Indeed. One can even miss some of the rumors, ideas, etc. of an MLB off-season. 😒

Count me in with the "I'm good with the toaster building" crowd

[RandyMarsh]

If the contract was settled and everything were to start on time we'd be passing the halfway point between the last Tigers game and their first Spring Training game.  It would be all downhill from here, sadly though that isn't the case since things likely aren't going to start on time.

That’s fantastic

Did he wear the shorts too, the ones that barely cover his butt?

[IdahoBert]

Has Andrew Romine, been universally known as “All 9 Romine” for a long time and I merely missed it or did Jason Beck just make this up? Have I been walking around for years unaware of this? I am not a ‘Sports Bro’ and don’t watch or listen to wall to wall sports shows or podcasts so I could’ve missed this if this is where it was proclaimed. I don’t go to a lot of bars either where drunk people are celebrating and screaming drunk people sorts of stuff which is the only other place it could’ve been slurred into common parlance and seared on to the surface of the collective unconscious . I’ve never heard it here which I think if it were actually a real thing is where I would’ve heard it.

I remember those. They were uncommonly short even for the time. I think he had his mom shorten those shorts for him or something like that. It was on purpose.

Many many moons ago Selleck came to Durham for a play. The title of the play was, A Thousand Clowns. My wife has always been a huge Selleck fan. We attended one of the shows there and it was great. This was several years after the Magnum television series ended.

Filmed in 1965. Jason Robards and a teenage Barry Gordon. A quintessential 60's story.

Did he have the Jason Robards role? It's up there on my favorite obscure movie lists.

I have been known to criticize the neighborhood about the quality of garbage.

To look like Tom Selleck and play down and out would be a tour de force.

He played Murray Burnes. The show was at Duke University.

On the same note

 

 

[Shinzaki]

The Archer episode where he went on a rampage and referenced Magnum PI is one of my favorites

"Did you watch Regis this morning?"

 

[Motown Bombers]

Not surprised to see Cabrera leading Michigan, although I wouldn't have been surprised to see Baez either, but New Mexico?

They may be but that’s pretty cool. 

[Tigermojo]

Ohtani for President!

[Tiger337]

There is no way Ohtani is the most popular player in Masschusetts.  Most Red Sox fans barely know he is.  The favorite is probably David Ortiz.  

[CMRivdogs]

The same for Virginia. I know there are a lot of transplants but they all can't be Angel's fans.

However I can't think of a popular play on the O's or Nats that hasn't been traded the Dodgers...

Have BoSox fans soured on Bogearts? Wasn't he once the next big thing? He's not all that outstanding in any area but he's a pretty nice player overall.

It's not by popularity, it's the player most checked out on Baseball Reference in that state.
