Recruiting Football Talk VIII

As a Yankee fan.........I hate the Sox, but this will NEVER happen again.


Not since 1941 has anyone in baseball has completed a season with a batting average of .400 or higher.

Boston Red Sox slugger and Hall of Famer Ted Williams was the last to accomplish this feat. And he crossed the threshold in an unforgettable performance.

The 1941 season ended for the Red Sox on Sept. 28. The Red Sox were in Philadelphia playing a doubleheader against the Athletics. Boston defeated Philadelphia in both games, ending the season in second place in the American League.


But the Red Sox’s two wins were overshadowed by a historic day at the plate for Williams.
He played left field for the Red Sox in both games, entering the day with a batting average of .3995 – which would be rounded up to .400. But Williams insisted on playing to ensure there was no doubt about his mark.

Williams was 4-for-5 at the plate in the first game raising his batting average to .404.

In the second game Williams went 2-for-3 to finalize his average for the season at .406.

I’ll have to check that one out

I used to love trying craft stuff but I guess I’m getting old and just enjoy the simplicity now😂

I can do a sour in the summer, stouts or porters in the winter, and pumpkin beers in the fall but typically only 1 in an evening
Love me a stout and/or porter. Honey wheats. Honey browns. Belgian wheats. Ambers.

The Imperial kind of reminds me of an amber with a hint of 'skunk' on the back end. ('Skunk', think Moosehead sour notes.)

Been in on Pacifico lately. Bit of a honey finish, but maltier (I think) than other Cervezas. Also like Sierra Nevada in the fall, crispier, lighter, and aromatic (yes) aromatic Hop to an IPA.

After a bike ride im usually a Hazy IPA feller.

Anywho, Pacific is brewed with Newsome malt & Pelosi Yeast from the north - which makes it better😎. I kid. That would be a nutty beer.

I'm more of a guzzler when it comes to beer, for some reason. I try to go with the low carb versions as much as possible. This limits beers that are richer in flavor. I typically will drink corona Premier, Yuengling flight, mich ultra. I don't like beer in cans, I think it has a metallic taste. I prefer beer in a bottle. I absolutely love beer on tap. If I had a tap at home I'd be an alcoholic. I literally will drink a 12oz in 1-2 min and don't even realize it. I look down and think "where did that go?"
