I'm not a fan of playing on Good Friday, but that's just me. I'm also not a fan of playing baseball in March. The season should run from April through late September, with playoffs concluded by the third week of October. Baseball in November is crazy.
Joe McEwing to join Senate hopeful Steve Garvey and others (Rick Dempsey) in representing the American Irish Baseball Society at next month's St Patrick's Day parade in NYC (3.16)
College teammate of Pete Alonso and Harrison Bader at UF. For a guy with a cult following, I could never get on board the Vogey bus. In my mind, he was born to be a Milwaukee Brewer.

There's gotta be a late 90s tilt with the Braves that comes close: Some combination of Rickey Henderson--Mike Piazza--Roberto Alomar alongside Chipper Jones--Fred McGriff--Greg Maddux--John Smoltz--Tom Glavine--Bobby Cox. And if Wagner/Beltran/Andruw Jones make it this could be the winner.
