Five All-Star appearances. Plus, Edgar played half his games in that roller rink known as the Kingdome while Rolen was playing in a pitcher's park at Busch.

How does a guy like this not come close to 2500 hits, much less 3000?

BTW, Rolen was Rookie of the Year, not an MVP - just for the sake of correcting the record.

Mo is the same idiot that once tried to compare Negro League players he thought should be in the Hall and came up with the name of a woman because she was on a list of possible inductees for being an executive. His credibility on anything to do with baseball is below zero as far as I'm concerned.

Mamie Johnson wasn’t an executive then. And still isn’t now. I’m not the one who claimed there was no quality pitching in the Negro Leagues.

MLB network was talking about the best Pirates of all time and didn't mention Honus Wagner, the GREATEST Pirate of all time. W T F?

Nobody looked better in a Pirates uniform than Willie Stargell.

They mention him. Not mentioning Wagner is just plain dumb though.

I can kind of agree with King, but then again, I don't think kickers should be in the NFL HOF

Cleveland Indians parting ways with Chief Wahoo beginning in 2019. That will make Arapaho happy.

They have been phasing him out lately anyway. He hasn't been on their caps.

This is why Vin is the best that ever was or ever will be. A reciting of "Tinkers to Evers to Chance", a history lesson and perfect play-by-play all at the same time.

I miss listening to him. The greatest sports broadcaster of all time IMHO.

How the hell do you know, off the top of your head and in the middle of another story, that Nate ******* Schierholz, a classic AAAA outfielder on the opposing team, is wearing batting gloves when he normally doesn't. Vin Scully was just amazing.

Chaz likes him so much that he says Scully was the only good thing about the Dodgers organization.

I thought you didn't mind the Brooklyn Dodgers. I apologize for short changing your hatred. Dodgers are the best, man.
