Manny Ramirez wore 99 for three seasons. Criteria to make the list was 10 seasons. Yeah but Turk was bat [expletive] crazy awesome. That should count for life me 20 WAR. Interestingly enough, Manny's WAR in those three seasons for the Dodgers was higher than Turk's lifetime WAR. http://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/numbers.cgi?number=99&year=0

Because I'm that bored. Best players for each jersey number. Looked at highest WAR with at least 10 years in that jersey as the determining factor. No Number - Cy Young 0 - Al Oliver 1 - Ozzie Smith 2 - Derek Jeter 3 - A-Rod 4 - Gehrig 5 - Pujols 6 - Musial 7 - Mantle 8 - Joe Morgan 9 - Ted Williams 10 - Lefty Grove 11 - Barry Larkin 12 - Roberto Alomar 13 - A-Rod 14 - Pete Rose 15 - Red Ruffing 16 - Ted Lyons 17 - Todd Helton 18 - Johnny Damon 19 - Robin Yount 20 - Frank Robinson 21 - Roger Clemens 22 - Jim Palmer 23 - Ryne Sandberg 24 - Willie Mays 25 - Barry Bonds 26 - Wade Boggs 27 - Scott Rolen 28 - Bert Blyleven 29 - Rod Carew 30 - Nolan Ryan 31 - Greg Maddux 32 - Steve Carlton 33 - Larry Walker 34 - Kirby Puckett 35 - Phil Niekro 36 - Gaylord Perry 37 - Dave Stieb 38 - Curt Schilling 39 - Dave Parker 40 - Bartolo Colon 41 - Tom Seaver 42 - Jackie Robinson 43 - Dennis Eckersley 44 - Hank Aaron 45 - Bob Gibson 46 - Andy Pettitte 47 - Tom Glavine 48 - Rick Reuschel 49 - Ron Guidry 50 - Jamie Moyer 51 - Randy Johnson 52 - CC Sabathia 53 - Don Drysdale 54 - Goose Gossage 55 - Orel Hershiser 56 - Mark Buehrle 57 - Johan Santana 58 - Jonathan Papelbon 59 - Todd Jones 60 - Scott Schoeneweis 61 - Livan Hernandez 62 - Scott Shields 63 - Rafael Betancourt 64 to 69 - None 70 to 71 - None 72 - Carlton Fisk 73 - Ricardo Rincon 74 - None 75 - Barry Zito 76 to 79 - None 80 to 87 - None 88 - Rene Gonzalez 89 - None 90 to 99 - None Thank to Logan for the format change.

M & Ness don't sell college jerseys. Just looked on their site. They don't really have that many jerseys. For example, they don't sell a Bo Jackson Raiders jersey.

Gehrig I think

I don't even know who that is for NC. I figured theirs would be a Jordan UNC jersey.

That one isn't so strange on the surface to me. Boston and New York are closer, but Toronto is probably the third closest NBA team to people in that state. I don't keep up with NBA at all, so this is an honest question. Have any of those cities had anyone as popular as Carter the last 15 years or so?

Molitor in West Virginia is pretty weird

Damn. Someone is gonna have to die for lying to me.

Fine, he can be Dirty Steve http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/youngcubcastro_zpszwbucitd.jpg

Castro turned 25 today. Only 4 people in history have had more hits by their 25th birthday than Castro. Cobb, Kaline, Aaron, and Yount. Incredible.

Someone had to be left out and I chose him :-( Castro is awesome and Baez is sorrow molded into human form; the choice wasn't even a choice. Darlin Starlin will be entering his sixth season this year. Not sure if he still qualifies as a young gun

muhaha. sorry, but I had to. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/guns2_zpsjrjym8nf.jpg I like it. But - is it fair to include Hendricks too? He could the the Arkansas Dave Rudabagh character. That's Young Guns II, yo

Don't want to F with a trial. It's harder than people think to get a jury to give a unanimous vote, which is needed for a felony conviction. You attempt to come out to a happy medium. It's the prosecutors risk that they may lose vs. the defendant's desire to not lose and possibly get a max sentence vs. the interest of justice for the victim When I was a prosecutor, the best leverage was to basically say "look, if this goes to trial and you lose, then the judge is probably going to sentence you to a much, much greater sentence than you would from us if you just accept the plea." Plea deals can be good and bad. I think they are troubling sometimes because if the defendant doesn't accept a plea, then the state is basically punishing a defendant for exercising their constitutional right to a trial when it comes to sentencing. That's not always the case, but some judges are real hardasses.

Holy smokes...

Had a nice beer shower tonight during our win against #1 Florida http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/beershower_zps0xugxur5.jpg

Ole Miss as well. or not... There will be no comeback today.

Sad story, but you guys realize that like half of it is complete bull [expletive] right? How so

It's sad to think that the name Pete Reiser could have easily been as second nature to us as the names Willie Mays or Mickey Mantle, yet none of us have even heard of the guy. That was a brutal read. As easily as he was able to be knocked out, he must have literally had dozens of undiagnosed concussions. Oh, and learning to throw with his other arm?? What a badass move.

Holy [expletive]. Down 17 at half. Wow. 50 pts in the last 14:07
