and to thank him, the league still doesn't recognize Julius' true career scoring (ABA) in spite of the leagues merging.
It's been 50 years, NBA, give up the grudge already. We won't even make you acknowledge all your best ideas since then came from this league you "don't recognize."

and had a 3.25 ERA, eighth in the AL and 35% better than league average, which illustrates why WAR is smart
I remain proud that the first presidential vote I cast, in the 1988 Democratic primary, was for Jesse Jackson.
Through some crazy fluke, years later I was able to tell him so and appreciate him once more.
His influence lives in any leader who helps us out of the mess we're in.
He will be missed.
So we have vintage superstars, 1980s-on rookies with no rhyme or reason, and a couple of quirky cards.
Even in understanding that best ≠ iconic, this is a sad list.
This was the "best" they could come up with over two brands and 75 years, yikes.

Viva! La Woman is a stunningly brilliant record. A debut like no other.
True or not, Griffith made such hateful and racist remarks in the offseason that Carew said he would never play for the Twins again.
Least of which he made fun of Carew for signing an under-market contract.
Injured and never to play another game Hall-of-Famer, Elgin Baylor, sitting between the two.

I forgot about that character's tendency, and also pretty much that character.
You're exactly right: That's what the word and use should revert to, a goof or a tic instead of psuedointellectualism.

The relentlessness and boorishness of the trademarks and copyrights on cards messes with every design and is the worst thing, perhaps among many, about modern collecting.
Got a Chicago Bears bag for Christmas and used it proudly for about three months, until the vinyl cracked and pressboard bottom fell out. Certainly not a product road-tested in a Chicago winter.
the movie starts with prison baseball and just gets better from there, if you can believe it
He could excel while playing lighter, too; Larceny Inc. is so good, we have it among our favorite "holiday movies."
Had both the curtains and the bedspread, in case you wonder where my complete inability to match colors as a adult came from.

This Mad Men story leads me to believe we saw an early print that somehow got released?
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
