My dad and Sr went back quite a ways. Jr was a hockey goalie and played a bit of baseball growing up and then for his dad’s Fastpitch team as a shortstop when he was 16 with his dad and three brothers. He never took baseball seriously until he played for the Reds as a 17 year old. He started mashing almost immediately... Raw as hell but strong as an ox and could run like a deer.Hank wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 9:14 pm His dad looked good. Didn't know that he was a prospect.
The more I think about it, the more improbable it seems. The guy never really played baseball as a kid, only glorified softball in some beer leagues. Then basically learns the game from scratch in the minors and becomes a big leaguer and HOFer.
That's crazy
Morneau had some great years, but after those concussions, he just wasn't the same player.

Not playoffs but;
Blue Jays denied government approval to play home games in Toronto
The Blue Jays home opener is scheduled for July 29 against the Washington Nationals, meaning the team now has 11 days to solidify a location for home games. Other options under consideration are TD Ballpark in Dunedin or Buffalo’s Sahlen Field, home of the triple-A Bisons.

Re: MLB playoffs
Turner is such a douchebag. Hopefully he gets ear holed a few times next season. I didn’t like him before, I can’t stand him now. His wife however is a smoke show. Clearly in it for the money, doesn’t give a good fuck about looks or hygiene.

That Hollywood Indian music and tomahawk crowd thing has always bugged me no end. I remember Ted Turner and Jane Fonda doing it seemingly completely unselfconsciously up in the owner's box.

Re: MLB playoffs
Well that's just it Don. The blind spots some of these Hollywood progressives exhibit is really peculiar. And Ted is certainly a member of the neolib media elite himself with all that that entails.

Re: MLB playoffs
I’d like to see it. I’m a big Freddie Freeman guy. Still a bit sour at the Astros antics of a few years ago. AA did a solid job in Toronto and he’s doing a solid job in Atlanta. I still can’t believe the Braves only won one WS with Smoltz, Glavine, Maddux and Jones. Ridiculous!Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 6:16 pm Hey, Vincenzo.

Re: MLB playoffs
I don’t think the Jays fans have some axe to grind with Anthopolous. He got shoved out by Shapiro. I’m no huge Jays fan but I sure like a lot of their players right now. A lot more likeable than the 92 and 93 teams.Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Sun Oct 24, 2021 1:51 pm Go Braves!
Hope Alex Anthopolous wins it and Jays fans go into meltdown.
