Magazine cover--can't find the original photo--but this would be high on my own list:

Why do you guys say that? One thing I know about him is this.

https://www.mlb.com/news/ted-williams-hall-of-fame-speech-honored-negro-league-players

(I guess his speech is marginally undermined by his words about Yawkey, but he was hardly alone there.)

clemenza, Friday, 17 December 2021 23:58 (four years ago)

i guess it's just recency bias (as in, i recently learned about it), but he seems to have really gone out of his way to fuck gil hodges over by refusing to let roy campanella (one of the HOF voters that year for the veteran's committee, I think) vote via phone, even though campanella was very ill and died a couple months later. campanella would have been the 12th and clinching vote.

Karl Malone, Saturday, 18 December 2021 16:38 (four years ago)

Been reading up--didn't know that. I agree with him that Hodges was a weak candidate, but that does seem petty (not to mention not letting someone in a wheelchair vote by phone). Must be some decades-long grudge.

How much would you give for one of those cardigans.

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 3 February 2022 22:00 (four years ago)

when did the name "Rube" die out?

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 4 February 2022 05:47 (four years ago)

intrigued by the evolutionary process of ears

andrew siciliano is certainly a throwback

mookieproof, Friday, 4 February 2022 06:54 (four years ago)

rube was a nickname for a country bumpkin but marquard was a city boy, and people called him that because he reminded them of another lefty pitcher, rube waddell

they're checking out the carnage, i guess! it's from after the 1969 world series

I love the harry dean stanton phase of matt carpenter's career

The Artist formerly known as Earlnash, Thursday, 2 March 2023 02:19 (three years ago)

damn it's been a minute since i really followed baseball and i never wouldve guessed that's matt carpenter! it's amazing what a beardless mustache does for a guy's look. take all those pesky ad patches off the uniform, run that thing through a sepia filter, and it would fit right in on a goudey gum card from the 1920s (ok the uniform fit is a bit off)

whoops, meant to do the sepia as well. might as well triple post this image and get it right, so that we can remember this great old timer from the days when winning the world series money meant not having to work at taco bell for the winter
