@mattyg531 @la_dorkout Cancer.

@la_dorkout My apologies 4 not knowing the answer but what health issues is going on with Mr Steiner?

It warmed my heart to hear Charley Steiner calling play by play with Rick Monday at the beginning of tonight's Dodger radio broadcast. Charley's been battling health problems for a couple years and is probably not up for the "full 9" yet, but he sounded energetic and sharp. 👏👊

@awfulannouncing How many seasons with SF is Bonds NOT in the team picture. He couldn’t be bothered to take a few minutes to be in the team photo. Someone run what Bonds said about beings great teammate on the field by Andy Van Slyke for his thoughts on that.

Barry Bonds: "I may not have talked to anybody off the field. That was just me. Alright? But on that field, I was probably the best teammate you would ever have. I took more walks for my team. Got on base for my team. And that's what baseball is about..."

@Lippo_Panini What is the word he uses to describe Howard Cosell? Can’t quite make it out.

John describing himself as great but Paul as “extraordinary”. Also love that he gave everyone one syllable but Paul gets 3

@Jimfrombaseball Didn't DiMaggio hold a grudge against pretty much everybody until the day he died? Sadly, it sure seems that way.

"I hit seven home runs in 4 consecutive games. That was quite a feat and it's a record today." A MLB rookie at almost 26, he was further shortchanged by being on horrible Athletics team's in the 1950's. Didn't make the 1951 All-Star Team despite 33 Home Runs and 129 RBIs: Won the Home Run/RBI crown in 1951. All-Star in '53." Gus "Ozark Ike" Zernial. Nicknamed "Ozark Ike" after the popular comic strip character, Zernial was one of the most feared sluggers in the 1950's, joining HOF Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Larry Doby in the American League for most home runs in the decade. In 1949, a starlet by the name of Marilyn Monroe came to do a pictorial with the White Sox. "Marilyn was such a nice girl. She asked a bunch of questions about baseball, she was really interested in the game." Gus Zernial was chosen to pose with rising star Monroe in a movie-studio publicity shot. Joe DiMaggio was so struck by Marilyn in the photo's, and DiMaggio asked the rival outfielder how to reach Marilyn. When Joe DiMaggio started dating Monroe years later, they asked him about Marilyn and Gus, and the Yankee Clipper made a disparaging remark about Zernial, that: “Marilyn would never date a bush leaguer like Zernial.” For some reason known only to Joe DiMaggio, he held a grudge against Gus Zernial until the day DiMaggio died.

@upliftandlift @Ch_JesusChrist @ldscharities She wasn’t “demoted”. The entire RS General Presidency was released after 5 years of service, which is normal. You’re either intentionally misleading or ignorant of that fact. We are commanded by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to love everyone. Period. Full stop.

🚨 UPDATE: Look at the DAMAGE one woman has caused! Sharon Eubank is one of the most devastating mistakes the @Ch_JesusChrist has ever made in leadership. Sharon was demoted from RS 1st Counselor to Director of @ldscharities after This BYU Conference queer stint 👇🏼, but she should have been publicly corrected, righted herself, or subject to ex-communication. Bottom line: Sharon has proved to be a wolf in sheep's clothing— an anti-Christ.

@sbanda13 @Super70sSports Dr. J. did that dunk 6-8 years before MJ did.

@Super70sSports This is the greatest move ever. Me and my friends tried to copy. And then some dude named Jordan said hold my beer.

The greatest layup in basketball history. If you disagree with this, I’m gonna need to see video.

@FatPastor @BBGreatMoments Didn’t they say it was like playing on concrete?

@TimScoreCFP @BBGreatMoments You’re probably right. The Vet took years off his career.

Name an athlete you truly believe still had elite years left in the tank when they retired.

@SasakiJordan @BBGreatMoments Agree with your first 3, but Lincecum?? His combined war over his last 5 seasons was -4.6. His only positive WAR year in his last 5 was a whopping WAR of 0.3. Lincecum had 2 great years, in the 2nd and 3rd year of his career. Then 2 decent ones, and then nothing for the last 5.

@BBGreatMoments Sandy Koufax Kirby Puckett Barry Sanders Tim Lincecum

@FatPastor @BBGreatMoments He was never going to get to 600 HR’s. His last two seasons were not good. At the pace he was at, he would have needed 6 more seasons to get to 600. All-time great, but he was done when he retired.

@BBGreatMoments Mike Schmidt could have hit 600 home runs and gotten on base a few more years as a DH, especially in a natural grass park. Glad he didn’t.

@scovell222 @BBGreatMoments We better define “elite.” He pitched until he was 42. His last 5 seasons he only had one year where his ERA was below 4.00. His last few MLB seasons were not elite; no way 3 more years to age 45 would have somehow been elite. He had nothing left in the tank when he retired.

@BBGreatMoments Greg Maddux is the only post-WWII HOF pitcher I can think of who had more than three legitimate elite seasons left in the tank (leaving aside guys like Koufax who had injury or early-onset arthritis issues). Among HOF hitters, obvious answer (retired too early) is Alex Rodriguez.

@bmariner @KelvinBrewer Just saw the news. That’s great!

@bmariner @KelvinBrewer What did I miss? Why is everyone talking Sunday School today?

Everyone talking Sunday School today, but this clarification might be even more polarizing. Notice what’s absent from the covenant? (It was never there in the first place)

@Super70sSports Eddie Lee and Ivery

Random Chris Berman nickname thread. Bring it strong. I’ll start us off with the immortal Oddibe “Young Again” McDowell.

@jlsportstv1 @nut_history And Vin was a lefty also.

@nut_history Scully Koufax Valenzuela Kershaw Three lefties and the greatest broadcaster in any sport at any time.

Who's on the Mount Rushmore for the LA Dodgers - no Brooklyn Dodgers stats included in your decision.

@wtfpeople215 @OleTimeHardball Maybe he would have hit .450 for the WS with max effort. Maybe several flyballs he let up on so they fell for hits, where he could have caught them? Maybe he simply forgot they handed him $5,000 and promised him another $15,000. It has nothing to do with him being illiterate.

@TimScoreCFP @OleTimeHardball All ccounts say he was an ignorant country boy who couldn't read or write. Do you think he really had an idea what the money was for? If he did, why did he hit so well and not commit an error in the series?

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case for Shoeless Joe Jackson. Does he get in?

@JPL0575 @OleTimeHardball A year later, in late 1920, the players signed confessions when they appeared before the grand jury. Amazingly, when they went to trial, the signed confessions had disappeared from the DA's office. Supposedly Comiskey took care of that- he didn't want his ballclub ruined.

@TimScoreCFP @OleTimeHardball I’ve read in books there was a paper signed, and it disappeared. He was also acquitted in 1921 of the throwing the series. We can disagree on it, thanks for being civil in voicing your disagreement.

@wtfpeople215 @OleTimeHardball Except he accepted $5,000 from the gamblers to help throw the WS. So there's that.

@OleTimeHardball Yes. The story told is that Joe had no idea what his teammates were doing, and didn't know he should have turned them in.

@HarryStarkPhD @OleTimeHardball He did accept $5,000 (out of a promised $20,000) to be in on the fix. And you're right- he knew there were 7 teammates in on the fix also.

@OleTimeHardball Sadly, no. He knew the games were fixed (even if he didn't throw the games himself).

@S_R_Ellison @OleTimeHardball The $5,000 he got paid for throwing it, plus his knowledge that 7 of his teammates were in on it also would suggest he did have something to do with the Black Sox scandal. He does not deserve to be in.

@OleTimeHardball I'd vote him in. Personally, I think he had nothing to do with the Black Sox scandal.

@JPL0575 @OleTimeHardball There was nothing to read. You think crooks put that in writing?? He received $5,000 to throw the WS, and knew that 7 other players were in on it. When he was alive, he shouldn't have been allowed in the HOF even if he bought a ticket.

@OleTimeHardball Yes, because his numbers would’ve been better if he’d not been banned. Also, look at his numbers in that WS and he wasn’t throwing anything. Plus he couldn’t read so he had no idea what he was signing.
