  1. Nate Colbert as a member of the Detroit Tigers: Nate as an Expo: Nate on the A’s:
  2. Wow, I can't believe they let that happen. I guess it was cheaper than staging a fake game.
  3. He was Rick Pitino's first pick in that big draft where they had three first round picks but could not net that lottery pick to get Tim Duncan. A year later Pitino, trying to prove his worth as a GM, started wheeling and dealing players away and he traded Chauncey away. Pitino was a huge failure as a Celtics coach and worse as the GM.
  4. You know what, I just assumed but I forgot that Dave Winfield already had 31! And didn't Billy try to instigate a brawl with Whitson (a country boy from Tennessee) and end up with a broken arm?
  5. Ed Whitson was 31 with the Padres, took 31 with the Yankees, but upon his return to the Padres had to take 32 because of Lamar Hoyt. Once Hoyt left, Whitson reclaimed 31 (which is now retired for Dave Winfield).
  6. He did but he's a Charger. I think of him more a Bengal than an Oiler.
  7. Hard to argue the iconic nature of the 1981 unis, they were cutting edge at the time they were unveiled. That said, while I think the original uniforms were bland and definitely similar to the Cleveland Browns, I just dig that original helmet with that simple black font outlined in white. "BENGALS". I even bought a mini helmet of that version and I'm not even a Bengals fan. But there's no turning back, the tiger stripe helmets are awesome and has withstood the test of time.
  8. Here's Jaws in the wrong uniform (his first team) and the wrong number (just like above as a Dolphin). Here's Jaws in the wrong uniform (his first team) and the wrong number (just like above as a Dolphin). You know, looking at this beautiful uniform, I'm thinking you could post a picture of the current Rams team photo and make an argument that the team is in the "wrong uniform" (meaning they should switch back to these classics full time).
  9. That photo of Hendrick always cracks me up, especially when I see him coaching the Rays on TV. His players are too young or weren't born to remember, but Hendrick basically tanked his only season with the Bucs. He wasn't happy about being traded to Pittsburgh, so Hendrick loafed whenever possible, but still collected his paycheck. The term "Jogging" George Hendrick was coined to describe his lack of effort at the plate and in the field. Talk about letting down your teammates! If you or I had pulled that stunt at a new company we would have been fired quickly. The Pirates had bad teams in the mid 80s before the revival later in the decade, but that was no excuse for the unprofessional conduct by Hendrick that year. Hendrick loafed in San Diego too, he was generally a malingerer during his career. It's amazing he is now coaching.
