agreed, late 2003 through 2004 you could not get away form that song (in a good way). it was/is so universally liked.

that said there are several goofy pop songs ranked way to high and some recency bias. number one is random IMO. did not totally hate this list though, was enjoyable to go through.

Forever a legend. If you’ve never seen this video it’s wild. Cause at first you assume Flacco is obviously joking, but he seams dead serious.

Executed PERFECTLY!

But WHY are the Phillies bunting here?

With a runner already in scoring position, giving up an out. One of your slowest runners needs to make it third on the bunt.

Dodgers already showed the wheel play was on.

Beyond dumb. This play will haunt me. 🤦‍♂️

Hey baseball world? Ever hear of this guy before? Apparently he’s really good. I think his dad may have played a little ball as well.

pitching a clean inning in a tie-game, in a playoff game. I think we can count that as a big moment. even if it’s only the 3rd inning - if he gives up runs those runs count the same as they do in late innings. I don’t get why this is bad?
