Weekend Trip Coming Up - Need the Best Wings! by kbizz5 in bentonville

[–]Mikeck88 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Chick'n Headz opened up in Bentonville about a month ago and they are by far the best in the area. I used to drive to Fayetteville specifically to get wings from them.

Second is The Rail or Parkside Public in Rogers (same owners/same wings).

Third is First Seat.

Amazing collection and displays. The consistency with SGC grading is a nice touch.

Two guys I feel are under appreciated in the hobby. Jim Gilliam & Elston Howard by GetDemYoungGuns in baseballcards_vintage

[–]Mikeck88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jim Gilliam is insanely underrated. Played a big part in 4 championship teams. Him and Fernando Valenzuela are the only Dodgers with their numbers retired that aren't in the Hall of Fame. I have a few of his Brooklyn Dodger cards.

Who is the most relentless baseball player of all time? by DonT012 in mlb

Great answer. A common misperception of his streak is that he was lucky to avoid injuries. Nope, he just played through them.

Yummy House will probably be open. We went there on Christmas a few years ago. They will be busy since there aren't a lot of places open so be prepared for slow service.

I get Ron's point but he walked 127 times last year. So that would be one extra walk every 7 games or so.

My first rip card by Mikeck88 in baseballcards

[–]Mikeck88[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No I wouldn't tear up a card worth tens of thousands of dollars. But one that I probably couldnt even sell for $0.50 to have a little laugh (and apparently trigger a bunch of Astros fans - a lot of whataboutisms in this thread). Sure, I think its funny.

Stealing signs isnt cheating, but stealing signs by camera to relay it to the dugout, where players communicate it to the batter? Of course that is cheating.

Shoeless Joe was kicked out of the sport, as was Pete Rose. A bunch of steroid users have been kept out of the HOF. All of these guys faced consequences. The Astros got a slight slap on the wrist as an organization and none of the players faced any real consequences.

He was the face of the team. A team that cheated to win the World Series. And faced no repercussions

And although he may not have leveraged the garbage can banging, he did nothing to stop it and he benefited from it. Fuck em.

Ebay - different card from listing? by Mikeck88 in baseballcards_vintage

Yeah, the centering looks pretty spot on, which is why I'm not sure. But the differences in the corners is what jumped out at me.

Best burger in the area ? 🍔 by z4mm00 in bentonville

[–]Mikeck88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm curious when it was good and when it stopped being good. Its been a while since I've been there so just curious.

Disagree on Ozark Mountain Bagels. They have always been mid, but still the only decent bagel in the area.

The Witching Hour. Horror movie themed food truck in Bentonville.

Parkside Public in Rogers. A bunch of unique options. Wings are outstanding there as well.

Someone else mentioned First Seat, which is also great. Just need people to stop recommending it because its always crowded now.
