    What a dummy. He would have got away with it if he simply had the package mailed to his wife!
    Always enjoyed his standup act.

    My house is on the median strip of a highway. You don't really notice, except I have to leave the driveway doing 60 MPH

    And if his WAR numbers continue he will be underpaid.

    Yep, you read that correctly.

    That's just ridiculous.

    Glad to see the Astros got a deal done with Bregman before he got any more expensive.

    I'm sure half of Trout's salary will be eaten away with taxes and California property costs.

    As for Bregman, he still had three years of arbitration eligibility ahead of him where he would probably be underpaid so 6/$100mil balances out the cost-control years and the first free agency years. Bregman should also send a large fruit basket to Arenado at minimum. That contract opened the vault for a lot of players but particularly third basemen.

    I think I read that Bregman sent him a fruit cake from Harry and David.

    Ichiro announced his retirement. He's one of my son's favorites. Imagine if he'd played his entire career in MLB. Just an amazing baseball player.

    Swagger, presence, and production in all facets of game. Really enjoyed watching him ball.

    One of the top ten contact hitters of all time? He had 3089 career MLB hits but didn't start his MLB career until he was 27 years old. That almost seems impossible.

    Career 4,000 is a decent guess. That puts him in good company.

    He gets dinged for being a singles guy, but he had legit power. I read an interview about it, and my takeaway was that he bought into the analytics of run production and shaped his game in conformance.

    Yeah apparently he could have hit for 40 or 50 homers a year if he wanted, but he valued getting on base more, which makes total sense.

    Not 40 or 50. Probably closer to 20 to 25. 40 or 50 is basically Babe Ruth or Roided up Bonds territory.

    Ichiro was like a modern day Ty Cobb. A reporter once told Cobb he couldn't hit HRs so Cobb hit something like 5 HRs in 3 games then went back to his contact hitter ways just to prove a point.
