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.)

One thing I'm confused about: Eddie showed Simmons an Astros jersey with "Tartabull" on the back, and Simmons said "Danny Tartabull," which is a reasonable assumption, but the thing is that neither Danny Tartabull nor his father Jose ever played for the Astros, and there is no one else named Tartabull in MLB history. So whose jersey is that?

I will go out on a limb and say that 99% of the baseball fan population missed that Hack Wilson's RBI numbers changed in the 90s.

Also… Bill is an NBA guy first and foremost.  Then NFL.  He pays attention to baseball only when the Red Sox are doing well.

Yes, loved his NBA book.

It was weirdly interesting to me hearing Ed and Jeff talk about Taylor Swift. They were complimentary, and rightly so. Particularly Ed, who insinuated he was pretty blown away by a b-side of hers that his daughter played for him.

Is it wrong to secretly hope they cover one of her songs at some point? Asking for a friend.

....Okay...I'll show myself out.

Jose Tartabull managed the Gulf Coast Astros in the 80s.  The single A team for the Astros. 

That's a deep cut. Thanks. I wonder if Ed knows that he has either a minor-league uni or a spring-training one.

More like that people have forgotten it. It got a lot of attention at the time, as did the fact that Ty Cobb really had only 4,189 hits, meaning that Pete Rose actually broke the record several days before he broke the record.

I 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...
