Ty Cobb is no longer the all time AVG leader. It's now Josh Gibson with .372. About half of the top 10 is getting a shakeup, including a couple dudes I hadn't heard of before! This is very cool, imo.

From "The Boy with a Drum" children's book that I read as a kid. My dad always thought the last line of the book was hilarious.

That hill doesn't look all that high. I they were marching to the top of it, I'm pretty sure they have stopped by now.

Two-Star review for the product because of their dumb-ass mail person
This is not the size of a Little Golden book. It is much bigger. Plus, it didn't have any extra cardboard support, and the mailman bent it double to fit in our mailbox. Not suitable for a gift now.

Apparently as long as this person lives, they will be reading it still
This is a book my daughters loved. It came out the year my oldest was born (1969) and was read thousands of times. I can still almost recite the whole thing. I now have great-grandchildren so I looked to see if a could find a copy. Amazon came through. I read it to the current little ones and their reaction when I finished was “AGAIN”. It’s the first book they pick out for me to read when they visit.

Darren Waller - the worst singer in the history of the world. Glad the Raiders got rid of this dude, if for no other reason than this song.

Well yeah, that's the point, once they got to the top they just marched in place.

SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Channel is having their version of Vintage Drafting today. Rosters are much smaller than ours and the only restrictions are players from >1900 and they’re using “peak” years only. Not sure if they’re totalling it up to determine a winner, but it’s a good listen and Lord Zola gave us a shout out.

1st overall pick? Shohei Ohtani!

We should challenge them to come over here and have a vintage draft. Our team vs their experts, that would be fun.

It's true, there probably are some tender ears in this thread.
