great win.... intense feel to the game, not sure if it was harper's presence or the headhunting but more energy in the park today than i've felt in a while.

hopefully this'll launch another streak...

Wow crazy fucking game for Fresh Prince...

Nice to win one vs a decent team in front of the home crowd, on national TV

Harold Baines is a HOFer. Posey and Bum are too. Book it.

I refuse to acknowledge that. He is such a bad HOFer, it is best for my health just to pretend it isn’t so.

No game today, but it is the anniversary of the strike.

Apparently the pic of this girl is in the HOF. You can read about her and her friend Rickey Henderson and the strike in the link.

He was on a 61 HR pace.

He was on a 61 HR pace.

I think about the year that could have been for him (and the fans) every time I hear of that strike.

Wasn't he still booming the HRs the next year when he broke his foot? Oy.
