Quote from: 18thandWells on January 20, 2026, 06:06:42 PMPer BBWAA's official unwritten rules, noted sign-stealer Carlos Beltran is elected to the Hall of Fame the same year PED-user Manny Ramirez falls off the ballot.Willie Mays was on the 1951 Giants, who stole signals just as blatantly as the 2017 Astros using non-players with telescopes to relay signs to hitters. If you're going to not allow players who used illegal methods to steal signs, you pretty much couldn't allow anybody.
Quote from: MU82 on January 19, 2026, 08:57:58 AMFormer White Sox knuckleballer Wilbur Wood died over the weekend.I happened to be at the doubleheader in 1973 when Wood started both games against the Yankees, since my father would only go to doubleheaders as he wasn't going to pay those ridiculous prices ($1.50) for just one game. Wood didn't record an out in the first game so they brought him back to start the second game, where he pitched poorly and lost again. He averaged 45 starts/season for a 5 year stretch for the ChiSox, including back to back seasons with 49 starts. They don't make them like that anymore.
My main memory of him was that I was in Yankee Stadium the day Reggie Jackson homered off of him - the shot that launched tens of thousands of Reggie Bars onto the field.
Jackson, who years earlier had said that if played in New York "they'd name a candy bar after me," indeed had a candy bar named after him following his historic performance in the 1977 World Series.
Before their 1978 home opener, the Yankees gave every fan entering the park a Reggie Bar. Jackson hit a shot off of Wood in the first inning, and fans reacted by throwing the candy onto the field from every section and from the farthest reaches. The game was delayed for several minutes to clear the field.

"During the encounter, Pope Leo acknowledged the group, saying, 'Go Marquette.'"
It's official. MU has the support of the pope.
