What's the best thing to do when you have a guy in a table-top league who insists on doing stuff that is clearly not anticipated by the rules, but not technically prohibited?
Jose Ramirez is fascinating, because he doesn't look at all like one of the five best players in baseball, but he is. He doesn't look like he would be fast, but he is. Sort of in the Rick Reuschel/deceptive body class.
I just read on Wikipedia that Cal Abrams, died 1997, was buried in his Dodger uniform. Isn't that sweet?
Al Simmons, 1924-1944, 68.3 WAR. Hack Wilson, 1923-1938, 38.7 WAR. Both came up as center fielders, opposed one another in the 1929 World Series. Who do you like?
TIL that the Red Sox knew what they were doing when they gave Cedanne Rafaela all that money.
Never do to a dog what the law wouldn't allow you to do to a politician.
Kind of a deep dive, but I'm working on something for which I need to classify Babe Ruth in 1918 as either a pitcher or a position player. So was Ruth that year more valuable as a pitcher, or playing the field?
The Netflix show The Confession Killer, about Henry Lee Lucas, is just outstanding. I had wondered for 40 years what really happened there, and the show offers an explanation of the events that is 100% convincing.
Back in my day, we didn't need no tents to shut down the campus.
Announcer mentions a pitcher throwing a "heavy ball". Heaviest ball I ever saw was Scott Erickson, with the Twins in the early 90s, later the Orioles. You'd see hitters square the pitch up, and it would be a ground ball to second. Remember him?
Perhaps the issue is not so much whether any pitcher in the future COULD win 300 games, but whether any pitcher will be allowed to.

@billjamesonline I’ve been harping on this for decades (probably because I read the idea in one of your Baseball Abstract books in the 80s).
@billjamesonline In 1871 the NA allowed a home team to choose the ump from a list of five names submitted by the visitors. In 1878 the NL instructed home teams to pay umps $5 per game. in 1879 NL named first umpire staff--20 men from which teams could choose. Umps were not paid by NL until 1883.
@billjamesonline I hope he stays good for a long time and walks into the hall of fame.
@billjamesonline He’s like the Charles Barkley of baseball
@billjamesonline Didn't you once point out that guys w/ fireplug bodies (Yogi, Puckett) are often much better than you'd expect b/c they don't *look* like great ballplayers, and have to prove how good they are at every level? I feel like it's in the New Historical Abstract
I was thinking today of asking which player from another team is your favorite- whenever I think of this question Jose Ramirez is first on my list
Like: "Uh, I think we have a loophole here... is it ok if I play 1979 Matt Alexander 162 games?" Because that's what I did... but then again, I was eleven years old...
@billjamesonline I’m interested to know more about this!
@billjamesonline Just like in real baseball, there are unwritten rules in a table-top league. Do whatever the equivalent of a fastball to the ribs is.
@billjamesonline Simply don’t allow him in the hall of fame when he retires.
@billjamesonline Need to establish a culture where it won't be accepted. If someone finds a loophole, they should talk to the league before exploiting it. If they don't, they should understand it will be closed immediately, not next season, and they won't be allowed to take advantage of it.
@billjamesonline I voted kick him out. It’s going to be one non stop battle with the guy chasing the loophole(s). Table top is supposed to be fun. Playing with folks like this can ruin the fun for others.
@billjamesonline @peckinpah_s Well, a minor correction..I actually got the anecdote out of the Historical Abstract page 575..it was Joe Pepitone getting waylaid by Boyer after a practical joke..said he had double vision and remarked he never knew he was that strong Glad to correct my statement
I'm not a big fan of the charcoal uniform base that makes the jersey look like the air filter on your vacuum cleaner if you've been lax at changing it.
