Yeah if it was still the Tigers that would not be news. First time in over a decade for the Royals this late in the season.econgator wrote:Since you're asking, I'm guessing KC.MarkBarrett wrote:A quick detour: It's June 17th and which team is in first place in the AL Central?

I'm a Tiger fan, but I'm impressed with the ball KC has been playing lately. Wasn't tonight's win the 9th in a row for the Royals?MarkBarrett wrote:A quick detour: It's June 17th and which team is in first place in the AL Central?

Not that it actually took a long time, but I'm surprised that it took this long for someone to come up with these.Budphrey wrote:David Justice

One of the great average hitters of all time! Somewhere I have an early-1960s vintage old-timers series card of Heinie Manush.
Found this one online. Says it's a 1960 Fleer card.

Knowing Fleer didn't make cards of active players in 1960, I had to look up how a Fleer card could even exist in 1960.RandyG wrote:Blue Lion wrote:One more "body parts" player who hasn't been mentioned: Heinie Manush.

Apparently they made a "Baseball Greats" series in 1960 and 61, piggybacking off their 1959 rights to Ted Williams and the start of a valiant, but ultimately futile, effort to break the Topps monolith.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Clayton Kershaw has a no-hitter against the Rockies and only needs six more outs.

A little late to the party.

Should have been except for the careless error by Hanley Ramirez. Two from the same team in less than a month. The G-Men are feeling the heat.This Is Kirk! wrote:Perfecto!!
