Johnson-Gilkey 1996?

I'll guess one of Valentine's interchangeable outfield parts...Agbayani.

1. Duda 2. None of the above; they make a move and get someone outside the organization. No idea who, but JCL's idea sounds pretty good. 3. Young Young Granderson 4. Going out on a limb and say that Mejia will tweak something, Dice K will struggle with his control, and Lannan will have a strong spring. He and his Kristen Chenowith doppleganger wife will make the trip north. 5. Teagarden

I think I remember who it happened against, the team that did it, and one of the batters, but for the life of me I don't know the other guy. Bump Wills and ____________, for the Rangers against the Yankees in the late 70s.

Oh, good. Then lets give Kerfeld 2 points for the Jell-O contract rider; and another 2 for the same Jetsons shirt he wore every game.

And perhaps also bonus points for writing 37 boxes of jello into his contract so that he earned more than Jim DeShaies?

Charlie Kerfeld rates at least an 89, though that could be higher as I am unaware if he has tats (almost a certainty) or the nature of said tats; nor am I aware of the white-trashiness of his nuptials or his arrest record, though I'm sure he earns points there. OH, and i am sure he entered to either country or metal, but have no evidence to back that up. 7 points - pretty sure he dyed his hair at one point 8 points - mullet at some point 6 points - RIghthanded 8 points - Fastballer 6 points - Braves 6 points - eyeware 7 points - apology/non-apology for getting sent to minors because of his weight 8 points - little extra at the waist 8 points - 6' 6" 7 points - at least 240 +3 points - officially listed at 225, but found one site that said he hit 275 before being farmed out 3 points - unbuttoned jersey. Now he didn't really do this but only because the Astros wore pullovers. No doubt that top button would have been undone if it were there. 5 points -trademark fist pump strikeout celebration 7 points - trademark warmup (running to the mound like a wild animal)

He can do Rutgers football and basketball until he's blue in the face. He will not be the partner....But he may bargain for pre or postgame stuff Why would he leave SNY pre and post to do WOR pre and post?

The Immortal Chris Majkowski will be making his way to WOR. The streak goes on.

Cox and Glavine will have Atlanta caps on their plaques. Torre a Yankee, Thomas a White Sock. 11 full years as a Brave, 8 full seasons but parts of 10 with the Cubs. But yeah, I would have thought he'd go in as a Brave.

Yeah, I still think the Reds could put it all together one of these years. Maybe now that Dusty is gone?

The Reds at 15-1 and the Bay Area teams at 17-1 are intriguing to me.

Siena?

74.8%??????? So the difference for him is literally 1 or 2 votes?

Ian "Jeter...Jeter...Jeter" O'Connor is tweeting the 14 people he'd vote for A) If he had a ballot, and if voters could vote for more than 10. Bagwell, Biggio, Bonds, Clemens, Maddux, Morris, Piazza, Raines, Schilling and Thomas + Glavine, Kent, Mussina and Smith. Pretty sure he does have a ballot: Listed in alphabetical order, here are the 17 ESPN voters who submitted ballots: Howard Bryant, Jim Caple, Jerry Crasnick, Gordon Edes, Pedro Gomez, Dan Graziano, Michael Knisley, Tim Kurkjian, Wallace Matthews, Ian O'Connor, Buster Olney, Peter Pascarelli, Brendan Roberts, Adam Rubin, Mark Saxon, Barry Stanton and Jayson Stark. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10231471/craig-biggio-tom-glavine-greg-maddux-frank-thomas-elected-espn-2014-baseball-hall-fame-ballot

I was unlucky enough to be gifted field level seats for the final Friday night regular season games at Shea in 2007 and 2008. Needing wins, Ollie and Pelf came up small. It was just awful staring up at the out of town scoreboard, seeing the Phillies ahead, and knowing full well that there was no way the Mets were coming back either night. In the "could have been bad, but really wasn't" department was a game from May 2006. My then 6year old daughter was starting to get into the Mets, and loved Reyes, so I got her tickets through the fan club for kids. The seats weren't terrible, upper deck infield and the section was sparsely filled. The crowd around us was quiet for the most part, but the Mets were playing the Pirates, and Jeromy Burnitz was in the outfield for the Buccos. Every time he got to bat, one fan had it in for him, screaming at the top of his lungs. The clever fellow termed Jeromy "Bum-nitz" and yelled at him throughout his ABs. "Bumnitz you stink...you're terrible Bumnitz..." you get the idea. But then when the AB ended, you never heard from the guy again, until his next AB. My daughter kind of looked at him and looked at me and during his thrid at bat as the guy just kept losing it, she says to me, "boy, he really doesn't like that guy Bum-nitz."

I always wondered why it said "A's" with the apostrophe on the Athletics caps.

Quickly confused by me with Reid Ryan, progeny of Nolan.

Chris Berman will be even more insufferable than usual tonight. That guy thought he was one of DeBartolo's right hand men in the 80s and 90s.
