    Warren Spahn is one of the most underrated pitchers of all time. Arguably the best lefty to ever play.

    Your dad was right….”all around” being the operative phrase.

    Willie’s health had been deteriorating for quite some time. RIP #24; you earned it.

    you still got to get that third strike even if the umpire makes a mistake in your view, which is what seemingly happened and they didn't.

    He was right.  It's a shame he doesn't get more love.

    Anyone watching the game between the Giants and Cardinals in Birmingham, AL? They had Reggie Jackson in the booth for a little bit. 

    Probably more people at this game than at an A's home game :lol:

    I'm watching on DVR. Usually I fast forward on DVR games but other than the commercials I haven't fast forwarded anything.

    This is what people are talking about.

    Reggie was my first favorite ballplayer.  I never heard him talk about this.  Very powerful story.
