2. End of list

Anyone know why Sam Gray is listed as "Dolly" Gray in the spreadsheet? There is another player named Dolly but he didn't pitch the same years.

The player with LahmanID = 'graydo02' is Samuel David Gray, born October 15, 1897, in Van Alstyne, Texas. He pitched 1924-1933.

According to the BR Bullpen:

He was nicknamed "Dolly" after a song "Goodbye, Dolly Gray". The name was also hung on another pitcher whose name was Gray, William Denton Gray (Dolly Gray).

I'll begin my time travel this weekend. We have a blizzard coming and i just signed up for spotify

If you only listened the artists repeated on both lists, you'd be spending the weekend listening to

Radiohead
Arcade Fire
The White Stripes
Sufjan Stevens

That sounds like a good weekend.

Spotify has a Top 10 for each artist, which if you don't set to repeat (or random) will I think just keep playing the most popular songs. But with those artists, you'd probably be best listening to a selection of their best albums

Nice, here's the "other" Dolly Gray:

Apparently there have been 3 players in history named or nicknamed Dolly (3rd one is here -- https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...tarkdo01.shtml)

[Bene Futuis]

You know how when you ask people what kind of music they like, inevitably they say, "Oh, I like all kinds of music!"

Not me, motherfuckers. Speed metal and punk rock for me. Oh, and also classic Motown. And maybe some, specific classical stuff. Jazz, but not Coltrane-style. A little rap but not much. Some reggae maybe.

[The Feral Slasher]

And Green Day...or not, could have sworn I added them.

Have a green day album already !

[Kevin Seitzer]

Dolly: Martial bugles lure.

[Bene Futuis]

Does the jacket explain why that guy sings with a British accent even though he's from Philadelphia or whatever?

Tip of the day:

Google "Band Name" and "Best Ever Albums" (e.g. "Beatles Best Ever album") if you wan't to know which albums to listen to. That site (besteveralbums .com) will give a very fair reflection of the album ranking for practically every band.

Try it ... it's a damn fine resource.
