Cruzer1 Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Soto is advised by Scott Boras. He's going to reach free agency, and will go to the highest bidder. He may go for 40 or 50 million per year. The sky is the limit. Quote

oblong Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 It's the same feeling I get when I go to a concert. You are outside, maybe waiting in line. You get in the lobby, walk around, get a drink then go out into the theater area and see the stage and drums set up, the lights, the soundboard.. then it hits you why you are there. 1 Quote

RandyMarsh Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Came across this on twitter. We probably still would've found a way to lose though. Quote

oblong Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 No, it wasn't Jerry. I cannot think of the guys name right now but he was the beat guy in '68 then transitioned to op ed style things, which is where I would read him in the 90's. He also hosted some shows on WJR. He passed away probably 10 years ago. It's bugging me his name.... Quote

1776 Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 I read Cantor’s book on the ‘68 Tigers. Good book. Quote

Does he still write rambling post-retirement articles about how everything was better in the 1930s and how current players don't respect the game and fancy analysis has ruined the game? At first, I found him annoying, but it was so perfect it became amusing after a while which may have been Detroit News' intention. Quote

Shinzaki Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 A pretty good non Tiger book from years ago is Peter Gammons' "Beyond the Sixth Game". It takes a close look at the Red Sox from post 1975 WS to the mid 80's. The Sox were a bit of a clown show during that period (let's forget to mail Fisk a contract so he becomes a FA) so it's an interesting study Quote

I always feel that way when the 1st spring training game is on tv. Around here brown and dead but that Florida grass looks so green and beautiful. Quote

Jim Cowan Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 My first time walking up the ramp and seeing that green field, the seats were green too. Beautiful. Quote
