    This is what people are talking about.

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

    Did you see his documentary?
    I did not know he even had one!  I know what i'll be watching this weekend.

    I am. I bought one of his game used bats before the season started. I thought “MAYBE he’ll do something someday.” guess what? the 2017 first round pick has finally seemed to find his groove.

    my giants suck, tho.

    Didn't even know what it was until the youngins who work for me showed me yesterday. Sure enough, my always listening phone apps led me to the memes in no time.

    Cool!  Yeah I mentioned him before.  He looks good and has zero players hitting around him.  Hes still really young.

    They really need to put in a ball strike challenge system. These umpires are a bad joke.

    Thought was pretty kool to hear this:

    This is a long listen but this rare Ty Cobb interview from the 1930’s is well worth your time

    TY for this.  I never knew this existed. I knew he loved Lajoie as a player and Jackson but never knew he revered Ruth. That was pretty cool to hear.

    I did read that ty Cobb didnt care for Ruth and the HR.  He decided to prove a point and hit like 6 HR in 2 days to show everyone he could if he wanted to.

    30 for 30…once upon a time in queens…so good…kinda tragic, too, especially Doc.

    I think I saw it before (maybe not all for parts) but I just watched it again. even a met hater like the juggler might appreciate it.

    You talk about a team that had all this potential.  If you watch early footage of Gooden in his first couple of years he had demon speed and wicked movement.

    Strawberry would eat high and inside pitches.

    Mitchell, McReynolds, Sid, Darling, Orosco, Mookie, Carter, Hojo, Knight.  I know i'm forgetting some.  I lived here and got to watch them play and they were good.  

    1986 playoffs vs the astros I watched one of the greatest pitchers for a brief time in Mike Scott.  He lacerated pitches.  Come to find out he was cheating but still.  Dude threw a pitch that went like an S.  It was Carter I think backed out of the box yelling to the ump.  Man what a series.

    Oh yeah and Nolar Ryan got shelled. I remember being upset about that because I loved Nolan Ryan.

    But still? Scott was an average pitcher for the entirety of his twenties and all of a sudden at 30 yo develops a pitch with sharpness and movement not before seen in the color tv era? He singlehanded almost brought his team to the World Series with his one pitch he discovered at 30 yo?

    imagine that, an astro cheating. Seemed obvious at the time, but…baseball.

    edit, his turnaround and rise brings to mind Mo…but never. Never.

    Mitchell was traded for McReynolds. Cashew didn’t want a “bad influence” on Doc and Straw. Mitchell didn’t smoke or drink. Dykstta said McReynolds could have been a good player but he “didn’t like baseball.” Personally was a terrible fit, too.

    This is the first time I read about Mike Scott. What is he accused of exactly doing?
