@TBoneTidbit@Questionery1@gehrig38 It’s a tough call. I’m glad my dad was a big leaguer, but I didn’t have a dozen or more elementary schools like my older brother. And I know my mom wasn’t thrilled with 39 moves in 14 years.
@SweetG1951@gehrig38 Not just the big leagues. I'd wager that you don't make A ball without putting in the 10,000 hours. I watched my brother put in the hours, and his talent was incredible, as he spent a few years in the minors and moved on to another career.
@AaronLevine_ And I don't fully understand the goal here - are we striving for "average?" I was hoping we'd aim a little higher and not hear that we're almost average. I mean, that's what we saw on the field this year.
@maxeffgen@KallmanJeff I had read of Grandpa saying he wasn’t going to Cleveland without a share of the $50,000. I was unaware that Commissioner Landis was involved. This was all news to me.
@DKramer_ Always remember the Mariners only start winning after we give up all hope. Someone still has hope and it's their fault! When you give it up, they'll get on a run and tease us about post-season, where they'll fall just little short. Every year. Every. Year.
@FreddyLA7@RyanSaavedra Good coverage on the South where football is a religion. I suggest the Northwest where Husky Stadium in Seattle is the most beautiful setting. I hate the Huskies but have to admit the beauty. Autzen Stadium in Eugene is much more intimate and a very fun time (Go Ducks!)
@mattvanswol@NYCMayor Do you have to prove you're a New Yorker (ID check) to get the discounts or can outsiders swoop in and get their groceries subsidized by city taxpayers?
@ChristinaPushaw I totally agree. While I am conservative, I am concerned that the media ecosystem wants to put her in a box and claim her for either side. She said she doesn't want to get political. Leave her alone and let her speak when she wants to.
@Softykjr They seem to hit much better with the bases empty, which indicates a problem between the ears. Not sure how that translates to a whole team but the best way to get them out is to load the bases.
World Cup 2026 has been exactly what the US needed, a patriotic infusion heading into our 250th Celebration!

In reality, America, this is the US.💪🇺🇸🔥
