Re: 2017 MLB Season - The Goat Memorial Thread
The most amazing thing about the Tebow story is that it's not the first time a reigning Cy Young award winner has faced a Heisman Trophy winner.
Per the Mets announcers, Frank Viola faced Bo Jackson in 1989. Except that game actually counted because Bo was good enough to play in a real game.
In WBC action, Israel and the Netherlands are move on to Pool E in Tokyo. Korea and Taiwan are eliminated. Japan has essentially moved on to Pool E, also.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

Apparently they actually pulled in a metric sh-t ton of money from Florida redneck losers for that appearance both in boosted attendance and merc. Hey, Deplorable money is as green as any other. Milk those rubes dry*.

Obviously I'm completely on board if he wants to turn into a bona fide MLB player. Gonna have to sell something to afford Jake and Thor.Last edited by Kepler; 03-10-2017, 07:59 AM.Cornell University

Re: 2017 MLB Season - The Goat Memorial Thread
Watched three really good baseball-related things on my DVR today. Smithsonian Channel had a series about Major League Legends last year - the Hank Aaron episode is outstanding. Very well done and insightful. Lou Gehrig's episode was really good, too. If they replay any of them - check it out. I didn't see the Babe Ruth or Ted Williams episodes.
And then I watched the 30 for 30 about Darryl and Doc. Really interesting, but incredibly depressing. Seems like Darryl is doing OK these days, but I so wish Doc's story could've ended after his no-hitter with the Yankees. Heartbreaking.Last edited by jen; 03-13-2017, 08:39 PM.
