@HowieRose Me too Howie.

@BobKlap Very well said by someone I remember from his pitching and writing at Columbia.

@notgaetti I have a serious question. If we have to discount MLB stats pre-1947 because the competition was inferior due to segregation doesn’t that mean that we also have to discount Negro League stats for the same reason?

@SterlingHartne2 @samhusseini If we were a democracy Trump never would’ve been president since he lost the popular vote both times.

@nut_history I got to attend a couple of Mets games at the Polo Grounds. For me it would have to be Ebbets Field, a 10 minute subway ride.

@CalltoActivism God bless your wife. I have been in many ERs in my life, both as a patient and as a family member, to know what heroes nurses are. Continue to take good care of her.

@nut_history Tom Seaver

[Christopher Wright @ctmwright]

@Miller16Rob @WesClements22 Sure Ryan had other worldly stuff but if I were putting a team together and had to pick between the two I’d pick Seaver and not even give it a second thought. And I saw both of them for their entire careers.

@BillyM2k @jamespp2 Former Judge Michael Luttig was a Republican, was appointed by a Republican, and widely regarded as one of the most conservative judges in the country. He agrees 100% with the Colorado court.

@MosheKeller @iZOOM7 Out of everyone who has ever played in the majors only 1.5% are in the HOF. So if Jeter is an average Hall of Famer that places him in the top 0.75% all time. Pretty good company.

[Christopher Wright @ctmwright]

@DLMFanView @dgoold Without a doubt. I have been following baseball since for 60 years and Gibson is certainly in my top 5. I just question your valuation of Ryan. No doubt he was great but IMO he’s not better than most of the pitchers on that list.

[Christopher Wright @ctmwright]

@DLMFanView @dgoold Ryan post season ERA 3.07
Koufax 0.95
Koufax was the best big game pitcher in my lifetime. Better than Gibson.

[Christopher Wright @ctmwright]

@DLMFanView @dgoold You would rather have Ryan start a game 7 than Seaver, Koufax, Pedro, or Randy Johnson? If yes, I think that places you in a distinct minority.

@VannevarB One can only hope that he won’t live that long. Question: let’s suppose Trump is convicted in one or more of the cases against him and he dies a convicted felon. Does he get a state funeral?

@Seth_3773 I love all the people who supposedly love the free market hate it when it works in favor of labor.

@nut_history I believed that the Jets Super Bowl victory in 1969 would be the first of many.

@8Country8 @LqLana It hasn’t always been taught. I graduated HS in 1974 and studied “world history” in 10th grade. What I was taught was European history.
