Do they still sell jorts? Or do you have to go vintage/ thrift store?
I'm going to Radio Shack to buy one of those headsets like the broadcasters use. It seems as soon as you put them on, you get 100 times smarter.

That doesn't look like much, but a 117 OPS+ would be the 9th highest by a player 41 or older since 1900, and the only players with higher OPS+ have been Barry Bonds (2006-07), Stan Musial (1962), Carlton Fisk (1989-90), Honus Wagner (1915-16), and Luke Appling (1949).

In addition, with 13 home runs so far he's on pace for 31 for the year, joining this group of players who have hit 30 at age 41 or older:

(crickets)

Yep, Ibanez is on pace to become the first player in major league history to hit 30 at age 41 or older.

Korean player finds black player too black

“Youman is the most difficult player to play against. His face is too black, so it is hard to bat because his white teeth and the ball confuses me when he smiles on the mound. So, I suffered a lot."
