@notgaetti How do you define “before”? He’s lied every single time about it.
@cammillerfilms @Nike Reds celebrated their 150th in 2019 that still means established in 1869
Are you 6 years old? The best hitter of the 21st century is Aaron Judge
When JD Vance becomes President, he’d likely be the first Appalachian to hold the office. He also perfectly embodies Southwest Ohio. Kentucky blood, relatives in Middletown, but lives in Cincinnati. That’s the background of half the people I grew up with in Price Hill. Let’s just hope the White House chef knows how to cook Skyline Chili.
@notgaetti @TL561153 @OleTimeHardball @baseball_ref @Stathead You realize Trout is a top 30 player of all time and Griffey isn’t right? Make up stats all you want but Trout will go down as a better player historically by 99% of the people that watch baseball.
14 years in the league, under 2,000 hits, under 400 HRs, never healthy, hit .200 in his only World Series, so on and so forth.
Mike Trout saw what that RF/DH adjustment did to his WAR and immediately bolted back to CF. Tough luck for Bryce Teodosio, one of the best defensive CF in the game, he's so much fun to watch.
If you asked me to choose a single acting performance that explains why the world is the way that it is I would choose this. RIP Robert Duvall, one of the most complex and ingenious actors of the New Hollywood.
@elliottswrstlin Tbf I think this is true pre-neck injury, not so much in ring following it. Mid 90s Austin produced some absolute bangers with Steamboat for instance.
