    On Feb. 16, 1989, the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Orel Hershiser to a record-setting three-year, $7.9 million contract extension.

    Remember this....$2.63M/year was unheard of 33 years ago!

    Now Judge is getting $40M per year.

    Crazy!
    I remember when Canseco was the first $4M man in 1990.  Bobby Bonilla became the first $5M man two years later.  Albert Belle was the first to eclipse $10M in 1997.  It took 17 years to go from $1M (Nolan Ryan, 1980) to $10M.  Only 25 years to quadruple that.
    Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 25

    Any mention of Hershiser reminds me of the funniest shit-talk from a fan I've ever heard. It was a Phillies game at Veterans stadium in 1998 when Hershiser was with the Giants. I was in the 3rd row behind the visitors' dugout. As he walks towards the on-deck circle, a fan behind me yells "OF COURSE YOUR NAME IS OREL CAUSE YOU FUCKING SUCK DICK!" 

    apropos of that...

    I get a lot of baseball memorabilia auction catalogs. one I got recently had a document from mickey mantle...years ago, the yankees sent questionnaires to their players, asking about their most memorable event at the stadium...mickey mantle (of course) referenced a blow job he received under the right field stands. to paraphrase, "she was a nice girl. she asked me what she could do with the cum in her mouth. I answered, 'how should I know? I'm no cocksucker'" :lol:
    I posted that on the Yankees thread
    Don Mattingly or Babe Ruth both in their primes....who you taking?
    Huh.
    Greg frigging Nettles.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Giants don’t need judge….they got mitch haniger!

    I had him confused with someone else (on the Reds?) but apparently he’s pretty good when healthy.
    I had someone want to sell me some Mitch Haniger cards yesterday.  I told him no but I'd sell you some, lol!
    thanks, but I’m good.
    Not you, you tadpole, the person that wanted to sell to me!!!

    So Padres got Xander.  That means they move Tatis to OF and Abrahms over to 2nd?

    I figure CJ Abrahms is their future.  Then theres Croneworth though at 2nd.  He's not a bad player by any means.

    I'm very curious on what they do.

    @cutz Interesting article and makes no mention of Abrahms.  Guy is missing another piece of the puzzle.

    who did you mention as a Giants SS? I’m not banking on any prospects….every time I hear one touted, they disappoint.

    Nimmo signs the second largest deal in Mets history?  
    I don't watch them enough, but is that dude worth that much?

    They'll probably trade either for a decent starter

    I think their best signing was Quintana. I like the Phils signing Walker, but I would've much more preferred the lower price tag of Quintana.

    I mean outside of replacing deGrom with Verlander.

    Nimmo is beloved by the fans and was a home grown prospect from NY.  Solid player.

    Longest tenure from a Mets player is from?  Anybody want to guess?

    Ed Fucking Cranepool.  His rc year was 1968...  Next is David Wright with 14.
