The “Major League” WAR question reminds me of the Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective. They compile the box scores and stat lines for sports movies semi-frequently. “BASEketball,” “Space Jam,” that sort of thing. Truly, God’s work.

Was that “on VHS” closing line a shot by Tiffany at you being an old man because you went to college in the early 90′s? Damn.

Yes. Yes it was. Because after all, I am old enough to be her. Well, maybe her uncle.

I went to college in the early 90′s too, and I don’t feel old. 40 is the new 20 right?

43 is the new 23. Or so I hope.

Game 4 of the ’96 series I turned off the game in the sixth w/ the Bravos up 6-0. I still have chest pain from this. You must not turn off any games ever that involves your team b/c Berra was so right, it ain’t over til it’s over.

Correction: I didn’t turn it off, I went to sleep. Just a wee teen at the time. Unlike old man Calcaterra, who was likely preparing for a mock trial or something.

Albino Malcolm X. I can’t shake it. But Malcolm was cool. Really cool. I’d like to know how old Tiffany is. With that VHS comment and all.. I still have some VHS tapes around. Green Jello “cereal killer”, G.D. “ultraviolet roses”, SRV “live at Macambo”. Am I old or something? I mean I don’t think I am…

Jonny, he looks like William Foster ( http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0010619/ ) in Falling Down…or my grandfather (who died more than 10 years before you or I were born).

Craig, I don’t know about your pick of King Felix in 4 to 7 years. By then he probably will have pitched about 2,500 to 3,000 innings that’s a lot innings. I think you might want to think about Trevor Cahill a very good young pitcher with only 3 years in the league right now I believe. Just a thought.

Best WAR in Major League? Yeah, it was probably Cerrano, IMO. However I’m prepared to accept Willie Mays Hayes. Such grit. Such determination. Such scrappiness. Ayup. He was a ballplayer….

Craig, it was the Urim and Thummim, not the Urim and Theremin. The Theremin was/is, of course, a strange musical instrument only occasionally used by Joseph Smith.

Ah, well, close is close. I always tend to get those fantastical concepts from sci-fi, fantasy and religion all mixed up anyway.
