@ditzkoff Maybe we can time skip to 2024 World Series between the Yankees and the Dodgers.

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@IbelWetz I had to look up trade date and it was August 31 which was the old deadline. When was it moved to July 31st?

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@IbelWetz @JColonDelgado 1980s had the habit of teams over stating young player as next Mantle or Mays etc. And them the player would disappoint.

And we underestimated the stars of 1980s a lot.

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@IbelWetz @JColonDelgado The comparison was immediate Rookie 1986 season and Sierra was the blooming star of young 1986 Rangers.

Sierra had a good track through 1991 but the trade seemed to hurt both teams ridding a 'selfish' player and then both players disappointed.

@IbelWetz 1992 Oakland was leading the division and trading their former MVP even if he was off season.

@IbelWetz @robinhanson There is something purely unique about the 1919 World Series that I endlessly LOVE to read about
1) Do the Reds win WS anyway?
2) What if Red Faber not been hurt?
3) What if MLB acted more against Hal Chase

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@Criminalsimpson It still bothers me:
1) Burns did chose Harry Hooper over Tris Speaker. (HAD Hooper not been been Speaker teammate he plays CF)
2) Gabby Street at Catcher over Bresnahan or Bennett, or Kling

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@Criminalsimpson Maybe my favorite joke of all time

I remember watching in 1992 and getting the Wagner and Lajoie joke IMMEDIATELY while noting Harry Hooper mostly played Rightfield in his career.

And in 1992 I did not know who Jim Cteighton was and that he died literally 130 years before.

@podoffame Magic Johnsonn had an excellent game but Kareem 1980 NBA Championship Game 1 - 5 was incredibly great at carrying the Lakers.

Kareem was like his 1971 self that Series.

@TheCaseFor 1936 New York Yankees by far and like every hitter had .350 OBP+....

If you can believe rookie sensation Joe DiMaggio had the lowest OBP .352 of tge team.

@ReubenR80027912 And what makes Conservative Nationalism so hard to really succeed are
1) Military action hurts your economy a lot
2) Global companies are not nationalist. So you can have big growth in Poland and Argentina that takes decades to reach average families

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@ReubenR80027912 And in 1999 and 200 it was not utopia but it was better than our childhoods in 1970s and early 80s.

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@ReubenR80027912 I still believe Japan Inc. Success was a reason why the US won The Cold War.

Global Capitalism won because Japan was such a success while giving US gas efficient during Oil Embargoes (and an example for others to follow)

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@ReubenR80027912 @Saul_Sadka Does the US trust any Gulf State?

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@ReubenR80027912 And for all the whining on US demographics

We are still having natural increase of 500K population and fertility is still 1.59.

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@ReubenR80027912 -The impact of various Asian- Americans is HUGE here
-While we lament the decline of American military we have remember all militaries are declining. Russian invasion of Ukraine was a complete failure and I bet China has real issues in reality.

[Collin Reid @CREID2852]

@ReubenR80027912 1962?

Try 1958 when these two led the breaking American culture in half.
