@BearsShowYo The fact that the Packers are publicly owned is pretty cool, signed a Bears fan sick of the McCaskeys and a Bulls/Sox fan sick of Reinsdorf.

[Robb McCoy @FatPastor]

@realjonnysamp @BearsShowYo As a Bears fan, I blame Ditka for both. Most overrated coach in football history.

@Andrew_Milner @OleTimeHardball Agreed. I love Schmidt, but Pujols (who doesn’t really fit the overall timeline of tbe group) shifts the balance to the top row.

[Robb McCoy @FatPastor]

@OleTimeHardball I’d take three out of 4 on the bottom row by slim margins, but Pujols is so much better than McGriff, top row wins out.

[Robb McCoy @FatPastor]

@OleTimeHardball Stack three or four and a key could punch them all. At least once with all the players from my team.

[Robb McCoy @FatPastor]

What might be harder is to name a great player whose longest run of good years were with the Expos.
Maybe Vlad Guerrero and Tim Raines. Any others?

@uscfan981 World class universities and research facilities. It feeds the world with soybeans, corn, pumpkins… Miles of beautiful river, Shawnee National Forrest, and more geographical diversity than most realize. Leadership is imperfect but at least not Christian Nationalists.

@KenFarmerTV For years I considered it my favorite book. I read it in high school. Re read it a few years later. Every once in a while I pick it up and read the first chapter for nostalgia. I’m not sure it holds up.

@ChiBearsMuse People naming good players, but from this point on, this grid can be filled only with hall of famers.

[Robb McCoy @FatPastor]

@Chicago_History Hulk Hogan vs Big Boss Man in the steel cage. A few weeks later I was watching WWF Saturday Nights Main Event and the same match in a different venue ended in the exact same way and my childhood ended.

@Chicago_History Jason Kidd with Cal in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

[Robb McCoy @FatPastor]

@ChiBearsMuse For some perspective, if you only include Hall of Famers, that will take up the first five tiers and part of tier 6.

@nut_history At 14 years old,
MLB: Babe Ruth
NHL: Gretzky. He was still active but clearly past Orr.
NBA: Debate between Wilt and Russel was real. Jordan was great but hadn’t won a ring yet.
NFL: Montana or Brown. Montana was active but near the end (or Payton for us Chicagoans.

[Robb McCoy @FatPastor]

@nut_history Good news for Chase Utley. This weak class might help boost him in. Only a couple of borderline guys here.

@casualbigten Memorial Stadium is way too low and Memorial Stadium is so overrated and Memorial Stadium is probably about right.
