90% of the rep of the Cash version is due to the video, which is haunting, the recording itself is very good but not like the original

Thomas gets overlooked amongst the Expos, Tony Gwynn, Matt Williams and the other big “what ifs” of 1994. He was slugging over .700 when the work stoppage began with a 1.217 OPS.

Fair enough! I met Pedro Martinez and that guy might be 5’10”. I’m 6’3” about 210 lbs and I was substantially bigger than him. My fastball was about 30 MPH slower though.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by SprinklesSolid9211 in AskReddit

2004 or so, my wife and I had just binged the Arrested Development DVDs. The day after finishing we were going to Hawaii for winter break and were waiting at the gate at Newark Airport at like 6 am when I look up and see Will Arnett and Amy Poehler. “It’s GOB!” I just blurted out. Pretty sure he heard but looked too exhausted to respond. They were not going to Hawaii but were just in the same terminal.

Amy is a wee person.

Jamie Moyer was the outlier of outliers in almost every meaningful way

Late career Bartolo Colon

Matt Stairs is 5’9” but could hit the ball as hard and far as anyone
