I went to the Mayor’s Trophy game in 1960, Yanks and LA Dodgers. My hero was Gil Hodges, and my father gave me a grammar school grad gift of two games in a row….. Monday night at Yankee Stadium, then we drove to Philadelphia and stayed overnight and saw the Dodgers play the Phillies…. a great graduation gift……

Comment on When Nettles Decked Reggie by scoobysnack

I remember hearing this on TV when i was a little kid, but the story i remember hearing was the Graig Nettles popped Reggie Jackson in the mouth. As a young ‘colored’ boy who looked up to RJ at the time and didn’t realize his reputation, I was disappointed that he didn’t hit the guy back. That’s what stuck out for me (as a kid, i only associated knock outs with boxing, but never seen somene get knocked out in a fight, and it wasn’t reported as a KO, merely that he got hit in the mouth)….anyway, now that i’m an adult, I like Graig and Reggie both

Comment on Ty Cobb Money, Greinke’s Struggles, Omar on the FAN by Isaac Valenzuela

Just to add on about Ty Cobb. First of all, although his salary may be listed at $85,000 for the season, that doesn’t include the $20,000 bonus he was to receive should he help the A’s win the pennant. You might wonder why that matters, since everyone knows the 27 Yankees were the AL pennant winners that year, as well as the World Series champions.

Well, Ty Cobb hit incredibly well that year, with a .357/.440/..482 line, to go with 104 runs and 93 rbi in 133 games that year – at the age of 40. He did so well, in fact, that Connie gave him the bonus that year anyway, making Ty Cobb the first player to make over $100,000 in one year.

Of course, in today’s game, that’s still not a lot, even adjusted for inflation. What’s lesser known, is that when Connie asked him to join his A’s, he didn’t stipulate all that stuff above, instead, he offered him the biggest salary ever – a blank check.

Comment on Is Sandy Alderson Overrated? by eddie86

eddie86 — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 02:26:18 +0000

The real question is…what has Sandy done to improve this team?…sign a bunch of scrubby relievers?…if he really wanted this team to win he would have got then Mets a ”real ”closer when they had a winning record…but no he waits for the team to start losing so he doesnt have to make a trade to improve the team!…Horrible GM.
