^ Seems like a decent bet. I wanna bet against it finishing.

Oh I didn’t bet it. Should have been more clear. Just posting the line. That line does not give me a good feeling about MLB.
 
1979


That would be the last time the Pirates were in the World Series
 
Fuk you Sid Bream

And the umpire that took McSherry’s place when McSherry fell ill early in the game. Guy had no fucking clue what the strike zone was.

I'm just glad my favorite player won the cup eventually, in Florida

RC, no doubt BB was glad too! Fond memories for the both of you but these days what might really make him happy is when July 1st rolls around every year!

:birthday:

The calendar has shifted to July, and that can mean only one thing: It's time for Mets fans everywhere to wish each other a Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Why? On Monday, 56-year-old Bobby Bonilla will collect a check for $1,193,248.20 from the New York Mets, as he has and will every July 1 from 2011 through 2035.

What happened?
In 2000, the Mets agreed to buy out the remaining $5.9 million on Bonilla's contract. However, instead of paying Bonilla the $5.9 million at the time, the Mets agreed to make annual payments of nearly $1.2 million for 25 years starting July 1, 2011, including a negotiated 8% interest. At the time, Mets ownership was involved with a Bernie Madoff account that promised double-digit returns over the course of the deal, and the Mets were poised to make a significant profit -- if the Madoff account delivered. It did not.

Blame it on Bernie! :yes:
