I wish my knees still allowed me to do it, but unfortunately, I have to stick with biking now. When running though be sure you're paying attention!! What kind of bike ya got? A hog I hope!

I'm close but that was 5 years before my time. I have seen the World Series games from 1975 and 1976 on video though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss machine gun Joe Kelly! He was the quintessential Red Sox attitude of a championship run. He's a streaky reliever, but he's a beast when he gets mad. This bodes well for LAD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even ended up getting the whole foul pole named after him!! (Pesky already had the right foul pole) As for the equivalent moment for my team (UK basketball), I'm not sure if there's really any ONE moment that stands out above all the others (interesting how for both my team and my Bostonian wife's Red Sox, both our 1975 teams finished second and her '67 Impossible Dream and the Cats' '66 Rupp's Runts also finished runner-up that year yet in all four cases they are among the most beloved teams in our respective franchise's history). Except maybe that shot that was made that Rupp put a nail into the court to mark it waaaaaay back when...but this I think was back before television so obviously that would not be the same.

No no no no no, my wife's equivalent of that is obviously... To add further insult to injury, Ray Knight (the guy who stamped the plate for the winning run is wearing my birthday number #22 and the Red Sox who made the last out in Game 7 (my wife had the Mandela effect and remember the Buckner moment as the end of the series not realizing they had another chance the next night!) wore #17, our anniversary date As for the video you posted, the Unforgettables (what our 1992 team was called; yes several of our squads had cool nicknames like 1996's Untouchables and the REAL Fab Five of 1948; had either the 2014 or 2015 teams finished the job i think the nickname UndeNINEables would've been perfect) also is among the most beloved in our history and the four seniors immediately had their numbers retired right after that game when the team came back home (I wish I could find a video of that ceremony).

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hopefully it doesn't rain today. The Reds got rained out Thurdsay here and yesterday it Detroit. They can't catch a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmorgandrinker | 1,649 Administrator · Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'll be surprised if MLB goes another two weeks at this point. They really screwed the pooch not doing bubble cities like the NHL and NBA did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A. | 1,139 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I don't think they really have a plan. They were supposed to have replacement players to shuttle back and forth if someone tested positive, but now they are just postponing games instead.

BriGuy82 | 768 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) @Bearcat-Doug I picked up a couple topps chrome blasters and pulled this guy. Now I know about 3 players on the reds .

BriGuy82 | 768 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 @doner24 I don't know how it is by you but the resellers by me are cutthroat right now. I know what you were saying about the Dominguez being hot with the bowman cards, but they snatch anything and everything around here. I saw the shelves full with diamond king blasters at target the other day, went back the next day everything was gone. And those cards suck! I was lucky and caught the fresh release of topps chrome last week, but checked back later and everything was gone. The celo packs, hanger boxes and the rest of the blasters I left. All gone.

Yeah I know I got lucky finding the blasters. If I had known they were stacked with autos I would've grabbed a bunch more. I think I might order a hobby box since I don't think there is any chance I'll get lucky enough to score more blasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
