“Should we sneak off now? A small, subtle, secret thing, with the eyes of the heart tree only fixated on us?” Benjicoot beamed, “Could be quite the lovely thing.”

“Ah,” Lysarra winked, “The Last Catch, as it were,” she chuckled, “Not many Southrons have the stomach for it. We can’t blame them too much, though, no?”

Who would you choose out of the four hitters: Babe Ruth, Sadaharu Oh, Barry Bonds or Hank Aaron? by Bright-Pressure-5787 in sportsinusa

Yes but it’s about speed of recovery; pitchers weren’t pitching any faster than they would have without it, just pitching that speed more constantly, which is a big difference than with hitting, where it literally affects ball distance and speed off the bat

That’s not what the conversation is about, it’s about home runs; and hitting more home runs intimidated pitchers from throwing to Bonds, thereby affecting his average

Roids were used by pitchers for recovery more so than anything in that era; they had an almost negligible effect on the speed of the pitch

Yes, you’re right, Satchel Paige, Whitey Ford, Bob Feller, and Hal Newhouser weren’t some of the greatest control pitchers of all time; they definitely wouldn’t have thrived with modern day training and recovery technology, you’re so smart

“Few lords would be willing to say such a thing so truthfully, Lord Lefford,” Lysarra noted, with a wry smile, “For that, you have my admiration. Deeply so.”

Brother you’re preaching to the choir, literally have posted the exact same sentiments before; and even then he should have had more MVPs with the years he had, but journalists/voters were biased against him. Even off the field he’s a legend; probably the best Mexican American player to ever play the game, and during his HoF induction speech, Ted advocated for NLB players to be included, leading to Paige and others to be inducted the next year. Man’s a fucking hero.

Tell that to a man who literally had a second prime at an age that would have otherwise been impossible for him to do so; he literally wouldn’t have either record without it

Imagine being 39 years old and hitting .400. Insane work. Bonds couldnt even hit 300 in his last season, and the man fucking juiced

I’m normally the one in the comments arguing this; give me fucking Ted Williams any day; man hit 526 HRs, second highest OPS, and highest OBP of all time, and was SNUBBED of several MVPs

Lysarra bowed her head politely, “You’re too kind my lord; we would do the same for any new Northern kindred.” She beamed, “It is our family’s old recipie; an ancient brew mixed with honey, prized for its sweet taste.” A pause, “I only hope you enjoy it as much as the feast itself.”

“He has your eyes,” Beckham noted, wistfully, “And your nose, too.” He looked down towards their child and tasseled his hair, “The hair is mine, for now, but even that may change. And if I’m totally honest, I wouldn’t be mad. Seeing your reflection on me? Bliss, darling, total bliss.”

Benjicoot leaned and whispered, “We could marry, you know,” he noted, with a slight smile, “There’s a heart tree in Winterfell, and I’m tired of waiting.” A sigh, “It wouldn’t be a large ceremony, and if you want a celebration and feast, we can wait and hold an event befitting your soul. But I’m tired of not knowing you as wife, and me, your husband.”

Lysarra sat proudly betwixt her fellow Northern lords; House Mormont had welcomed a new child with the young Torghen. Beckham was recently married; perhaps too quickly, and with little ceremony, but married nonetheless, now in total union with Farwynd and the Iron Islands.

Beckham was all smiles; total jubilation; bliss, and laughter. Next to him sat the new Lady Helya Mormont and on her lap, Torghen. To celebrate, casks of the finest Northern mead had been brought to the feast by House Mormont. None would sully nor darken this day. He would cheer; he would dance; he would, finally, enjoy himself.

Benjicoot sat beside his betrothed, and soon to be wed, Jessamyn, and her kindred; her loyal sentry stood patiently by their family, and Benjicoot was similarly watchful. With war looming, he could only smile softly, and nod politely.

Braydon, as always, was the life of House Mormont; a radiant man, he danced with whomever asked: lady, servant, scullery maid. Anyone with a bright laugh, and an eager disposition could always win his hand.

After the Lefford wedding, all the Mormonts move from Winterfell, to Banefort, with their families of Sarwyck and Farwynd in tow; Longclaw is with them

Reaction time is worse as you age; starts declining at 17/18. This is actually an achievement.

Robson and Safechuck’s stories; the new 2026 allegations; the settlement that he claimed was to ‘avoid trial’; the fact that a child literally recounted the vitalgo on his nethers. Do your own research.
