Based on his statistics and achievements, would Jose Canseco be in the Hall of Fame if not for his open and notorious use of anabolic steroids?

"Ride Captain Ride" (1970) tells of a crew inviting others to sail to a new land and be free, but no one answers the call. They leave without them and are never seen again. This was the band's only major hit. Do you remember the band, or just the song? x.com/calmalgodown/s…

This is supposed to be one of the hardest problems ever to solve. Is it? Or isn’t it?

@notgaetti Bill James had him number one and I tend to agree. He was the top 2B in the NL 8 straight years in the 70s. He’s definitely at least top 2 along with Hornsby.

I think Morgan > Sandberg is a mainstream take Morgan was an OBP machine before it was cool, had tremendous power for his size, stole 689 (!!!) bases, was a great defender, and won 2 MVPs and 2 World Series. Forget being ahead of Sandberg; Morgan is perhaps top-2 of all time!!

@uscfan981 If anything, the Chicken Man is underrated. My choice would be Nolan Ryan. He’s a deserving HOFer but so many call him the greatest pitcher of all time and he’s not in the top 10.

"Still the One" (1976) was a rare love song for its time, about lasting love instead of heartbreak. It became the group's biggest hit. Did this one hold up for you over the years? Will you listen or skit it? Name the band. x.com/calmalgodown/s…

"Lowdown" (1976) sounded so good that several of the musicians who played on it later started the band Toto. It also won a Grammy for Best R&B Song. When this comes on, do you let it play or skip it? Name the artist.

Released in 1972, this cheeky, unforgettable hit has kept listeners guessing for decades about who exactly inspired those iconic lyrics. Do you know who Carly Simon was singing about?

You’ll never convince me that Devil Rays-era Wade Boggs wasn’t absolutely one of the most badass-looking ballplayers of all time

Name an MLB player from the 90s who was absolutely elite… but somehow gets almost no love today. 🤔⚾ Not the obvious legends — I’m talking about the guys who dominated their era and then quietly faded from the conversation. Who’s your pick?

@TheSports_Shift Jose "Coco" Laboy. Runnerup for ROY in the Expos inagural season and his 1970 card is one of my favorites ever.

@notgaetti I’d agree; but when you look at the production of the lineup and consider the attention on them was being dwarfed by the HR exploits of McGwire/Sosa/Junior - it’s like they were hiding in plain sight all year.

This was the greatest team ever, or certainly at least the greatest of my lifetime Bernie Williams won the batting title Lots of fantastic hitters, great elder statesmen in Chili Davis, Tim Raines, and Darryl Strawberry; ace pitching, solid clubhouse guys They were inevitable

So now it’s clear the Ravens dumped the Crosby deal to sign Hendrickson. That’s a seriously unethical franchise. Can’t believe the NFL will let them get away with crap like that.
