I do recall. LaVar Burton played LeFlore, it felt like it was a hit as far as made for TV films go. I've assumed it was trying to capture the acclaim/ratings that was received for another sports film, The Brian Piccolo Story. Fell short of that marker. Great work on adding 5 New Players...

Twins Alert on the Grid. Assist from Coolhand on the Lea selection, though he was not a New Player Qualifier. I think I have used him on the Expos/Nats > No Hitter category. Still it helped with a Single Digit Rarity Score of 8. My 2 Newbies are Colume and Crowder. General was part of the...

If Kershaw can get credit for a victory in the the matchup, he will tie Scherzer at 218 Career Ws.

Yeah, odds are Ryan is going to hit Free Agency, regardless of which franchise employs him when the time comes.

I sit pretty much as far as one can in the lower bowl from the Marching Band. I hear them fantastically well.

Eric Chavez was New Player #1436 in the A's/100 RBIs Cube. Bonus, because I would have guessed I had used him before, more than once actually. He knocked more than 100 in 4 different seasons, 6X Gold Glove winner and a Silver Slugger. As an extra Hint for today's Gridders, he finished his...

A huge domino in that aspect is Skubal with the Tigers and 1 year remaining before FA. If Detroit owners pony up the dough AND Skubal accepts, they should be formidable with the pieces they have as well as can add. Skubal is a Boras client though, so there's also a solid chance he's elsewhere.

The key above all else is keeping Lopez and Ryan. If a new owner comes in and extends Ryan, then there's hope. Trade off either/both of those pieces, key up Free Fallin'.

Despite having several actors whose work and projects I generally enjoy, based on the trailer I don't think there's a chance in hell I am going to check out The Roses. Preview makes it look dreadful. It's a remake of The War of the Roses with Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman.

I presumed Hatch & Kriske were either involved in the Trade Deadline purge or call-ups from the Saints to replenish the Active 26-man Roster. Nope. After further review, Waiver Wire pickups from the Royals & Cubs respectively. "Hatch & Kriske" is going to be the name of the 70's era Detective...

In general there are several institutions of higher learning that indeed are desperate to keep the enrollment numbers up through bolstering their athletic teams rosters.

The Minnesota Twins. Get to know 'em. I got into the car after golfing in the 5th inning and listened to conclusion. I can't recall a Twins game in which while listening there were 2 pitchers who not only was I completely unaware that they were on the Roster, had never heard of beforehand...

St Olaf Men's Hockey Roster is 28 players. Tuition and housing is a $77,000 tab. 28 X 77,000 = $2,156,000.00

The benefit is a roster of 60-80 football players who likely going to college elsewhere or not at all are paying some tuition. Hopefully for the school they eventually become donors, or send their offspring when they are college hunting.

The end game for most I think is to increase enrollment thus tuition and eventually donations.
