Nothing finer in the land, they told me...

Under-fucking-rated. This is superb.

Lez be honest. Do you really not get it?

Of course I read the article. This thread was originally about left handed amateur baseball players who appreciated and emulated Palmeiro's swing. I think there are other threads about what you want to discuss. I'm sure they'll appreciate whatever...insights(?)...you no doubt have to offer. Happy new year.

Never said he belonged in the HOF. The OP and I were just discussing his sweet swing and how, as fellow lefties, it was fun to watch him. You came along and brought up whatever random topic you think you're discussing with us. I'm not sure what it's called when you are totally and completely…

Underrated, both as a name, and as a real advantage.

You have pretty much got the tall male experience down to the detail, other than there are slightly less people that are willing to smash into me more than once after I say something and/or threaten to visit bodily harm upon them. That being said, there are some travelers that DGAF and then we play the game between…

On Delta, it's usually $30 extra for the exit row. I'm 6'5", 230 and back in the golden days, they would just give me the exit seat on sight when I checked in, or asked nicely (or...gasp...first class every now and then...so fancy). My hips appear to be 5mm wider than the current coach seat, so the armrests dig in a…

I'm sure your aisle-mates would gladly lend a hand or support if you asked.

HOT SPORTS TAKE, BRO. Now, what was the problem with Palmeiro's swing that OP and other lefty kids used to emulate?

Lefty, 1B here too, plus most of my family went to Mississippi State. It was Palmeiro and Will Clark all day at my house.

Lol @ "professional" and "leggings" in the same sentence.

Pure, unadulterated win.

Sheer coincidence for sure

From 8 year old me's bedroom wall to your computer screen. Best.poster.ever.

Categorically: First paragraph: Agreed in total. The upper echelons in most sports are populated in significant quantity by PED users. Depending on the needs of the pursuit and individual body type, these users will not all be heavily muscled or of godlike physique. See Armstrong, supra; Manny Being Manny ex rel.

Will you concede that any of the best players did not use PEDs? What about the notion that certain people, based on certain factors such as cartoonish numbers in outlier seasons, appearing on patient lists of sketchy anti-aging clinics, or being named Mike Hampton, are more likely to have cheated? Or is mere…

Agreed, with the caveat that I am undecided if I think it'd be best for the new B league if some universities with the infrastructure already in place were the owners of some of the clubs in league. Logistically, it would make sense not to rebuild new stadiums and facilities, etc. Also, if the program WAS usefully…

Here's the thing. I'm a steroid realist. I believe that a ridiculous percentage of players used. However, if a group of guys is really good, yet in completely different ways than usually associated with PEDs, and were never in any way implicated in PED usage, you are purely speculating, and poorly at that. Also,…

I'm going to ask for some clarification on Cox's benefit from 'roiders. I will stipulate to concede that Javy Lopez, Rocker, Andruw Jones, Sheffield, and Giles were all 'roiding at various points. However, Cox's legacy is founded on Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, and Chipper. How are you figuring it?
