"Satchel Paige had a very, very good fastball... but the first time I faced Satchel, he threw me a little breaking ball, just to see what I could do, and I hit it off the top of the fence. I got a double. When I got to second, Satchel told the third baseman, 'Let me know when that little boy comes back up.'
Three innings later, I go to kneel down in the on-deck circle, and I hear the third baseman say, 'There he is.'
Satch looked at the third baseman, and then he looked at me. I walk halfway to home plate and he says, 'Little boy.'
I say, 'Yes, sir?' because Satch was much older than I am, so I was trying to show respect.
He walked halfway to home plate and said, 'Little boy, I'm not going to trick you. I'm going to throw you three fastballs and you're going to go sit down' and I'm saying in my mind, 'I DOOON'T THINK SOOO. If he threw me three of the same pitch, I'm going to hit it somewhere. I turned to the catcher and asked, “What does he mean?” Catcher told me, “He’s going to throw you three fast balls. Nothing else.”
He threw me two fastballs and I just swung...I swung right through it.. and the third ball he threw, and I tell people this all the time, he threw the ball and as he let go he said, 'Go sit down.'
This is while the ball was in the air. Yes, he struck me out with three pitches.
He was just magnificent."

It is telling that the Iranian regime is asking Putin for help in dealing with the US. The Iranians will never agree to end enrichment in nuclear production. An Iran deal would be nothing more than Obama 2.0

As the NBA playoffs are set to begin, did you know that Michael Jordan still holds these playoffs records: 👀
Most points scored in a single game, with 63 PTS
Most 50-point games, with 8 games
Most 40-point games, with 38 games
All this while staying efficient and playing elite on both sides of the basketball, that's my GOAT. 🐐
@PE_Dahl@BryanTweed16@joe3jax I think we all need to settle down a bit about Scheffler "falling off". He won 4x last year AFTER his kid was born, arguably during the toughest time of being a new parent. He didn't 3-peat and finished 4th. Oh well, ask Rory how hard it was to 1-peat.
If we are talking about the best & most productive career, it's Jack #1. That being said, NOBODY was as dominant as Tiger was, and if he hadn't gotten hurt, as much as I say you can't hang your hat on hypothetical hooks, he would have surpassed Jack. At his prime, Tiger was winning 1 out of every 3 tournaments he entered & would be a -150 outright favorite at the books. That's stupid good.
