Stanley throwing the ball to the backstop.

10/25/86 for me.
-
Abreu's 2022 Statcast looked like ass, so it's not surprising that he fell to earth.
-
That could make a good gritty reboot.
-
Wilbur was an architect who lived in San Fernando Valley. Rural America... Yeah, right...
-
Flipper couldn't find spare time to compete because he was actually too busy knocking up dolphins and then abandoning them and their babies for that Jezebel "Lorelei."
-
"His duties." That's really messed up and humanistic of you.
-
Pokemon didn't reach the US until '98 alongside the cartoon. This was after the card industry crashed with the ending of the junk wax era in '93. The one notable card collectible that did come out right after the junk wax era was Magic: the Gathering. I'm not sure if it peaked in popularity until much later though.

Flipper was more athletic for sure, but Mr Ed competed in more sporting events during his series.
-
Flipper is in a tier with Lassie and other non-sports related animals.

I know what I know. Gus Mr Ed Ed (the chimpanzee that plays baseball with Joey Tribbiani) Sir Buddy "Air Bud" Fram MVP (Most Valuable/Vertical Primate) MXP (Most Xtreme Primate)
-
Mr Ed is one of the most popular shows of all time! More influential and important than Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones or whatever. Aside from the finale of MASH, it's Mr Ed.

That post was an obvious joke post buddy. It was all in italics.

In terms of popularity: Baseball card boom of the wax pack era (late 80's - early 90's) > now > 60's It's just the truth. Just cause you're not into it, doesn't mean others aren't.
-
Actually, the best players of all time were from my childhood and when I collected cards 1983 - 1992. Players before or after that weren't s***. That's when players were the most popular and were kids really liked baseball!
-
You're wrong. Topps posted record sales in 2020 and 2021. Ebay sold $2B in cards in 2020.

On May 17, 1947, a seagull flew over Fenway Park and dropped a three-pound smelt on Kinder while he was pitching for the St. Louis Browns. Nevertheless, Kinder beat Boston 4–2.
-
He didn't lead all SS's, Bo Bichette did. Xander was also the only SS of the top 6 in hits who didn't get 20 HR's or 60 RBI's. His 21 GDIP were most in that group and second overall.
-
It's just weird to use differing periods when we were obviously comparing Xander and Story at the time Story was signed.
-
Houck needs a specific spot and for him to maximize his arsenal. Watching him now just feels like he's holding back.
-
Worked for David Wells.
-
Because the MLB does a s*** job of marketing its stars. I already said this. MLB spends too much time marketing "the game" as a "past time" or whatever. It's dumb. To bring in fans they need the superstars of today and tomorrow. There are HOFers playing right now that people are taking for granted.
-
But we don't collect those baseball cards anymore so they must not be good players!
-
It makes my heart worse more so than whatever the ratings are.
-
Why not? Some of the guys today would put those guys on the f***ing bench.
