@miles_commodore I was 3 or 4. It was the first major news event that I can remember.

@WildKat1967 @YungGiamatti Ha! I used to work there when I was 13! Myself and several of my friends were hired (under the table) as pin setters for miniature bowling.

@BBGreatMoments That’s kind of a LaDick move.

[Aaron Ploetz @APloetz]

@chriswitmer95 @silverindow Probably a wash, because that’s pretty much what Chipotle charges.

For those who don’t know, Janesville is 60 miles away from Milwaukee. Did that commute for 2 years.

[Aaron Ploetz @APloetz]

My wife and I did this. Graduated college in 98; made $70k between the two of us. Worked in Milwaukee, but couldn’t afford a house there or in Madison. Bought a great starter house in Janesville, WI. I commuted until I got a job with Grainger.

The woe is me comments are pretty disappointing.

Cheap housing, high paying jobs, a great place to live. Pick any two.

Boomers and Gen X moved an hour away from our jobs bc we couldn’t afford the ones near the jobs either.

There are < $200k houses all over America. You can still do this.

It seems people today would rather complain than solve their problem. 🙄

@Dragonflynda @MichaelGrahamSC Samsung used to be a solid brand. Obviously they relied on that.

@notbobkoz @Mike76852044524 Now that’s AAA. Imagine going from A ball to the Majors. That’s why almost nobody makes that leap.

[Aaron Ploetz @APloetz]

@notbobkoz @Mike76852044524 100%

I’ve been to a lot of minor league games at all different levels, but I finally made it to my first AAA game last year in Vegas.

I was shocked at how low the level of play is. I mean, it’s just one level from the Majors, so they must be close, right?

Wrong. Night &amp; day.

@unifiedprolife No one from Japan had ever tried to tell me that I’m living wrong.

@TonyLiebert F easily; Lake Minnewawa is the hidden gem here.

@tengusan09 @Super70sSports Came here for this gif. Not disappointed.

[Aaron Ploetz @APloetz]

@Amuk31 @JimHendley4NC I can hear this. 🤣

[Aaron Ploetz @APloetz]

@KlausJennings @WomanDefiner “Twin Cities weirdos”

I 100% understand this.

[Aaron Ploetz @APloetz]

@WomanDefiner Been seeing this around our lake (Lake Minnewawa) in Aitkin County MN for a couple of years now. Lots of boats, jet skis, trucks, and snowmobiles for sale. So much for sale.

@aakashgupta The 80s were wild. Atari was selling games written by one guy making $19k/year for $30. (Image courtesy of Super70sSports)

@For_Film_Fans Taylor Sheridan is an absolute genius.

@likestogolf18 @dekker Bauers throws lefty, so that’s not going to happen. Vaughn has played some 3b before, but it’s been a while.

[Aaron Ploetz @APloetz]

@MShadows17 They did the same thing with Anthony Seigler last year. No matter how bad he was, they just kept playing him.

I know Rengifo is under contract, and they’d have to eat $3.5 mil. But enough is enough. Especially when we have guys at AAA who deserve a shot.
