Ths quote on Day from Monte Irvin.

Comparing him to Gibson and Paige favorably leads me to think that people who saw him pitch would agree he belongs. I'll vote YES on Day.
But Willis is an...

Remember this is the NL team for the decade. Pudge definitely should be first team AL in the 90's.

Saberhagen was one of the dominant pitchers of the mid to late 80's. His two Cy Youngs attest to that. I am a little surprised he is only third team.

I don't even want to honor this question with an opinion.

Exactly. The old Cleveland Browns' records, with all of their great history, do not belong to the current Cleveland Browns, who have very little history.

I have always thought the same thing. Casey was certainly a character, as was Yogi.

I hate to correct you Bob. But who was Richard Linday? NY's mayor from 1966-74 was John Lindsay.

Baseball has as close to a perfect playoff season as you can get, IMO. When you look at Hockey and Basketball where it seems that every team makes the playoffs, (slight exaggeration, but you get my...

We have come a long way since then. We still have a ways to go before the ideal exists though.

Borderline.
He was one of the best centerfielders I've seen in the field. Occasionally he showed flashes of brilliance at the plate, too-like his 50 homer year. I would not necessarily object to his...

Agreed. Wish the Padres won though.

Wills

It also was the date that Tiger Stadium opened.

I'll be at tonight's game.

Yes on Durocher. One of the great managers.
Rizzuto would deserve a spot in the broadcast wing. But I'm not sure about the player's wing. For now I'll reserve judgment and vote no.

I have been given tickets to Monday's game between the Padres and Brewers.

The Coliseum in Oakland was fine in its heyday. But as usual multipurpose stadiums don't benefit anyone. As with San Diego, the bigger loser appears to have been the baseball team.

So do I. It was fun doing it for a couple years when I had the time and resources. I'm glad someone has taken up the slack.

I remember doing these a few years ago and, not only was it easy, but it was fun. I hope you continue to do it through the year.

It appears that some good home cooking livened the Padres' bats a little. Going into the game, the Pads had a bunch of players under the Mendoza line. But 9 runs on 11 hits improved that some.

Eck was simply great as a reliever. Starting made him a decent Major League pitcher. Relieving made him a HOFer.

One bright side was that Dodger and Giant fans were able to agree on something, getting NL baseball back to New York. The result, of course, was the Mets. Well, maybe not such a bright side after all?

I have gotten into some crazy arguments with people who think they know their baseball history. They just won't admit when they are wrong. I usually finally just give up.

I will be at the Padres home opener today against the Dodgers.

I am not sure that I wish it a happy birthday. But I do wish the two leagues would agree on the issue.
