Tron, if this worked out, you would be in bases heaven! All the different teams you could see! Close up seating for everyone at minor league parks. Maybe games would be sold-out fast though? Wish I was retired!

If they allow fans at games, I’d try to hit a game a week. See different teams I normally wouldn’t see.

When Tron mentioned DW in another thread, saw his W-L record and said sounds close to RH's! Lot of stats are, one a HOFer and one not! Guess it helps to finish your career strong then be great early in it and then fan out! Plus RH being true gentleman in the game didn't hurt while the other had many personal issues outside the lines! Not saying DW belongs in the Hall, just saying what the stats show!
 
did Roy's death give him a voting bump?

I tend to look at MVP/CY Young win shares when talking HOF/NO HOF stuff

btw Polaroid is Tacomax for Plommer.

What's your favorite baseball memory? Mine was 1990 Reds (obviously), sweeping the heavily favorite A's in the WS. Eric Davis, Paul O'Neill, Barry Larkin, Sabo, Dibble. Yep! I even went out and bought a tshirt with all of em on there afterwards.
After all those disappointments.

I'm sure nobody else remembers poor German. Was the worst pitcher on the worst team in baseball, which I watched regularly. And he looked it.
Just looked up his stats. Not great 1-5 career. 5.01 era. Guess that was his only year in mlb. But I remember him vividly :hattip: Good effort guru
