  1. That'll take some of the sting out of 0-for-15 career start.
  2. @Helobious
  3. The Seattle Metropolitans say hey.
  4. But don't forget that Kaeden Kent's dad is the greatest second baseman to ever play...
  5. Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez, huh?
  6. Worse, it's southern Ohio, basically Kentucky.
  7. Just figuring out that there are several more unless you toss out the 19th century guys, including Hall of Famer Ed Delahanty: And if you've never heard of Ed Delahanty...
  8. That 1B was a first-round pick. He got cut in July of that year, and finished the year in Korea, then never played again after 2021, ending his career with -0.7 bWAR. He's now an assistant at Belmont University: https://belmontbruins.com/staff-directory/will-craig/385
  9. Another great asterisk would be Monte Irvin, who won 3 batting titles and a HR title in the Negro Leagues and an RBI title with the NY Giants:
  10. So... Aaron, Ruth, Dimaggio, Mize, and Speaker Pujols, Manny, Bonds, Arod, and Galarraga
  11. Willie never led the league in RBI and Musial never led the league in HR.
  12. Boom! The other "Big Cat." Hall of Famers: Ruth, Speaker, Dimaggio, Mize, 1 more and it's easy. non-HOF: Bonds, ARod, Pujols, Manny, Andres fucking Galarraga
  13. To be fair, I did not have a kayak the weekend I went.
  14. I knew one of the Immaculate Grid guys would get this one: This is the hardest one, IMO: For the 2nd-hardest one, the big hint is that he had the same nickname as AG. Hall of Famers: Ruth, Speaker, Dimaggio, 2 more? non-HOF: Bonds, ARod, Pujols, Manny, Andres fucking Galarraga
  15. Since we're getting off of MLB-only, my two favorite baseball parks in the world: Carroll B. Land Baseball Field: Jim Darden Field:
  16. This is one of my greatest parenting victories: When my daughter was in HS, we took a trip to Boston. We went to a Sox game, then rented a car and drove to Cooperstown for a couple of days. Then we drove several hours through heinous traffic to get to a Cape Cod League game. We were sitting on the berm in Falmouth (?) watching the game and I started worrying that this was too much baseball for her. Literally right about that point she piped up, "I wish they had something like this in Wimberley. I'd make my friends go every night."
  17. Dimaggio and Ruth from the HOF list. 3 more? Pujols, AROD, and Bonds from the not (yet?) HOF list. 2 more?
  18. Whoops, there's another that forgot to count because I think of him as a HoFamer even though he's not in yet. The three guesses so far are correct... Bonds: Pujols: Arod:
  19. Churro splits taste amazing, but they are also incredible gut bombs. I mean, you're eating ice cream covered donuts.
  20. They're better when they're not 3 years old.
