Note - Triple Crown stats are box score centric and do not offer any context. It’s apples to oranges, so that’s why comparisons like this happen -
1994 Jeff Bagwell > 1947 Ted Williams.

This makes me happy on so many levels. Also, sabermetrics be damned, 1996 Vaughn - .326/44/143 > 1967 Carl Yastrzemski’s Triple Crown Slash Line
Back in 2007 they used to have 7:35 p.m. first pitch for their weeknight games for that reason. It was awesome. The team wasn’t much to watch (See: Travis Metcalf and Jason Botts), but you could leave work on time and dodge some of the stadium traffic.
We’re talking about a professional sports team, not a high school basketball program.
You’d have better luck and feedback just commenting onto a TDMN Facebook page or Tweet. Their “digital first” mindset has them quantify those comments as useful.

So ultimately the Rangers will end up in Collin County by that measure.
DON’T FORGET THE STATUE OF TOM LANDRY!

I love bumming out HGTV fans when I explain that most of those shows are shot in Canada or in Texas, totally throwing off any understanding of property values.
The Blue Jackets are only a two hour drive away???
This never even dawned on me. Damn.
Ask Drew Magary during last week’s Live Funbag
This works -
Sadly, I don’t know the answer. I remember the protests were ill-timed as the students were out for Spring Break, so it was basically faculty/staff and a handful of bored kids on campus who probably shrugged when they were handed flyers about Aramark’s practices.
I just assumed that was the norm for the Marlins TV truck.
I am willing to bet you are spot-on in your assumption.
DUDE!!! I’ve seen the protests, too! The best was Aramark had some type of animal welfare protests against them and a pseudo-Anonymous type group was threatening all kinds of stuff if we didn’t start using REAL FREE RANGE CHICKEN ... Needless to say, it was one of the more entertaining emails I had in my inbox one…
Used to work in the marketing/communications department for a private, Catholic university in Irving, Texas. Wages were pretty good (better than I was making at The Dallas Morning News), but the honeypot for higher-ed jobs is the way they will try and comp you for other things (classes, MBAs, etc.).
Now the major…
It was 1997 and if I remember correctly Joe Robbie Stadium had a pretty piss-poor set-up in centerfield, so the camera well is likely pretty off-centered.
Maybe if Russel Martin starts framing pitches like Charles Johnson, then we’ll be in business!
Serious Answer(s):
I’d go with Steve Young, and then a host of Pacific Islanders playing professional rugby that for the life of me I can’t pronounce.
