The Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

Ken Griffey Jr and Sr. Are VIP's tonight to watch the father son combo play basketball.

They played together in Seattle when Jr was a rook.
The Griffey’s were actually good at their careers. Bronny doesn’t even deserve to be in the G League. He should be playing overseas.
 
Man, Fernando Valenzuela passed away at 63 years of age. R.I.P.
I missed that!
He is possibly the first baseball player that I remember hearing the name of.
Fernando mania was running wild when I was tiny and I can honestly remember that name before any others!
52, I was so close to being a Dodgers fan!
😎
 
Stats and accolades be damned, some guys just belong in the Hall, for nothing more than their impact and influence on the game!
This guy is one of them imo.
Yea, Fernando was Los Angeles in the 80's. The look to the Heavens when he was pitching was epic..
 
Good news about Freddie.
I can’t wait until Friday night!
In Fernando's Rookie year he pitched 11 complete games and had 8 SHUTOUTS.

The starting pitchers these days barely pitch 5 innings and you have to look around hard for a shutout league wide.

Amazing pitcher way before his time, he would dominate with that screwball in this fastball era.

What about Babe Ruth?

Or ... did you have any friends that played baseball before you heard of Fernando?

I mean..... C'mon man.... you're just talking crazy.

I just woke up, didn't wanna wake up my roommate and the above crossed my mind and I started giggling at my own thoughts...and THAT woke my roommate up.

Anyway, thanks for the early morning laughs. 🤣

I was like maybe 4?! I can vividly remember seeing Fernando on tv and my dad talking about him.
He was a product of the time.
My little guy who just turned 5, knows Shohei Ohtani, just from hearing me and his brother talk. He probably doesn’t know who Babe Ruth is yet.
🤷‍♂️
