I would be EXTREMELY disappointed if their mascot turned out NOT to be a Whippoorwill of Freedom.

Gehrig WAS the MVP in 1927 - granting that the old “League Award” isn’t exactly the MVP as we know it now.
Was thinking about what you could do as an alternative to invoking the Larry Playfair rule or whatever. Since Japan and Senegal were playing in different cities today, you can’t really get them together for a quick penno shootout. But what if there was a shootout after EVERY match, regardless of score, with the…
These writers are frauds, in my opinion:
You know you’re beefing with the man who has the most-starred comment in Kinja history, right?

One of the things that makes LeBron James awesome is that, when he makes a basket, his baskets are worth two - and sometimes even three! - points. Your analysis fails to take this unique feature of James’ game into account.
Hill became the first pitcher in the last 100 seasons to throw nine innings, allow one or fewer hits with no walks, and lose. He is also now the first pitcher to ever lose a no-hit bid on a walk-off homer.
Malachi was an Old Testament prophet - that’s hardly an East-West All Stars kind of name.
Remember we’ve got the new rule where you can issue an intentional walk without throwing a pitch. So intentional walk, pickoff, intentional walk, pickoff, intentional walk, pickoff.
I’ve tried this in the past also and got 301' for the Pesky Pole. I think that all of the signage at Fenway is accurate, including 420' in the triangle, EXCEPT for the “310" sign in left, which everyone has known for decades to be complete bullshit. The left field corner is almost exactly the same as the Pesky Pole.…
The winner of the stage gets a 0:10 time bonus and the runner up gets a 0:06 bonus. So it was worth four seconds in the GC. But more to the point, Kittel and EBH are competing for the green jersey, in which cyclists earn points for their finishing order at various sprint checkpoints.
Dred Scott v. Sandford is still the worst decision ever.
According to Baseball Reference, the 1924 Phillies allowed at least five runs per game in 20 consecutive games—basically their entire September of that season. It’s a weird, fairly arbitrary streak, but it’s not a fun one for either club.

Yes. Something similar happened when the current Charlotte Hornets nee Bobcats reclaimed the history of the original Charlotte Hornets, leaving the New Orleans Hornets / Pelicans to be treated as a stand-alone franchise. If you want to do something like that, it doesn’t have to make sense or be consistent with any…
It’s not just the first two titles were a zillion years ago, it’s also that they were before the team moved to California. The “Golden State Warriors” won three NBA titles; the other two belong to Philadelphia. If Oklahoma City wins the NBA title next year, the banner isn’t going to say “TWO TIME NBA CHAMPIONS 1979 &…
I like the inclusion of 1947 and 1956 on the blue “NBA Champions” banner - that was a riveting NBA finals series between the Phila Warriors and Ft Wayne Pistons.
Am I the only one who read this as “Herb Alpert” when scrolling past? Was all set to make some kind of joke about the fan failing to Rise to the occasion or something, when I realized what it actually said.
