@Jim22Palmer The 71 WS ate at me for decades, not as much as 69, but plenty enough. But then I realized that Clemente and Seaver won those two series, and it makes it a little easier to swallow. Well, maybe not 69. :-)

It appears I lost my head. Easy to do when I think about the last time the O’s wore uni’s like this. 1971…101 wins, 4 -20 game winners, 81 wins,12 shutouts, 70 complete games, the good news. Bad news lost to the Pirates with Roberto Clemente, Steve Blass in a 7 game World Series.

@TheSkippersView Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. I will be putting together a blog and video on this topic. If you would like to see that, click below to subscribe. theskippersview.com/s/deans-blog

The movie "Cobb" starring Tommy Lee Jones might as well be a Marvel film. Almost nothing in it is factual. Here is a thread of all the lies you were told about the great Ty Cobb.

@KevG163 Ace Ventura would agree.

I thought he'd get back there. Hell, we all thought he would. A heartbreaking day for him in Super Bowl XIX, 40 years ago today. But man, what an absolutely epic 1984 season the #Dolphins' Dan Marino had. One for the ages

@WallaceRBever @Jimfrombaseball He would have picked it up and carried it.

@Jimfrombaseball Good thing he wasn't working as a parking valet. Getting this guy's auto to the lot might have been a challenge.

"I thought I was pretty hot stuff" Wilt Chamberlain In 1954, before his senior year of HS, Wilt Chamberlain worked as a bellhop at "Kutsher’s Country Club", a Jewish resort in the Catskill Mountains. By day he was making $2 an hour, getting great tips from the awestruck guests as he lifted their luggage through a second floor window while standing outside on the ground.  At night, he played on the Kutsher’s basketball team, coached hard by the resort’s Athletic Director, Red Auerbach.

@Jimfrombaseball And he ended up being wealthier (?) and more famous than all of them. Good for him.

@JordanOnRecord Dude looks like “Here in my garage….”

NEW: 23 years after her murder, Montgomery Co. police say a suspect has been arrested in the death of Leslie Preer. Eugene Teodor Gligor was taken into custody in D.C. today and will await extradition to Maryland on a charge of first-degree murder. wusa9.com/article/news/c…

@BBGreatMoments KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK A 20-pitch synopsis of what might be the greatest game ever pitched. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I appreciate it.

@GDixon410 Both were spectacular. One was a perfect play; the other was a perfect recovery. Robinson couldn’t have made Machado’s recovery (but Robinson also didn’t need to).

Because it seemed like a fun thing to do, here's Manny's play today and Brooks Robinson's from the 1970 World Series twitpic.com/d1eqvj

The @TexasFootball - @TheSunDevils @CFPGame was an "all-time classic" like the 1972 @Olympics #basketball Gold Medal game was an "all-time classic." #targeting

@EricMacLain I'll play "How Is this not Targeting" for $100 million, Alex. And the answer is ... "Because Texas is a bigger draw in the semifinals." (I *was* pulling for Texas before this "call" because they beat @ClemsonFB.) PS - Thanks for a great double career, @EricMacLain!

No one knows the rule… defenseless player… helmet to helmet… launch… and called no targeting? Ok… got it

@AndrewBrandt I'll play "How Is this not Targeting" for $100 million, Alex. And the answer is ... "Because Texas is a bigger draw in the semifinals."

How is this not targeting??

@ericcbarnes @billjamesonline What is "WAR"?

@billjamesonline WAR says different

I'll probably get lynched for saying this, but I kind of think Scott Rolen was a greater player than Brooks Robinson. Brooks was a fantastic fielder but only had a few good years with the bat. Rolen was a tremendous fielder and had a much better bat.

@Michael89989100 @billjamesonline "I have Brooks somewhere between 11 & 15 for the greatest 3B ever." You do?! Wow! Thank you for teaching me.

@billjamesonline I have Brooks somewhere between 11 & 15 for the greatest 3B ever. Rolen is 7-10. Brooks was Clete Boyer with the glove and, at best, Buddy Bell with the bat. Rolen was Mike Schmidt with the glove and Ron Santo with the bat.

@CodifyBaseball @RealCJ10 @baseball_ref @Stathead With or without eczema?

Most times scoring from first base on a double during their big league careers: Craig Biggio, 110 Rickey Henderson, 109 Derek Jeter, 107 Johnny Damon, 104 Chipper Jones, 104 😮

@RGIII First time I’ve ever disagreed with you.

Same people criticizing Cam Ward for sitting out the 2nd half of the Pop Tarts Bowl, would be saying how dumb it was for him to play if he got hurt. He didn’t have to play AT ALL. Instead he gave us a half of jaw dropping plays. Stop villainizing these student athletes.

@davidpollack47 The question is: How many millions of dollars did this "business decision" cost him?

Has anyone ever opted out at the halftime of a bowl game? I can’t remember someone doing it. Cam Ward did it today at the Pop Tart Bowl.
