Ok, last one. We gotta save the champagne photos for later celebrations.
I would apologize for all the pictures I am about to post, but I am not necessarily sorry, so.

Also, Ankiel would have made that play at home. I’m just sayin’.

That’s just depressing. Cubs, you can go ahead and have your win tonight. It’s ok with me. |
No muss, no fuss, no drama—and no longer much debate about who is the best player in baseball. For much of the decade, the debate focused on Rodriguez and Barry Bonds.

Those Hall of Fame numbers (by age 29) define him only slightly more than his all-around pursuit of excellence.
Today’s Magic Number: Ozzie Smith
Probably safe to say the reason most of us watched/played/dreamed baseball when we were kids.
