4:46 coffee in hand watching the sun come up. CENTRAL TIME FOR LIFE.

Central time for life . . . until about Thanksgiving when the sun goes down at 4:00 for 2-3 months.

I do occasionally get misty eyed as I'm playing afternoon golf throughout the winter watching 6:00 sunsets.

That's my favorite time of the year

I'm sure you just get used to it, but it's just such a shock to my system whenever I'm on Central time in the winter lol. It's definitely easier for me to get up early on Central time.

Switch pitcher. Let's ride.

In that mock, Vance Honeycutt was still available at #24. I’d rather take him.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We dont draft hitters early tho

Will the Braves pitch around Aaron Judge on this road trip?

Willie Mays was an incredible talent and if you say he’s the greatest player ever I will not argue against you.

But that Bonds 1990-1993 is the best for year run for a player post integration, pre PED

34 HR/41 SB AVERAGE BTW

I workshopped this with my dad, and mentioned in the Mays thread, but I think there as 13 players (sports teams only, no Tiger, Serena, etc) that are “impeachable” where you cannot deny their on field legacy and are true icons of American culture. I respect this thread’s opinions so much I’m curious what y’all think (my Barry Sanders inclusion might be biased)

Wayne Gretzky
Joe Montana
Barry Sanders
Jim Brown
Tom Brady
Bill Russell
Michael Jordan
Lebron James
Babe Ruth
Jackie Robinson
Ted Williams
Hank Aaron
Willie Mays

Shame on you for leaving Peyton Manning off that list.

F Lebron.

Probably the only name on the list id have an argument with, and its just because I just dont like him.

Oh yea

Pretty good list. How about Bird and Magic? The NBA was struggling with ratings until they came along. Their talent and rivalry took the NBA to another level. No denying their legacy from college and the NBA.

I agree. I’d also put Mantle and DiMaggio on the list. Barry Sanders and Bill Russell would have to come off. They were greats, but I don’t really see how you put them in the icon category with Ruth and Jordan.
