Recruiting Football Talk VII

[peaygolf]

I wonder how many guys here have heard of Jimmy Foxx.. Foxx was a beast, but he is one of those forgotten yet awesome old players...like Johnny "The Big Cat" Mize, Hank "The Hebrew Hammer" Greenberg and others.

We could go down a rabbit hole..........

1. Joe Carter Homerun vs Phillies
2. Gibson Homerun off Eckersley
3.Reggie's3 Homerun day
4. Jack Morris gem of a game vs Braves in World Series. 10 innings complete game win.
5. Luis Gonzalez game 7 single off Sandman to win WS for Diamondbacks.

You're a Dodger....how in the crap cam you put Joe Carters home run ahead of Kirk's miracle?...Eck was f'n unhittable that year and KG was up there on one freaking leg...one of the damndest things I've ever seen in sports.

That one didn’t cause me to bust my hand open when I was jumping around… It also didn’t get me yelled at by my dad to shut up and go to bed.

I just sat there in disbelief with chills running all over me...and I have always hated the Dodgers...especially hated them in the 80s and 90s.

There are plenty of regulars still here. Not sure what forum you have been reading. Posters do come and go but for the most part, this core group of posters has sustained this board way the hell longer than any other message board I have ever seen.

There are some for sure but hardly what I would call the "core". No offense, but there are 0 remaining that people actually came here to read for many years.

Morris game is often forgotten, but never should be!

That was one of the greatest pitching duels of all time...Smoltz was almost as good.

The news about Soda is hard to digest this morning. Hopefully she can tune back in soon and enjoy the time I had Coach V give her a shout out on Cameo. Some of y'all may have missed it the first time I shared it, enjoy..

Stuff of legend right there. Bravo

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Lol...those poor kids are all scarred for life...and it is hilarious.

 

[DarthVol1]

I put Gibson #2.
My #1 has to be Joe Carter's walk off World Series winning home run off Mitch Williams.

Maz walk off to beat the 1960 Yankees in the WS.

 

[DarthVol1]

The Sid Bream slide #1 for the majority of Braves fans. I was too young for the Hank Homerun to pass Ruth

As a Pirates fan, this cemented my hatred of all things Braves ever since. Hurt worse that Sid was a former Pirate.

This part of VN...the good ol RF...is really just a large dysfunctional family....SaS is one of the ones that keep us glued together.

I'm not well liked or loved, and that is my fault, but SaS always has my back, and she is one of the very few that can rein me in...I don't give a crap what a lot of people here think about me, but she is one of the few that I do care what they think, if she tells me I am over the line...I listen.

I like you McGill. You are cantankerous at times and care too much about little things, but passionate about the Vols and have a great testimony you bring out at appropriate times. I always stop to read your posts and would miss you if you were gone.

Well...we then got our hearts ripped out by the Twins...so that had to be fun for you..

If Lonnie had just looked at his f'n 3rd base coach instead of looking at the Twins players...

 

[BigSteve09]

Been thinking about her all day. Need some good news

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Sooo...we are not getting Sanders..?

This is why I don't keep up with it like I used to...it doesn't really matter though, we get who we get, so getting all bent about recruiting and recruiting losses is just stress I don't want in my life anymore.

We need more money..

What did I miss? Didn't see anything go his thread.

You forgot the "no offense" tag. Lol

When I first read about SweetasSoda it took my breath away
Praying for her healing and her family for comfort

I'm finding it very hard to focus on any task that requires a minimum of concentration.

That was awesome

Lonnie Smith stopped running.

I just about run out of the road when I came around a curve and saw a spectacular sunset in a clearing. It was so beautiful. More pink though. I do love an orange sunset!

Remember when reflecting on life or a life to cherish the moments you do have. See your sunsets and sunrises today. I can only imagine SaS would want that for each of you.

Have to view the lack of updates as a positive at this point.

 

[WesTnVol]

I keep checking back for news. I’m terrified it’s bad but hopeful it’s good.
I often pray for God’s will to be done but really I want my will to be done.
We are lifting you up SaS

Top 5 greatest throw ever?

June 5, 1989

Maybe but the George Brett crapped in my pants video on YouTube is an all time classic.
