Ive been listening to the Baseball Tonight podcast with Buster Olney and she’s had a segment on there for years and has even filled in as host before. She’s got an incredible love for the game and her baseball knowledge borders on the level of some kind of statistical demigod. I found myself skipping her parts of the show because it was so hard to distinguish especially for someone like me with hearing loss but I eventually found the solution was to dial the playback speed to 1.5 (take it on my word, you don’t wanna take it slower) because I found that she has a lot of great things to say.

I wonder if they tried anything to clear it up in the studio when they recorded the tracks?

I’m still on the fence about whether or not I’ll play this years game at all but it’s intriguing to know she’s got a part. Goodness this is one we gotta tread lightly on because this is a delicate one

Read this and you’ll understand

@SakAttack87_PSN said in New legends for 23:

Jeter is such a big addition for the franchise, but if we could add just one more legend from the Yankees can we please get Bernie Williams. There would be no complaints from me if we saw someone like DiMaggio or maybe Andy Pettitte. However, Bernie was my favorite as a kid and his best card would probably find itself at the top of many lineups.

Cecil Fielder….Darryl Strawberry….Nomar (No-mahh)….Juan Gonzalez….etc…etc…nearly every awesome player from an awesome time in baseball…..etc etc….

Hey there partner! I happened upon your (extremely well written and straight up fun to read) wonderful post a little bit ago and just wanted to take a few min to agree with what ‘Ericulous1’ said in his message a couple back ago…I bet there’s a good number of people who was reading that with a smile on their face! Ain’t it something how everyone’s Baseball DNA had a tendency to seep out into even the typewritten word - haha - immediately “outing” one’s self to their fellow brothers in baseball upbringing!? Man, all I kept thinking was, “man, I could talk baseball with this feller for days!” I know that I’m not the only one by a long stretch, either! I have a feeling that I could’ve swapped baseball card albums with you somewhere back in the mid to late 1990’s and wouldn’t have lost out on a single card! Haha! Thank you for sharing that, and I’d like to say that you have great taste in baseball talent! That really was a great post!

PS I want to play too, despite the fact of you nailing it! Here’s a few more names that immediately came to mind when I read your list, as well as the one Ericulous1 left (both of which were awesome, btw):

How’s bout Pete Incaviglia, Razor Shines, Dave Steib (wiffle baller extraordinaire), Lenny Dykstra, Dale Murphy, HoJo (1st IF to join 30/30 club), Jesse Barfield (he was cannon…when cannon wasn’t cool), Dave Cone, Kent Tekulve, Benito Santiago…here’s one…much has been said about Jesse Winker off the bench, but imagine bringing in Lee Mazilli (or Mark Carreon!) in to pinch hit hahaha! That guy could get a double while being intentionally walked…so long as you brought him in off the bench! Platoon him into the lineup and he’ll give you 0-4, but bring him in to PH and the man sprays BBs like ‘The Salad Shooter’ slings cucumber slices!

23s still purring along like a kitten fellers

That or the other three hundred saying the same thing
