Potentially apocryphal but it was said that 12 year-old Prince Fielder would hit it into the upper-deck at old Tiger Stadium.

The Detroit Neon...Later they became the Detroit Safari.

The combination of someone who knows how to write and who knows boxing is just a beautiful thing.

Ridiculous to be sure, but the article did say that the bill was so old (1953) that the counterfeit-detecting pen the school used didn’t work on it. The 1953 $2 bill looks pretty different compared to modern versions, so I’m really hoping it wasn’t a case of them not knowing the existence of a $2 bill, but just the…

According to her former employers, she was a secretary at a CPA firm, so the description on the tweet is incorrect.

The story about his longing for that Wings team jacket he was promised after he signed and was sent to their Juniors team always gets me so I was glad to see that included. Here’s a bit more:

Holy shit completely forgot about that too. I just re-watched the clip. And you know what? If he has a glove on there like the guy next to him, he doesn’t have to reach as far over the railing, and is still alive today. Don’t mention that to anybody in the above threads though.

I love the idea of the step-dad narrative here. This was his chance to finally win over the kid. If that guy catches that ball, it could have changed everything.

Felony or GTFO

Agreed.

Oh thank god. Although that is terrible sentence structure.

“Irving’s superior as a player in virtually every respect except isolation scoring”

Absolutely what they were going for. No clue in hell why they didn’t just go with “We’re going streaking!” if they were gonna make that joke. 1. It wouldn’t go over as many peoples’ heads. 2. No chance for anybody to interpret it as “accidental racism”.

Nah. That’s her reacting when the ball goes off the screen and lands in her cup that was sitting on the barrier along with the dude’s next to her.

Ghosts? Ghosts.

I did not even notice that. Great catch. And also, what the hell?? Is that stadium powered by a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-type Improbability Drive?

Or this one....

Definitely a dick move. Although not sure how much credit she should get for the initial catch, since the ball just landed in the cup while it was sitting on the concrete barrier (seriously what are the odds of that, a perfect drop-in without knocking it over). But she gets full marks for the chug and for excellent…

The Jaguars are letting it be known that they’re done playing by the rules. It’s time for them to steal the show.

It’d take a good player haul AND a team would probably have to take on Zimmerman’s contract. $74 million over the next 3 years.
