Those four guys are trying to stay out of the way. Tonight, they're just... trying!

Haven't thought about that guy in decades.

Catchers would miss catching more pitches. (Batters just cuss under their breath.)

I am reminded of an early Mike Shannon-ism: "Hit it to Hebner; maybe he'll boot it..."

Am I the only dude bumfuzzled by both teams wearing their road uniforms in the World Series? Yeesh!

Having West Coast teams kicking off at 9 AM is... less than optimal.

That's been... a while! Smaller league back then. 10 teams!

I have spent a long lifetime enjoying my team hitting more than my team pitching. Well, except when Bob Gibson was pitching. That was fun!

Ol' Diz didn't have a batting helmet in '34. (I have *no* idea why he was pinch-running in that game.)

What's your opinion of the glowing puck? 🏒🥅

One came make a good argument that the best Bears quarterback was their first; Sid Luckman.

You changed your opinion based on new information? Is that still allowed? (Also... apple juice???) 😉

Is it possible to drink Oxford dry? Not in my experience!

The baseball doesn't score runs, either. Those guys running the bases do that.

Home baseball crowds in October are Shiny Happy People when the home team is winning.

In Toronto, they're Shiny Happy People, Eh!

Sometimes the wrong move works. Sometimes the right move fails. The beer stays cold either way.

I remember the last true World Series in 1968. After that, playoffs...

I had one bad enough to require complete replacement. Before I turned 50! (Most of my parts are original... 'cept fer the knee, the eyes, & several teeth.)

One has to screw up the knee *really* bad to need a replacement *that* early. Works now, though...
