Thesis of article:

Tim Tebow is analogous to Ichiro!

I posit that this thesis is silly on its face.

No, the thesis is that Lin is analogous to Karl Spooner. Thanks for reading and thanks for playing. But seriously, Suzuki and Tebow were both successful at lower levels and are throwbacks.

Great handle, by the way.

We didn't start the fire...it was always burning, since the world's been turning....

I've been told that Fanne Foxe (I think that's how it's spelled...) is/was/is better in the sack than Marge. But I'm not going to tell you anything about what I know about Darva Conger.

And I still call him the Ozzard of Whizz, because he's still the only guy who can p*ss off more people with one sentence than yours truly. (MGL needs at least three...)

The Argentine Firecracker!

Yeah, but two of them are unintelligible so I'm not sure they count.

Wasn't this already submitted? The blog post is a week old.

This is like a hall of fame thread (except for me). Nearly all of the posters are from back in the primer day. I'm sure the thread will die now that I've posted, but I love seeing the old gang back together.
