Los Serpentines look more like Los Bananas to me...

Speaking of...

The last of "The Boys of Summer." I've said it before, but if the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, that'd be my team...

Laugh emoji before it gets pulled!

I thought for sure Darryl Evans would be double digits...

If you hooked up with Alanis, you'd be in that AMC Stubs A-list Unlimited Club before you can say Dave Coulier 🙂

To people who know the history of baseball, sure... But to everybody else, they're just as shiny as the other 25... And there are some parallels...free agency was relatively new to baseball during that time, and the Yankees scouting/farm system wasn't what it had been... Steinbrenner used the system to build a team quickly...just like we (hopefully) have...

😂 That's just awesome!

While I'm positive money is a top consideration, TJD and Kel'el didn't hurt our cause any, I'm sure

Just to he way the game is played nowadays... In the 70s, they used to call Steinbrenner's Yankees the best team money can buy... Doesn't tarnish those 2 World Series trophies one bit...

?

Just to be different 🙂

A Whitey quote... "Down there (New Athens, Illinois), we've got more taverns than grocery stores. I walked in, threw down a bill and said, 'Give everybody a drink.' Nice gesture I thought, but down the bar somebody yelled, 'Hey big shot, your brother is still a better ballplayer than you are.'"

One of the "Boys of Summer" (great book, btw) Carl Erskine or "Oisk" as Brooklynites called him died at 97...

Sparky was good...Bobby Cox...Jim Leyland... I like the guys that didn't put up with any players' crap...old school guys...

Passed away at 92 Hate the Cardinals, but for my money he was the best manager I ever saw...

We'll never change each other's minds, but this is the ONLY home run in Mickey Lolich's 16 year career and on the biggest stage... As Harry Caray says at the end of the clip, "that's what makes baseball the fascinating, unpredictable game it is."

Joking...I know it's here to stay... There were some pretty good hitters among pitchers back in the day...Drysdale, Gibson, Earl Wilson... And there was this guy named Ruth...🙂

Oh my! Michael Busch 5 games in a row!

If there was no DH he'd be used to running the bases and wouldn't have been hurt! 😁

19...can't believe Rob Deer cost me so much...

Ah, God I love all dogs, but especially Goldens...I just had to post this...
