If Derrick White's name was just a little more similar to Dereck Whittenburg (it's close!) he could have pulled off that play.

You're using the JD Vance tactic - no one will pay attention if I only say the exact truth

18 out of 25.

18 out of 25. Bonafide New Yorker

Quiz scored me as a "bonafide New Yorker" even though I'm just somebody who visits and knows things. On the other hand I doubt that I would get 18 out of 25 for anyplace that I actually ever did live.

Baseball has survived a racist color line, game fixing, The Great Depression, two world wars, a work stoppage that canceled a World Series, and Bowie Kuhn. Can we stop talking about "one team trying too hard to win" as an existential threat to the game?

We passed the point of no return when Oreo released a cookies and cream flavor...and then somehow went further with non-alcoholic White Claw.

But this is at least an accurate definition. I still haven't gotten over the GMC commercial: a pitcher who can paint the corners is known as a "Rembrandt". No he isn't. Nobody ever said that. I have boycotted GMC since.

That's smart to do anything you can to steer them away from growing up as Mets fans like you. If they wore Mets caps to school the teacher would call DYFS. Nobody should be subjected to the kind of torture that franchise regularly inflicts on its fan base.

Only to shit on your point, the Yankees are 16-5 since this picture. Best record in baseball during that time.

Is "know" defined? There is a large gap between "know of" and "personally know".
