The oldest player to ever hit a home run in the World Series is 25 days younger than me. I guess that finally closes the door on my pro athletics career.

No, the oldest player to hit a home run in game 7 of the World Series.

I must say that the stats nerds have been working overtime over at Fox Sports.
Have some patience, FFS.

That's rough. I'm about a month and a half older than LeBron, and he's got 3 rings to my 0, but at least I've still got a few years left to close the gap.

Rick Reuschel would have been safe.

World's fastest fat guy.  Hell of a hitter too.

Anyone remember 1997 when the Indians' untouchable closer blew the save?

Crossing my fingers.

This is all on Maddon. Took Hendricks out too early, took Lester out too early. Not many bullets left in the bullpen.

Short rainfall in Cleveland. Major rain in about 45 minutes. 

Channeling my inner John Milan.

Why channel the ghosts of a bunch of guys who never won?   Channel the ghosts of Tinkers, Evers, and Chance.

No, because this is actually Joe's fault.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

This is a short blip.  Heavier stuff passing  though Fremont, not far out from Sandusky.  Get a run here and we got it.
