    Remembering Mets History (1978) "Bad Dude" John Stearns Wins Out in Home Plate Collision with Big Dave Parker

    With two outs, in the bottom of the 9th, the Pirates still down by a run with the winning run Parker, on third base.

    The next batter was (future Mets coach) Bill Robinson. Robinson hit a fly ball to left field, Dave Parker tagged at third base, the Mets outfielder, Joel Youngblood who had a good arm, caught it & threw home. 

    Parker took off all six foot five, 230 lbs of him barreling into Mets catcher John Stearns. Stearns caught Youngblood's throw, stood his ground tagged out Parker, and was knocked away from home plate. 
     
    Quotes- John Stearns: "I gathered my senses & to my surprise the ball is still nestled in my mitt, like a sleeping baby. I showed it to the umpire & the game was over. I look over at Parker & he was still on the ground, moaning from a fractured jaw." 
     
    The Mets won the game 6-5.

    Not that you wrote this, but as a former baseball coach and a current softball coach, I have to say it - unless Parker's run counted as two, this is not possible. 

    "With two outs, in the bottom of the 9th, the Pirates still down by a run with the winning run Parker, on third base."

    Parker would have been the tying run in this scenario.

    In your letter you said you didn't love me
    You said you're gonna leave me
    But you could've said it better
    Oh in your letter, you said you couldn't face me
    You said you could replace me
    But you could've said it better

     

  3. Probably arguing over that shitty parking job.  I'd like to fight the owner of that Hummer just because they own a Hummer.  Throw in the parking job and weapons become a no-brainer.

    [Verse]
    Lauren rollin' in her ride
    Red white blue
    Got nothin' to hide
    Staggered steps
    Straight to the show
    Mar-a-lago lights in a neon glow

    [Verse 2]
    Kid Rock sippin' whiskey neat
    Power bottom with a sore seat
    Raised a glass
    Said cheers to fame
    He really isn't
    But all the same

    [Chorus]
    She's pulling things
    Grip is tight
    In the dim club's searing light
    She grabs his rope
    Gets in her flow
    Lauren
    Kid
    Try and steal the show

    [Verse 3]
    Crowd goes wild
    Lauren's pullin' hard
    Kid Rock smirks
    He can't get hard
    In the game of power and might
    Up is down
    Wrong feels right

    Smart move. Although, the edits would make the document an instant classic.

    As I mentioned, I'd give editing privileges to a select few here. If anyone wanted it, they could send a PM.  The vetting process would probably be more thorough than the current administration's process to get a secret clearance, though.   I'd also like to keep the current format, too.

    I can figure out how to iframe this into a post. 

    You, sir, may as well be speaking Martian because I cannot understand what you're saying to me. 👽
