“I did have a spreadsheet of my baseball stats from 2000-2013 and this makes me wonder what I did with it, so I'm going to search.I kept all my softball stats from 2003-2010, but then my power started to fade and my interest in tracking waned. I need to go searching for those”

@adarowski.bsky.social A guy I used to play softball with, late 40s, usually plays on multiple softball teams and also in a men’s baseball league, and is also kind of a stats nerd…I asked him if he has tracked all of his hits in his lifetime.

Speaking of which, do you have your 4000 hits list posted somewhere?

When are you not a baseball nerd?

Not surprisingly, it made this list:

I was just about to mention Knoblauch.

South Bend, State College, Columbus, Austin. Couldn’t ask for much better than that.

Yeah, I’d be willing to bet that was the first Cody for Cody.

Is there research out there on baseball trades involving only players with the same first name?

Tigers Blood Waxahatchee · Album · 2024 · 13 songs

This might be the closest thing to a perfect album in years.

TBH, before I read this reply, I thought about the legendary connection between the two of you.

Wishing a very happy birthday to Neil Young!

This is part of an assignment my 7th grade son is working on. It’s 8 years old so perhaps old news, but still topical.

The only musical hill I’m willing to die on is that Tony Bennett’s version of “O Christmas Tree” is THE best Christmas song.

Merry Christmas if you celebrate!

I was going to ask about this. I was getting a little worried.

I meant a more logical leap might be to say he’d have been a great 3B if he was right-handed.

I don’t know. I think it’s a stretch to assume this. Big difference between being a brilliant 1B and a brilliant SS. If he was athletic enough to be a SS, why wasn’t he a CF. 3B maybe?

Also, the day this came out was the day I saw the Ted Lasso episode with Trent wearing a Midlake shirt.

This was a nice touch and it really reinforces why I wanted to support an artist who hadn’t made an album in over ten years.

I just noticed this resemblance but I guess the internet has already discovered this.

Cool. I’ve been working on retrospective top 10s by round number anniversaries…so this year is ‘73, ‘83 and ‘93. I’m a little less ambitious than you.

Is Burlington your “Sound Town” too?

Tell me with a straight face you knew Kissinger was still alive.

Here’s what Spotify has to say about my music listening in 2023.

Thank you. Peaceful in a good way (i.e. no drama) or in a boring way?
