I finished tinkering with a biography of a stage great that a whole bunch of us have heard very little about. He had more starts on a Broadway stage than he had for the @mlb Syracuse Stars... Meet Toby Lyons.

@SFGiants Tony Vitello is not the first manager to get the job without professional experience as a player, manager, or coach.

Hugo Bezdek, the only @MLB manager to also be an @NFL head coach, did it more than 100 years ago.

Someone explain to me how the Dolphins are playing on FOX here in SoFla, the NFC network.

We are screwed out another NFC game in the afternoon time slot.

We get stuck watching more stupid Jets and Giants and Dolphins games than anyone should have to endure.

@nut_history No.

[Paul Proia @paulproia]

@GeneSteratore He’s in the end zone. He doesn’t have to make a football move.

[Paul Proia @paulproia]

@BadSportsRefs Dumb.

Caught. In control in the end zone. It’s a TD and no other action (short of some penalty) happens after the play.

[Paul Proia @paulproia]

@Jamesrus42 Wild guess… But he looks like Ed Asner.

@RetroCardSnaps Ryno… My favorite player ever.

[Paul Proia @paulproia]

@ChipLaMarca It’d be great if we had broader development here.

Thanks, sir… Cheers!

@FB_Helmet_Guy Most of the time his game shows were aired in the early evenings for me. That said, the sentiment is the same. Game shows sick days…

[Paul Proia @paulproia]

@nut_history The perfect swing.

George Mundinger was a catcher from New Orleans who got three games with Indianapolis in 1884. The story itself is interesting enough - and someone shared a photo of Mundinger with an early face mask.

@BaseballandLaw @Mets @sabr @IBWAA @TalkinMetsNoG @NL_Town @NYPost_Mets @SNYtv @metsradio880 @BaseballBBQ @MLBcathedrals That’s at least $10K today, right? Maybe a little more?

What does good graphic art today cost? (Very little using some AI tool, I bet.)

[Paul Proia @paulproia]

@nut_history And pitchers don’t even bat anymore…

[Paul Proia @paulproia]

@Jimfrombaseball Who knew Annie played baseball?

[Paul Proia @paulproia]

@nut_history Jordan, Payton, Banks, with Butkus or Mikita fourth…
