Scantlebury was a teammate of León Kellman in eight of his seasons in Panama. I’ve been stuck writing Kellman’s SABR bio for a while now waiting to find more data from Panama. I think I’m going to just have to wrap it up in the next month or so.

Fuck it, here’s one more. “Stay Woke” is an important one to me and contains a lot of personal mantras. I can’t believe what we’re doing to our younger generations. I’m so sorry we let you down. Out for real on Friday (along with “Anti-Antifa,”‘which was shared last Friday).

I can’t tell you how much I want to read a full-length biography of Cuban P/1B/OF/MGR Lázaro Salazar. He played in Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, USA, and the Dominican Republic. A HOFer in Mexico, Cuba, and Venezuela, he won 14 league titles as manager (in 4 countries) before his tragic death at age 44.

One of my favorite 4,000 hit guys is Nelson Barrera. If Héctor Espino is the Babe Ruth of Mexico, I think Barrera is the Lou Gehrig. When I presented at SABR, we had him at 4,054 hits and 614 HR. That was missing ALL playoff data.
Updated totals: 4,347 hits and 647 home runs.

Just one week until “Stay Woke” and “Anti-Antifa” are out. Here’s a clip of “Anti-Antifa” a quick ripper that doubles as a grammar lesson for those among us who are missing the point. Thank you to @davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social for providing the guitar solo for this one. Out November 14th!

Cuban OF Agustín Bejerano died on this day in 1972. He played from 1928-1954 and I’ve compiled 5627 AB. The speedster hit .307 and stole at least 351 bases. He was also patient with 11 seasons with a .400+ OBP in the Mexican League. He’s a HOFer in Mexico and Cuba.

I missed a big birthday over the weekend. Víctor Pellot Power was born 98 years and 2 days ago. One of the smoothest dudes to ever play the game, Power had over 1700 hits in the majors, won 7 Gold Gloves, and had 4 All-Star seasons. He’s a HOFer in his native Puerto Rico and has over 3500 pro hits.

If this is indeed the ballot we see tomorrow, it’s worth noting that Bonds and Clemens could be facing permanent ineligibility if they fail to reach five votes (they both had <4 last time).

I loved it up there. I even started writing again. “All My Axes Are Exes,” the first track on YAY!, was written just before a decade had lapsed since I had last written a song. Two more tracks followed and I published an EP in Jan 2015 called “Existential Crisis Songs.”
