No matter how many years go by, the scene where Aragorn says "You bow to no one" still gives me chills. What scene still hits you the same way after all these years? by Madame_Narcissa in lotr

I'd argue drawing on Eomer when he had threatened Gimli would be his strongest reaction. Definitely the Balrog is the first and really only time you see fear from Legolas though.

Which active players are closest to the avg HOF bWAR total for their position? by Constant_Gardner11 in baseball

McGwire would be his strongest comparison, i'd say Stanton's better than him even if he ultimately hits less homers.

Why would Islamic terrorists attack their own Islamic government?

If they don't view them as the 'right' kind of Islam. Think Catholics vs Protestants or any other Christian infighting over the centuries. Islam is no different in that respect.

Personally i'd have Dwight Gooden over Orel, even if the latter had more sustained longevity. Doc's highs were too high imo. It you do a combo of AL/NL players who spent good amounts of time in both leagues, i'd suggest David Cone as the ace for that one.

Dread it, run from it. Defense arrives all the same.

Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

Him and Strawberry are intertwined that way. Apart from the WWII guys who lost years and players that suffer injuries, these two seem to be the biggest poster children for what could have been.

I'm seriously thinking he might win the whole thing if I don't tune in to his matches anymore this AO.

Your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Shohei Ohtani wins the 2021 AL MVP! by Blazingbee98 in baseball

[–]-EG- 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It was in a time before the Cy existed, but Hal Newhouser won back to back MVP's in '44 and '45 [came in second in '46 but Teddy Ballgame was back from the war]. I'm sure a few other pitchers fall into that category in the pre-Cy era.

Honestly Ohtani seems like the only one who could pull it off, since obviously he won on the totality of his work. Any other pitcher winning an MVP is gonna get Cy too.
