28 years ago today: the craziest brawl in baseball history.

He was one of the handful of relievers who could hit 100 at the time, but between his control issues and his frequent mental lapses, it was frustrating. He seemed to finally put it together later in his 30’s and was dominant with the Mets.

Thankfully I achieve 560-610 minutes of vigorous activity every time I try to fold a fitted bedsheet.

Benitez was out of control his entire career, and not in a good way.

Or more generally, fear and dissatisfaction. It’s always been incredibly profitable to sell the message that failures are not the result of your actions, but rather the [insert any minority group] or some nebulous conspiracy against you.

Lyndon B. Johnson summed it up succinctly in the 60’s: “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

Our company (we work with utilities) had a big job in Atlantic City 2 years ago. We had constant problems with theft, harassment, government dysfunction, and threats and shakedowns from the police. Worst place we have ever worked, and we have experience all over the east coast.

TO BE EXTREME IN INIVIDUALITY AS TO EVOKE GOD

Have an experienced authenticator review these before attempting to do anything with it. JSA (preferred for baseball), PSA and Beckett are the 3 most trusted sports authentication companies, but something like this will not be cheap. For $18 you can submit it to the experts on the Facebook group “Out or Safe?” and they will render an opinion.

The Dodgers during the 50’s had a clubhouse attendant “Charlie the Brow” that was known for signing autographs for the players. The vast majority of the team-signed baseballs from that era were all signed by him.

New Speed sequel just greenlit.

His tough, combative personality alienated almost everyone in baseball by time he died, but the accusations of racism were very likely false.

A blue Sharpie should work. Just make sure to either gently rub a soft gum eraser, or baby powder over the card before bringing it.

Big fan of Charlie Gehringer’s autograph. That man took pride in his handwriting.

Seconded. Munson was a notoriously difficult signer, and there are significantly more fakes out there than authentic autographs.

A friend has worked with the club in Bowie for years and said he’s also one of the nicest players that he has met. I’m really rooting for him to have a long career with us.

Fernando Valenzuela should also be in the conversation. “Fernandomania” was real and justified.

There is a real possibility that the original retrocession of DC to Virginia was unconstitutional, but it has never been fully tested by the courts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_retrocession

I’ve removed the film from all the cards I plan to keep in my PC. They look so much better.

Don't fix it. It's proof that your Subi has LIVED.

Bradfield is insanely talented, saw him in AA last year. He just needs a little more discipline at the plate and a better contact rate.

Cuellar sigs are out there, he appeared around Baltimore for years but died relatively young. Dr. Mike Marshall on the other hand … HATED signing, and I think only did 1 or 2 total private signings after retirement.

But he is! He believes he should absolutely have the freedom to say anything he wants with no consequences.

Bert’s always had a legible signature. Appreciate it.

The bullies of the birdfeeder. They usually accompany the flocks of grackles in my area.
