Been watching MLB since 1985

If I had to pick in order the best World Series of my watching lifetime from an entertainment perspective:

2001
2016
1986
2011
1991
1997
1985 (Game 6 got me hooked)

If Tom Niedenfuer was pitching for the Dodgers, this game would've been over.

Nothing can stop a test of the Emergency Alert System, not even the World Series

Remember the contest CBC had after they lost the rights to the song in 2008? The "Canadian Gold" version was actually really good.

That ball needed to be kicked so far out of bounds and it just wasn't. Bad job by the Bears.

Saturday Night Live did a skit that involved Matt Prater in 2011 during the height of Tebow Mania.

Prater still delivering winning kicks 14 years later.

The pose? Iconic

His hockey career? Legendary.

He won a Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe in 1971 and THEN won the Calder the next year ... 6 Cups total

His post career? Inspiring.

Ken Dryden will forever be more than just the Hall of Fame goalie.

Does that mean Martin Brodeur is Kareem?

Mike McCarthy truly is no longer the coach of the Cowboys .... They just had great clock management at the end of the first half

Now might be a good time if the Stars wanna make a Jason Robertson trade 😁

This is a fantastic take

Slide Away - Best start to finish
Acquiesce - Anthemic
Live Forever - Beauty
Listen Up - Goosebumps

And the Unplugged versions of Live Forever and Listen Up just spectacular

Who knew I was 7 years ahead of my time calling for an Oasis reunion.

When I finally get a chance to see The Naked Gun, I can only hope this new version makes me laugh like this scene did in the original

Frank Dreben as an umpire calls runner safe despite the catcher tagging him while holding 3 baseballs in the original Naked Gun movie

What perfect album came out when you were 16?

Runner-up: Siamese Dream and August and Everything After

Story by @downgoesbrown.bsky.social about best of 7 change got me thinking about greatest "What If?" series: 1991 NJ vs PIT

- what if Weinrich doesn't mess the pop up in Game 3?

- what if it was best of 5?

- what if Pietrangelo doesn't make The Save?

- what if replay overturns Boschman no goal?

I know pitching wins isn't the be all-end all for pitcher success but ...

Righetti won 14 games in 1983 as a starter

Then he won 12 games all in relief in 1985

Then he set the single-season record for saves in 1986 (since broken).

He had such a unique, successful career

Chuck Mangione played the National Anthem before Dave Righetti's no-hitter on July 4, 1983 and then serenaded him after the game.

Love the randomness of my daughter's hockey t-shirt collection

Chris Kreider's 22 goals and 8 assists isn't really a Cy Young type season

I'd put it more in the Vida Blue, Orel Hershiser, Matt Morris type season

Remember when a Metro team could go into Florida and win twice in a 3-day span

Best quirky playoff stat since Matt Murray won 2 Stanley Cup titles as a rookie.

Dimitri Filipovic @dimfilipovic.bsky.social · May 16

Logan Stankoven making the Western Conference Final and Eastern Conference Final in his first two NHL seasons is pretty sick

At least one streak continues

The Devils franchise has never been swept in a best-of-7 series.

They may lose in 5 a lot, but not 4.

Vin Masi @vinmasi.bsky.social · Apr 19

Tampa is the best 5v5 team in the game. With fewer power plays than ever before, the teams that are best at 5v5 will prevail.
