Randy L — I agree with you on Spahn and would add that Karma’s all wet on ballpark sizes and HR’s. Shibe Park was a bandbox, as was Ebbets Field (Gil Hodges’s and Duke Snyder’s HR’s went way down when the Dodgers left NY), and even the big parks like Forbes, Yankee, and the Polo Grounds had short spots. I don’t think Braves Field in Boston was that big either, nor was Sportsman’s Park in St.L. And let’s not forget Crosley and Wrigley.

Spahn was, simply put, one of the greatest lefties of all time, and remember he probably lost 20-40 wins because he fought in WWII. Randy Johnson couldn’t carry his j-strap.

Happy holidays all.

Here’s a Christmas present for Cash and the front office. 2d year running they have reduced their luxury tax bill. (Hey, at least it’s going in right direction).

99 comments and a Chris ain’t one.

Well, that is until now.

Nice job, Pete! Happy holidays to you and Yankee fans (OK, and to non-Yankee fans, too, I guess.)
