We’ll look forward to seeing Beane send some or all of these prospects back to the Yankees once they’ve become productive at the major-league level.

>what the fuck is the guy doing there, anyway?

He ignored the guy three times but it finally got to be too much. This won’t be the last time he would’ve been better opting for a quadruple bypass.

McCain was like:

Cop here. 41. White. I don’t look like that. But you aren’t wrong.

Were you out all fucking night?

What about Ted Williams with his first HOF baseball career, than his HOF sportfishing career and finally his HOF applied cryogenics career?

over 40 and i think with the Mets the team boards the bus. the manager tells everyone that rookies sit in the front and those with tenure can sit where they like....Rickey responds, ten-year i have 20 years

Ichiro Suzuki had a Hall-of-Fame career in Japan, and followed that up with a second one in MLB.

Were you not listening to the dude’s story, Donny?

I’m an industry nerd and I’ve long been over attending Comic-Con, but this woman had me pining for the best parts of the experience!

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.
