Wow.

John Smoltz was prophetic.

What did he say?

EDIT moments later: Phew.

Before the homer he said something along the lines of "I thought Bryce Harper would have to do something big for the US to have success in the tournament. I just didn't think it would have to be in his last at bat."

LOL

You're in good company.

That asshole takes credit for everything he had no influence over, and deflects blame for everything he's done wrong.

Did Dementia Don:
Take credit?
Deflect blame?
Stay silent because he's a coward when faced with a difficult choice?

I don't get the joke or where the numbers come from.

WAR is a baseball stat.

Wins Above Replacement, or how much better a guy is compared to an average guy. Those are career WAR numbers for the best ever.

Ted Williams served in WW II and Korea, two wars. Most guys that served only served in one or no wars.

Okay, I get the numbers now and honor Ted's service, but isn't it kind of a lame joke to plug him into the list? What is his number, anyhow?

I attended Walter Johnson High School, btw.

Loving ABS.

Supposedly, "If a fair ball is deflected by a fielder and goes out of play, it is a ground-rule double"

[GoCubsGo]

Think that refers to the foul walls, if it goes over the outfield fence without touching the ground it's a homer. Lots of instances of in and out of an outfielders glove and over the fence.

Ah, my AI source stands corrected. That does make sense, but with baseball rules you never know.

It would be an 'own goal' in soccer.
