What's the best thing to do when you have a guy in a table-top league who insists on doing stuff that is clearly not anticipated by the rules, but not technically prohibited?

Jose Ramirez is fascinating, because he doesn't look at all like one of the five best players in baseball, but he is. He doesn't look like he would be fast, but he is. Sort of in the Rick Reuschel/deceptive body class.

Gil Hodges, or Ted Kluszewski?

I just read on Wikipedia that Cal Abrams, died 1997, was buried in his Dodger uniform.

Isn't that sweet?

Al Simmons, 1924-1944, 68.3 WAR. Hack Wilson, 1923-1938, 38.7 WAR. Both came up as center fielders, opposed one another in the 1929 World Series. Who do you like?

TIL that the Red Sox knew what they were doing when they gave Cedanne Rafaela all that money.

Never do to a dog what the law wouldn't allow you to do to a politician.

Kind of a deep dive, but I'm working on something for which I need to classify Babe Ruth in 1918 as either a pitcher or a position player. So was Ruth that year more valuable as a pitcher, or playing the field?

The Netflix show The Confession Killer, about Henry Lee Lucas, is just outstanding. I had wondered for 40 years what really happened there, and the show offers an explanation of the events that is 100% convincing.

Alright, who wants to play the White Sox next. Anyone?

Back in my day, we didn't need no tents to shut down the campus.

Announcer mentions a pitcher throwing a 'heavy ball'. Heaviest ball I ever saw was Scott Erickson, with the Twins in the early 90s, later the Orioles. You'd see hitters square the pitch up, and it would be a ground ball to second. Remember him?

Perhaps the issue is not so much whether any pitcher in the future COULD win 300 games, but whether any pitcher will be allowed to.

The worst argument ever made about who should be selected. . .

For about 50 years I would buy a copy of Who's Who in Baseball every spring. I think they stopped publishing Who's Who about 10 years ago, but at this time of the year I still haunt the bookstores and newsstands, hoping against hope that one will turn up.
