  Two players who started the year for the Sox are now playing in the World Series, Kopech who admits he didn’t listen to the Sox coaches and just wanted to throw fastballs, and Hill for the Yanks who was a near 6 ERA guy and was near 2 ERA guy in NY. What a turnaround for those guys.

  @mayjay Sox won some games against Cleveland when we were playing our best ball of the season. Everybody, yes, I know we have a horrible owner and a horrible stadium and it’s all caught up to us. Ya’ll pray for me!

  @approxinfinity I don’t even watch. It’s seriously depressing if sports were enough to depress someone! Reinsdorf has ruined this franchise with tight fisted ways. I’ve never loathed anyone in sports as much as I do him, even Coach K!

  @FarmerJayhawk said in Deuces, Kauffman: @Crimsonorblue22 not a fan at all. It was going to wipe out a bunch of local businesses either directly or through increased rents. All for a stadium that’s in use 81 days per year. The numbers were always fuzzy to the point of changing monthly. None of it made sense and Jackson County folks saw through it. I think the Royals should have had to commit to a top 15 payroll on average for the life of the tax. 81 times is a lot of times to fill a building, but it has to be mostly full… But a perennial loser with ownership that won’t spend money is a non-starter.

  @dylans I have to finish what I started. The next Lyric ties right in with what we’ve been talking about: New car, caviar, four star, daydream Think I’ll buy me a football team

  Wow, Witt Jr made history, first Royal to hit 30 HRs and steal 30 bases. What a talented player, hope Royals can keep him in KC.

  @Crimsonorblue22 said in LoCain retirement: If they have a time limit for the batters, LoCain would never make it. The new rules do apply to batters. They get one timeout per at-bat, but have to call “time” while in the box before stepping out. They are required to be in the box and ready for a pitch before the pitcher’s 20 second clock gets down to 8 seconds. Not being ready, or not calling “time” properly or calling it another time, is an automatic “strike” on the batter. You are right, though…maybe that is really why LoCain retired. He’d strike out without a pitch being thrown! Funny how such a fast guy could be so slow.

  When Buck failed to get in last time, the argument was that his numbers as a player weren’t up to the level of other contemporary Negro League greats. But he should’ve at least gone in as a “contributor” to the game. A 100% Goodwill Ambassador for baseball. Even today it’s hard to hear his name without smiling.

  As a boy I watched Amos Otis a lot playing the Yankees whom I liked while growing up outside NYC. He was a terrific part of those great late 70’s Royals teams.
