    this. the Maxwell is only 2 years younger than the Heisman and is just as valid as a "player of the year award".

    Most wins in relief in a season AL. Roy Face owns MLB record at 18.

    yeah but John Hiller made it. what American League record does John Hiller still hold?

    and Pat Corrales also managed Fergie Jenkins on the Rangers. so that's all I have to say about that...

    yeah, he played on some not so good teams I'm sure, between the cubs and rangers. from things I didn't know/remember department... while researching Fergie and Rangers I checked on the 77 team that won 94 games and had a major league record 4 managers in one season. the wiki page for that team mentioned Danny Thompson the SS on the 76 team(after being traded from the twins) died of leukemia in Dec 76 before the 77 season. I remember his 1976 Topps Twins card but didn't remember a 77 card. Apparently Topps had a Rangers 77 card ready to go but was pulled after he died. strange on cards after a player dies - Clemente had a 73 card but Munson and Thompson don't have 1980 or 1977 card. same thing would happen after a retirement(no card) so you rarely have a standard issue player card with a player's complete career stats. Edit: and to full circle this the 1973 Pat Corrales card has HOF Fergie Jenkins sliding in to home.

    softball is interesting in that it is probably the only sport in the NCAA where one player can likely guarantee you a final four type shot at a championship. Women's basketball might be next but still isn't close to softball because the pitcher can play almost every game. Tech just has to make the tournament and pitch Canady every game. even in basketball you can work to take away a player. I'm not advocating for it but softball might be more interesting if there was a series/weekend pitch count or NCAA pitch count.

    didn't realize spitz was from California. that would be a good one. Bruce/Caitlyn would be hilariously appropriate.

    while using the googles I saw this. he died in 2017 but last line was interesting. "Adolph Kiefer, the 100-meter backstroke champion at the 1936 Berlin Games who was America’s oldest living Olympic gold medalist in any sport, has died. He was 98. He died Friday at his home in Wadsworth, Illinois, about 50 miles north of Chicago, according to grandson Robin Kiefer. Kiefer had been hospitalized with pneumonia in recent months. He had neuropathy that kept him confined to a wheelchair later in life, but he continued swimming because he could still stand in the water, Robin Kiefer said. Kiefer became an Olympic champion as a 17-year-old in an Olympic-record time that stood for 20 years. He was also the first man to break 1 minute in the 100 backstroke, doing so as a high school swimmer in Illinois. He later competed for the University of Texas."

    It should be Lewis, but my bet would be Louganis... Phelps will get it the next time it is in US. Edit: wonder how Ueberroth is doing. He will be 90 by then. Joan Benoit would be certainly one to bring it in but maybe not light it.

    even the NBA thought about offering a "last 5 minutes of any game" package

    I think Smith beat him but they wouldn't overturn it. one call from being bases loaded no outs.
  13. dcar00
    fuck the yankees...

    YES that's it! OMG she raped me in my HS locker room. I had totally forgotten about that. and that was exactly the the point. she wasted a roster spot.

    of course they bank that in. even if it was a 2. thank god we don't have to worry about getting Tarausi her 7th gold next time.

    general game awareness is not our strong suit.
  17. dcar00

    France is WWEing this up but it is really hard to watch US ball handling.

    speaking of 3 home run games, in 1938 Merv Connors hit 3 HR's in a game for the White Sox. His career HR total.....8.
  22. dcar00
    Gymnastics and Figure Skating...they might as well be WWE.

    OJ on the call, do you still get to put tape down like Lewis is doing in the video?
  24. dcar00
    well at least they didn't disappoint us actually win the thing. fucking idiots, the lot of them.

    Is it a requirement for every women's long jumper to do the crowd clap thing?
