    Don't feel bad. Simmons doesn't know as much as he thinks he does, either. Hack Wilson's record is 191 RBIs in a season, not 190. (It used to be thought to be 190, but new research found that he actually drove in 191 runs in 1930. It was a whole thing when this was discovered in the '90s but Simmons apparently missed it.)

    really like baseball history and for me it was, just one day, the RBI record was 191, instead of 190. I don't remember it happening or anything about the story. I still don't know what run scored that was originally not counted as an RBI and now is counted. I do know that 1930 was a juiced ball year - a total joke. If it happened now people would be throwing asterisks all over it.

    I was listening back to the March 2020 interview Simmons did with Ed and Jeff, and about the 1 hour, 58-minute mark, Ed uses the phrase "don't react, respond" in the context of how to deal with the pandemic.

    I wonder if there's a phrase uttered in the 2024 interview that will end up forming the nucleus of a song on the next album...
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
