    interesting that it doesn't look full since there are bleacher seats that are empty. also, I can't figure out what that narrow trench-like passageway with all the people crammed in is. It doesn't look like there is game action taking place, so perhaps this shot was during pregame and that group of people in the passageway are people entering the park?
  2. OleMissCub
    ? I count at least 17 cops in that shot

    This is an absolutely phenomenal photograph. 1907 World Series: Cubs v. Tigers. West Side Grounds, Chicago, Illinois

    19 perfect games in nearly 200,000 MLB games and you "figured" he'd get one? :-s you'd shut your mouth if you know what's good for you
  5. OleMissCub
    awesome. figured he'd get one eventually.

    nor was he strong looking. He looked overweight to me.

    No idea if that's the case or not, but the single worse thing to me about the steroid era in sports is that any time someone dies way too young, there's always going to be that speculation... Kirby Puckett, Reggie White, Florence Griffith Joyner, etc. Kirby Puckett? The thought of Puckett and juice has never crossed my mind before.

    for some reason I'm recalling Paul O'Neil kicking the baseball into the infield

    I don't see what's so wrong with that. Jeter's OPS+ of 98 is pretty bad to the bone. 20 more points and he can win an MVP like Rollins in 07.

    yeah lets trade away young guys who show promise so we can get a 30+ year old stop gap at some position.

    that was in a hotel, but if you're referring to the incident where he beat the handicapped guy up in the stands, that would be pretty interesting to see because it was the baseball version of the Malice at the Palace since you had about a half dozen Tigers players charge into the stands with bats. That incident also led to the very first players strike in the MLB since the Tigers refused to play until Cobb and some of the others had their suspensions lifted because they felt the actions of their teammates were justified. The American League didn't budge for their next game in Philly and so the Tigers ownership went out and found a bunch of sandlot players near the park and had them play the Athletics. The poor pitcher, some 20 year old off the streets who didn't even make his high school team and had never pitched before, still has the record for most hits given up in a game by a single pitcher (26). His final line was 8 innings, 26 hits, 24 runs, 7 walks, and one K (I guess the A's let the bat boy take an AB). this is kinda funny. from his wiki page:

    I'd go see a game between the Athletics and Yankees in 1928. 17 Hall of Famers present, some of whom like Cobb and Collins were well past their prime, but just to see these guys play would be awesome. A's: Connie Mack Jimmie Foxx Eddie Collins Ty Cobb Al Simmons Zach Wheat Mickey Cochrane Lefty Grove Rube Walberg Yanks's: Miller Huggins Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig Tony Lazzeri Earl Combes Wait Hoyte Herb Pennock Leo Durocher (rookie)

    this isn't about me, it's about you and your schtick of constantly taking the most contrary opinion on something and running with it. It's almost like performance art at this point.
  16. OleMissCub
    look at me!! I'm being contrary folks!!

    Doris Kearns Goodwin is still alive. Studs Terkel is dead (somehow he lived to 2008). Stephen Jay Gould is dead I think.

    Glanville sounds like a drunk Richard Pryor

    anyone with DirecTV have a boxed i.e. non-widescreen picture right now on WGN?

    What was the big deal about a decrepit vacant dump being torn down for housing projects? because it was in New York. durrr

    I'm not complaining about him covering those things, but it's the amount of time he gives them. The way he completely ignored players and teams in the original series was sick. He'd waste half an hour off the entire series talking about the Polo Grounds being demolished but give a very interesting baseball personality like Rogers Hornsby a minute and a half. The 69 Cubs team wasn't even mentioned. There wasn't even a few moments talking about Wrigley Field either. Also, I wonder what northeastern intellectual buddies of his he is going to use almost exclusively this time.
  22. OleMissCub
    fail
  23. OleMissCub
    I can't wait for 2 hours about the Yankees of the late 90's and the Red Sox resurgence! It's gonna be SICK! 30 mins - late 90's Yankees 40 mins - Sox getting over the hump finally 10 mins - McGwire/Sosa 20 mins - Cal Ripken's record 20 mins - Miscellaneous stuff about roids and northeastern baseball clubs
  24. OleMissCub
    Sori is money lately
  25. OleMissCub
