  1. He wasn't a good hitter, but he was an elite baserunner and pretty good defender. That used to play before teams caught up to the new realities of baseball. I remember Gaylord Perry was with Cleveland and had a scoreless streak at work; he walked Nelson to open the game, who proceeded to steal 2nd, 3rd and home.
  2. Dave Nelson is one of my favorite players ever. I actually received a private base running lesson from him. Nice man.
  3. I was at the Twins doubleheader in '72, sitting in the right-center bleachers. I was 12. We gave the Twins CF Bobby Darwin all kinds of shit. A just-turned 21 Bert Blyleven started one of the games for Minnesota.
  4. And the wind knocked three Jeff Burroughs home runs back into the LF's glove.
  5. Omaha isn't thrillsville, but it definitely doesn't suck.
  6. They've already built a church of iniquity that is straight out of Dabo's playbook.
  7. Later in his career. He was good with Oakland and only Kaline and Clemente had better arms in RF.
  8. The original Cleveland Municipal Stadium was 470 to CF and 322 down each line. In 1947 they moved CF to 440 and then in the 1970s (I think) to 410.
  9. On a neutral site, decent chance they all take down ATM.
  10. It may be an age thing, but I certainly remember the case. It received a lot of news coverage. National news.
  11. Any person who calls himself ironmanag sort of defies the adage about judging another person before walking a mile in their shoes.
  12. It sounds like our coaching staff thinks he has issues regarding trustworthiness. He's a Tech legacy that they opened their NIL for, but he is back out window shopping. Probably just making Tech pay more, but you know - or should know, no matter your drumbeat - that ATM is prone to impulsive moves.
  13. Dallas? Talk about a Johnny-Come-Lately with his own midgets.
  14. True. Chief difference being Looch is a successful con man, Hamm is certifiable.
  15. Nah. We've historically held our own against the Phillies. The entire NL West kicks the living shit out of the Rangers. Okay, they MAY break even with the Rockies, but the rest of the division is toxic to the Rangers.
  16. The redundant gift that keeps on giving. The world needs a tape loop now and again. Hook 'em!
  17. You're not original, but you are prolific. I think there's a couple of more threads in which you can post your butthurt ragey wit.
  18. Lofl. He doesn't, hell, he doesn't even have a Bagwell head. You guys, sheesh.
  19. Looks to be across Camp Bowie from the Kimbell.
