well, there’s always last year.

This is my favorite baseball memory.

Agreed. I would like to know what Maddon would say if they got the out at home, but Contreras is out for the rest of the series with a broken leg or concussion. To me this play is just an unfortunate by-product of protecting players (and their contracts).

But without that rule, doesn’t Culberson just plow into Contreras? I get that this is the MLB equivalent of the “What’s a catch?” but I think that play is dramatically different if the rule doesn’t exist. Maddon wants it repealed, but then we go back to arguably the most dangerous hits in US sports. I think Maddon has…

You’re giving instructions to adults the internet on how they should spend their money. If I want to mainline heroin straight into my eyeball, you’re the least likely person to convince me not to.

Anyway, he’s still my favorite.

1999: Buffalo Sabres vs Dallas Stars Stanley Cup Finals. Game six. I don’t remember actually watching it so much as I remember the absolute meltdown in my entire household. I was watching from the top of the stairs (at 7 years-old, the 3OT game went well past my bed time) and the goal happened and my entire family…

And slamming Santa through a table is the reason, how?
