I want to imagine this call playing out with the Delta Force theme underneath

This picture is of Ty Cobb and Jimmy Austin. A high school teammate, Brian, modeled his hitting on Cobb’s, except from the right side. He was the best baseball player I ever played with, by a light year. Hit two inside the park home runs in a single inning. Took pickoff throws from centerfield for the out at second Read more

Oh Jesus Fucking Christ I can already see it. They’ll replace Bucko with one of Jake Jabs’ tigers or something. Read more
