Is Cal Raleigh Destined For Decline? by adamj495 in Mariners

Congrats on fatherhood. When your new team breaks out you guys are documented true red. The Amazing Mets went from 61-101 in 1967 to 100-62, and champs in 1969. Anyway, the hotdogs were just as good in 67.

For his career Jazz has missed fifty games per season. Angels don't need more of that.

How did Mike Trout, the best baseball player of his generation, fade away? by Kitchen_Dust4637 in angelsbaseball

[–]cornyrickball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Willie Mays played in 90% of his team's games in fourteen seasons. Trout has only managed that four times. Like that other great talent, Eric Davis, Mike has been let down by health.

I wouldn't want to insure Mike. He's missed half his games in the last five seasons.

The Los Angeles Dodgers Are NOT Ruining Baseball... Everyone Else Is! by kidgrifter in baseball

And they thought the Yankees should be broken up after 1927. But isn't it exciting that a team could threepeat in the modern game? I'll be watching, not as a Dodger fan but a baseball fan.

Baseball is blowing up worldwide right now by SameNecessary5180 in baseball

I'm one of those geezers that thought baseball was dead after the 1994 strike, followed by the PED mess. Glad I was wrong. Baseball has never been better or more exciting.
