    If you were a ballplayer...

    The most athletic version of me would still be hampered by eyes with two totally different prescriptions leading to a lack of depth perception. So bullpen catcher?

    Angel Hernandez, files racial discrimination suit against MLB

    I would imagine if they could they would have done so by now. I can't think of any reason for the union to want to be tied to him other than 'solidarity'.

    2004 WS Celebration

    I was fighting off the dust during the video but when they announced his kids to throw out the first pitch (which someone here called if I remember) I couldn't hold back. Such a great tribute and show of love from the team.

    The Fenway Park Experience

    One thing that I think keeps getting missed in this thread is there is a significantly different experience for someone who goes to Fenway multiple times a season versus someone who goes once every few (or more ) years. Much like the average fan has a different experience of the team than crazy...

    Rest in Peace, DaveRoberts'Shoes

    Someone said it in the Story thread but it's so weird to not have him around for a diagnosis after an injury like this. Missed is an understatement.

    Which team wins a Front Office / Coaching Baseball Tournament

    That's why I was hesitant to put them in there in the first place. Pujols for the Cards would qualify for example. As for the best roster of FO and Uniformed: C - Jason Varitek (sentimental sure, but who else goes here, Cash?) Maybe Ausmus as the backup? 1B Matt Williams (He's got 13 games...

    Which team wins a Front Office / Coaching Baseball Tournament

    I think Willie may have lost a step or two in the OF, though if you're counting special assistants I'm putting in Pedro and Papi.

    Which team wins a Front Office / Coaching Baseball Tournament

    Not sure why this made me laugh as much as it did, but it got me thinking. With Breslow and Bailey being relatively close to their playing days still - which of the MLB teams would field the best 9? Rules: Must have played at least one game in MLB and more than 10 of their games in the position...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    One thing everyone talking about their banking experience is missing: Rich people have a whole different experience of EVERYTHING than we do. It is completely plausible that banking falls in that. No phone push notices, different procedures for access and verification etc. Apologies if any...
