Some awesome names there. How in the love of God did they come up with the Cleveland Infants?????????????

I would have liked to have been an Apostle. I played on a religious softball team once, and I'm telling you it was hell! Everyone wanted me to conform and not taunt the opposition.

Assuming he’s alive, sign Diego Segui to be the opener. Odds are he could still post an ERA below that of our current openers

I also think that when they introduce all the Pilots, for the dead ones like Ray Oyler they should show their tombstones and urns.

Which makes me wonder: if they ever did something like that for the Sonics, how would they handle John Brisker? Maybe show a partially buried skeleton in the Ugandan jungle with a big question mark on screen?

And I was a grad student at the U
