If you don’t lose at least two minutes of your life right now taking a deep dive into these stats then I have to question your priorities. The Sporting News was the best.

As requested.........
"It is a joke.
The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it.
These guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the f--- they went and they thought they figured the f---ing game out.
They don't know s---.
A bunch of f---ing nerds running the game.
You can't slide into second base.
You can't take out the f---ing catcher because Posey was in the wrong position and they are going to change all the rules.
You can't pitch inside anymore.
I'd like to knock some of these f---ers on their ass.
Ryan Braun is a f---ing steroid user.
He gets a standing ovation on "Opening Day" in Milwaukee.
How do you explain that to your kid after throwing people under the bus and lying through his f---ing teeth?
They don't have anyone passing the f---ing torch to these people.
If I had acted like that, you don't go in that f---ing dugout.
There are going to be 20 f---ing guys waiting for you."

When I was a kid, about 50% of college basketball coaches looked like dudes who would’ve gotten whacked in Goodfellas for talking too much. Other old guys will confirm this statement to be true.

Nolan Ryan’s arm was so damaged by the first 5000 innings of his career he was only able to strike out 16 Blue Jays when he no-hit them at age 44. It’s a cautionary tale for all young pitchers.

Two players hit 300 home runs during the 80s. You're looking at them. Only one is in the Hall of Fame. Both should be.

You can keep the giant video boards and high-volume audio assaults. Just give me a green field, a cold beer, and the sound of a catcher’s mitt popping.

Howard Cosell narrating Halftime Highlights was the best part of the week every football season when I was a kid. It was downright fucking magical and other grown men will attest to the accuracy of this statement.

Just a guy with 39 successful combat flight missions on his resume about to dig in with a guy who was a machine gunner at Omaha Beach on D-Day behind the plate. Two men.

Nothing said “September” when I was a kid quite like an NFL game played on a baseball diamond.

If you’re of a certain age, you probably still believe this is what Saturday afternoons should sound like. And you’re right.

Hey, I’ve got an idea, let’s all watch the 1985 Bears defense destroy the NFL for a few minutes.
From the “Truth is Stranger than Fiction” department - it took 57 for me to make my first hole in one - 3 months and 1 day later, I made my second one. Same hole - #4 at Eagle Watch. 5 iron from 168 yards. What a crazy game.

If people only talked about the stuff they were qualified to speak on intelligently, you’d immediately eliminate 98% of social media.

Back in my day, we used to wait every 10 minutes for scores and we considered ourselves lucky to get them.
