All those years of doing everything the Cardinal way have to be tremendously tiring. He was a really good catcher. But yeah, likely the most overrated MLB player of my lifetime.

My Valdosta knowledge came via Hal Mumme and Dusty Bonner. I call some games for Louisville Male which is right there behind Valdosta on the all-time high school win list. Obviously, quite a program.

I do find myself yearning for those old days when we could argue about things but immutable facts governed the day. Will they return? Not looking so optimistic.

There’s a special corner in Heaven for guys the Cubs signed well after their prime. It’s a crowded corner.

Needed to read that, even (especially) as a guy who thinks Ohio and cheese sounds like a roadmap to Hades. Thanks, Craig.

When I was 13, my family moved and we were now close enough to Knoxville to see an occasionally AA baseball game. The first was the Iowa Cubs and Brant Brown signed autographs for me and my kid sister and even took a picture with us. There are few players I have rooted for more.

Heck of a player. One of our handful of good catchers who had a couple of really good seasons.

You have to love a world where the good folk of Alabama don’t trust a man with the Auburn football team so they make him their U.S. Senator. Says several things at once really.

Well, I doubt the people scanning reviews of my book were curious as to Amazon’s packaging excellence. And I think Bezos will squeak through regardless.

My all-time head scratcher is a one star on Amazon that says nothing about the book but complains about the condition it arrived in. Smdh

H-Rod was like a B+ player in my memory. Good pop, solid dude. Not going to baseball reference to test the validity of my memory.

If I was a couple years older, it would be Jody Davis. But it’s Berryhill I think of when it comes to slow, mediocre catchers who always seemed on the verge of something more.

It has come in waves. Which can probably be tied to specific political and cultural events.
I was listening to the audiobook of No Country for Old Men. The narrator tied the decline of the US to a loss of manners. Not as odd to me in 2025 as it used to be. At least a kernel of truth in it.

I can only assume in this world, the Monkees’ legendary Pool It album, which includes a D+ level cover, somehow is outside the pop culture spectrum. Impossible to fathom, I know.

A rare example of the time the Cubs got the good and somebody else got the empty hype. I also always think of the Braves, who decided they couldn’t pay Van Poppel’s massive draft price and instead reluctantly drafted… Chipper Jones.

Yeah, Renfro looks like a bad option in a mediocre church softball league. I doubt Barry Bonds and Darryl Strawberry were quaking in their spikes.

Unlike many of these guys, who make me chuckle to remember, this guy kinda makes me sad. A great idea, but didn’t work.
