@notgaetti @baseball_ref @JessicaDBrand @orwellian @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @BigLeagueDigest @OleTimeHardball @mroctober @BaseballBros @TheBsblr Also the father of 2-time LLWS champ, 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist and major leaguer Sean Burroughs.

Not enough people talk about Jeff Burroughs • .261/.355/.439 (.795 OPS), 121 OPS+ • 1443 H, 240 HR, 882 RBI, 831 BB • 2x AS (1974 w/TEX, 1978 w/ATL) • 1974 AL MVP with the Rangers • Debuted with the Senators • (He was just 19 years old) • Had some monster seasons: • 1974: 25 HR, 118 RBI, 162 OPS+ • 1977: 41 HR, massive for the 1970s • 1978: led MLB with 117 BB, .432 OBP • Earned 1 HOF vote (432 ballots) in 1991 • Top B-R Similarity Score: John Mayberry • During a six-year peak from 1973-78, Burroughs was 1 of 8 players with at least 150 HR and an .800 OPS, and the rest of the list is completely insane

True story… 👇

@notgaetti @baseball_ref @DOBrienATL @grantmcauley @BravesStats @mikepiazza31 @RealCJ10 @CodifyBaseball @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand The Cerone note… 😂

Not enough people talk about Bob Horner • .277/.340/.499 (.839 OPS), 127 OPS+ • Drafted 1st overall in '78 from ASU • Won ROY that same year, age 20 • (Skipped the minors altogether) • Had 218 HR, 685 RBI, 21.9 WAR • Never struck out more than 75x • Hit 20+ homers 7x in 9 seasons • Got MVP votes 3x, 1982 All-Star • Averaged 35 HR, 109 RBI per 162 • Top B-R Similarity Score: Al Rosen • Unfortunately, couldn't stay healthy • Hit 6 bombs off Fernando Valenzuela • Hit 4 homers in a game his team LOST • Possible HOF'er w/ better conditioning • Got 0 votes on his only HOF ballot in '94 • Spent 1987 in Japan and really went nuts: • .327 BA, 31 HR, 73 RBI, 1.106 OPS in 93 GP • Never had a 3-HR game, only a 4-HR game • Gave up #5 to Rick Cerone, for some reason • College Baseball HOF inaugural class of 2006 • During the years of his career (1978-1988), Bob Horner had by far the most home runs of any player with fewer than 4000 AB

@DoughertyDrew You? Zero.

@DoughertyDrew I’ll set it at 5.5. 👔

Headed to a wedding. What’s the over/under on how many times I’ll hear “You clean up nice!”?

🔥

God Bless Texas.

Interesting # to remember: 30. When Woody Marks has rushed for 30 yds or more in a game (including last week’s playoff game), the Texans are 11-0.

What a day that was.

If he gets 1.5 sacks, Hunter will tie T.J. Watt for 26th on all-time list.

With his next sack—114.5 for his career—Danielle Hunter will tie J.J. Watt for 27th on all-time list.

Just got this text…and it really makes you think, no?

The long-timers know I can’t help myself when it comes to giving HACK Wilson and JACK Morris the all-caps treatment; it’s so irretrievably dumb, but still cracks me up every time 😆

@notgaetti @baseball_ref @Stathead @Johnsense38 @orwellian @TheWARmonger_ @CodifyBaseball @YankeeLibrarian @Sweendog9 @LennyHarris Favorite part of this: HACK in all caps.

Not enough people talk about Matt Stairs • MLB's premier journeyman pinch-hitter • 265 HR, .832 OPS, 19 MLB seasons • 2008 WS Champ with Philadelphia • Only had 500+ AB 2x, but raked! • Built like a modern HACK Wilson • Played for 12 teams (most ever) • Hit 23 pinch-hit HR (most ever) • Canadian and coaches hockey • Higher OPS as PH than starter • In the Canadian Baseball HOF • Iconic HR in the 2008 NLCS • 1 of 2 players in MLB history with at least 20 pinch-hit home runs (along with PH specialist Cliff Johnson); Stairs's mark of 23 pinch-dingers represents an unbreakable record in the age of the Universal DH

@jpshadrick @ChaseGoodbread A life fulfilled

@ChaseGoodbread Halftime show was Steve Winwood and Lorrie Morgan. Highlight of the game. Left at end 3Q and walked to Chili’s in the sleet

This one's on its way to being Alabama's worst loss since a 38-7 loss to Virginia Tech in the 1998 Music City Bowl. Andrew Zow threw three picks and the Hokies held Shaun Alexander to 21-55 rushing.

@StephStradley @drewshirleylaw

@drewshirleylaw * Colts lost

What a perfect day for #Texans! I had a delightful time. Thanks to all y’all who made it cool. Made babies smile, got loud with the kids, danced with strangers, saw some delightful football. Like being in a fun movie. Needed it. Gonna keep practicing for the playoffs. LFGY 😎🙌

Also the best Texans uni/helmet combo of all time.

@ccole1975 Maybe. Maybe not.

@DoughertyDrew Is that Alice Cooper dressed as Santa?

Merry Christmas. 🎅🏻
