July 20, 20232 yr Repped for Homer Bailey. One of my former students who played in the minors trained with hm for awhile and said he was the most freakish athlete he had ever seen, could do standing backflips and walk on his hands with ease. Also, I have zero recollection of Straw playing for SF. Edited July 20, 20232 yr by Beau Vine

July 21, 20232 yr I'm disappointed I didn't think to use Big Poison or Little Poison for the Pirates .300 hitter
July 21, 20232 yr Little Poison was 5'9" 150 and is one of the worst players in the Hall. Big (sic) Poison was 5'8" 153 and here I go down the BREF rabbit hole again...

July 22, 20232 yr Well that was fucking stupid lol. I thought it was a ROY who won MVP that same season and knew the number was low (which its 2...couldn't think of them) so just guessed a random ass old dude.

Yeah, they already had the one with ROY and 100 RBI season. Everyone thought it had to be the same season they won ROY but then some guy posted Jeter as a correct answer.
July 22, 20232 yr I will confess that I nearly guessed Edwin Jackson for Braves and Angels, and good thing I remembered Derka's boy, because EJ didn't play for the Angels.

July 22, 20232 yr Generally if somebody won something for the Tigers it was probably Alan Trammell (though not as a manager...) or Lou Whitaker. Though looking into it, it seems neither was ever MVP which I should keep in mind for the future. Edited July 22, 20232 yr by Valmy77
