Have you watched any old baseball games lately?

I started watching the 2001 world series which was a classic.

I recently watch the 1988 COlorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks on ESPN Classic. Bubba Wells showed out that game.

You mean '98. Neither franchise existed in '88.

Nats should be raising a banner today, is what it is.

At least they didn’t raise it in an empty stadium like I thought they would

 

[macbk]

Nah that ain't right....

 

[GreenNGold89]

Wouldn't happen but can you imagine both of them re-joining the Astors in 2021?

That '91 WS was a hoot. Watched all of game 7 again last night. Not sure I can do it again without fast forwarding to the end.

2011 WS Cardinals vs. Rangers or '05 White Sox vs Astros. I can't remember much from that '05 series...wasn't it lackluster?

Yea won’t happen

Very lack luster, unless you are a white Sox fan.

As a White Sox fan it was lackluster

[アミーゴ]

No one likes Curt Schilling

Crazy. Both teams bullpens were legendary.

 

[rolaholic]

Sheesh

The sky was really the limit for dude

 

[madj55]

There’s no way this season happens. I’m bummed.

Have to turn my attention to the damn ********

 

[stanfan]

yep, its a wrap. 60,000 people in one confined space? Probably half of those in the danger zone of 40+..

sucks.

 

[g-time]

They’d probably start with no fans honestly.

Just give me Mookie in a Dodgers uniform!

What y’all think about how the quality of play will be like? On one hand, it’ll be crazy to see 4 months of the world’s best players play with no overnight distractions like partying, traveling, or other things that could impact focus. On another hand, players will be missing their families, worried about their health, or just thrown off by the whole nature of everything being proposed.

Regardless, I’d be surprised if more players are against this than for it. If rosters are expanded then you’d have Triple A heads doing anything for a shot and of course a Major League check. In my opinion if everyone involved (players, staff, etc) goes by the things put into place, and doesn’t breach by leaving unauthorized to potentially contract the virus, I can actually see it working.

 

[domogotsole]

I think alot more may want to play than not. Especially the smaller contract players who need thier pay.
