I really believe he's one of the most dominant lefties ever.


Agreed, everyone talks about Sandy, Randy, Lefty and even Kershaw but Rube deserves to be in the conversation IMO...

His strikeout numbers stood as an outlier for over half a century until Sandy.


It's crazy.


And just like Koufax, no twighlight to his career. Just done.


Hell, I don't think he lived to 40.

Yep, 37 when he died.


TB got him. My Grandmas Dad was about the same age a decade later when TB got him. Different times...

Good, now I don't feel so bad about the text, hopefully Mrs. Stoker didn't hear the phone...

Don't worry, she's up watching Live PD.

I have read a bunch about Rube, he was an original guy no doubt...

His life is nuts.


Was he too much of a drunk for the big leagues at the end?

I know he played minor league ball right up till he died. But that was three seasons in the minors. Be like Chris Sale playing for the Saint Paul Saints next year, kinda.

So, what the fuck man are y'all moving to Tejas or what pendejo?

We are fixing our house up in Florida so it will be able to be put on market probably around late January. Dana still hasn’t received word from any hospitals so we are waiting on that. Looking at houses in the New Braunfels area is sort of pointless when we haven’t gotten the other things sorted out yet. I have started packing some of the house and storing in storage until we are ready to move. Need to get house pretty close to empty and clean for the realtor to take pictures of the house to be able to post them online. Very tough to do with 2 young kids and 2 miniature horses.

Put the kids ON the horses.
