  1. You made me curious just how many there are. The answer is 31, but Kid Gleason should have an asterisk. He retired in 1908, but came back and played one game in 2012. He did go 1 for 2 in that game, finishing the year hitting .500. He also would manage the 1919 Black Sox a few years later. Out of this list, every position is represented except for 3B. Player Position First season Last season Dan Brouthers First baseman 1879 1904 Jim O'Rourke Outfielder 1872 1904 Kid Gleason Pitcher / Second baseman 1888 1912 Deacon McGuire Catcher 1884 1912 Jack O'Connor Catcher 1887 1912 Jack Ryan Catcher 1889 1913 Nick Altrock Pitcher 1898 1933 Eddie Collins Second baseman 1906 1930 Jack Quinn Pitcher 1909 1933 Satchel Paige Pitcher 1927 1965 Bobo Newsom Pitcher 1929 1953 Mickey Vernon First baseman 1939 1960 Ted Williams Outfielder 1939 1960 Early Wynn Pitcher 1939 1963 Minnie Miñoso Outfielder 1947 1980 Willie Mays Outfielder 1948 1973 Jim Kaat Pitcher 1959 1983 Tim McCarver Catcher 1959 1980 Willie McCovey First baseman 1959 1980 Bill Buckner First baseman 1969 1990 Rick Dempsey Catcher 1969 1992 Carlton Fisk Catcher 1969 1993 Jerry Reuss Pitcher 1969 1990 Nolan Ryan Pitcher 1966 1993 Rickey Henderson Outfielder 1979 2003 Mike Morgan Pitcher 1978 2002 Jesse Orosco Pitcher 1979 2003 Tim Raines Outfielder 1979 2002 Ken Griffey Jr. Outfielder 1989 2010 Jamie Moyer Pitcher 1986 2012 Omar Vizquel Shortstop 1989 2012
  2. I'd keep Joe Buck if they'll take Al Michaels instead.
  3. Babbitt was just climbing up to block others from going through the broken window. Hero! Edit...shit, just saw @Hookah Horns already posted the same thing.
  4. Chris Beard lookin' phat in the Denver airport about to board a flight to DFW.
  5. Dolly is at it again. In all seriousness, though, there have been a couple of sonic-like booms heard around here the past 24 hours. I heard one Saturday afternoon during the K-St game.
  6. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/02/04/yes-chinese-spy-balloons-flew-over-the-us-when-president-trump-was-in-office-too/?sh=58b309fe3ea3
  7. It'll be me, my wife and our 10 yr old daughter and we'll be arriving Feb 8th. I've never really given a shit about visiting there, but my wife won a "free" trip through her office so here we are. At least we'll be getting away from winter in Montana for a week. We're staying at the Aston Waikiki Hotel right across from Waikiki Beach, so we'll definitely spend some time at the beach. And my daughter wants to go to the zoo, which is also close by. There's also the usuals - Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor. Any other recommendations?
  8. I'm not much of a hockey fan, but I can appreciate the greats. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/35557785/hall-famer-bobby-hull-golden-jet-dies-age-84
  9. Poor Richie/Steve Bolander.
  10. Pole, building, tower....whatever was closest.
  11. Turn my back on Lindsey Graham? Fuck that!
  12. Why does ESPN always try to fit a basketball game into a 2 hr window? Unless your team is playing the first game of the day, you're guaranteed to miss the first couple of minutes of your game. There was 47 seconds left in the Baylor-Ark game at the top of the hour. 11 minutes later, there's still 14.5 seconds remaining.
  13. This thread news a new start.
  14. This can't be true, can it? I KNOW I've heard him in a broadcast more recently than 14 years ago.
  15. What a douche! [rim shot]
  16. Have a little respect for Clyde, dammit!
  17. I need the specifics of this one yard rule. Does it mean the Proud Boy must be within a yard of the housewife to ejaculate? Or does it count if he shoots his load and it lands within a yard of her while she's running away?
  18. Depends on their ethnicity. If they're dark enough, all it takes is one person to qualify.
  19. Looks like nothing more than tourist activity to me.
  20. This is totally OK, though, because the Supreme Court would never overturn an overturn.
  21. I'd rather nail my sack to smoldering charcoal than watch that peckerwood. Rightwing "comedy" is a fucking beating.
  22. Maher is gradually going the way of Taibbi and Weiss. The transition will be complete by the 2024 election. Last night, all three guests were right-leaning. I did agree with a thing or two that each of them said. However, I know Barr didn't really mean it when he said "live and let live." He was just pandering.
  23. One of his last tweets....
  24. I dont recall that. Oh Yes I Can. It's All Coming Back to Me Now. You'd be a dickhead, too, if your Voyage took you down the Thousand Roads that man traveled. Every time he started Looking Forward thinking the road was taking him down the straight and narrow, it was Turn! Turn! Turn! Many have No Tears Left for the man, but I'll always appreciate his standing among the music greats.
  25. Did I just see a Corona Christmas commercial during the break??
