Clayton Kershaw is just 3 months older than Jacob deGrom.

What did you look like at 17?

From May 22, 1985 to August 25, 1987, the Cardinals Vince Coleman stole 271 bases and did not hit a single home run.

This is gross.

Ronald Acuña Jr.'s first home run of the year means Otis Nixon's team record of 72 stolen bases without a HR is still safe. Vince Coleman holds the MLB record, with 107 stolen bases without a HR, in 1986.

I bought a 32' LCD TV from Best Buy for $1199 the day of the 2006 World Cup Final.

In April 2023, I bought my mom a 50' smart 4K Roku TV for $249.

Once when I was a kid, the 20something neighbor across the street dumped a bucket of water on his 40something mom and her tube top came down to her knees. As she tried to cover her breasts, my dad yelled “If you’re gonna drown those puppies, I’ll take the one with the pink nose.”

Ronald Acuña Jr and Marcell Ozuna combined are on pace for 81 HR, 81 SB.

As much as you might hate Angel Hernandez, it will be his ineptitude which will expedite the transition to robot umps.

After France threw the fourth pitch further outside than the third pitch for a called strike, he figured “WTF I’ll see if I can throw it further outside” and it worked.

Wade Boggs had 3,010 major league hits, but he also had 724 hits in the minors while the Red Sox were deciding if a guy with 9 career HR was worth bringing up.

This is why I quit playing baseball.

My favorites are Ray Of Light and Cherish, but her best song is probably Crazy For You.
