I read the plaque after I posted this and immediately noticed the mention of an MVP in 1931. In 1931, Klein finished second in the BWAA MVP voting to winner Frankie Frisch. But it turns out that he DID win the MVP awarded by The Sporting News in 1931 (and 1932).

Unfortunately because Cheers is more famous than Sudden Sam.

FAKE NEWS! The creators of Cheers have denied this every time they've ever been asked. An oft-repeated myth, pure fiction.

Braves-Dodgers is such a "can't both teams lose?" matchup. I have trouble even watching their games since I hate them both so much. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I have no strong rooting interest in Brewers-Padres, I like them both, will be happy with whoever wins there.

It not being especially close is a statement on Schmidt, not Robinson. I have no idea what /s means. Sarcasm? And in the end, it's just baseball. Chill.

Did this guy reply to me then block me? Over Mike Schmidt? That's some lame-ass twitter shit right there. I am curious what he said, though, if anyone can give me a screen shot.

Says any objective observer. Schmidt was as close to Brooks' equal defensively as you can get and his offensive numbers (and three MVPs) put him way ahead.

RIP Bill Giles, 92. Not the greatest team President that the Phillies ever had, but an important figure in their history, a promotions genius, and the man who brought Harry Kalas, The Hot Pants Patrol, and the Phanatic to Philadelphia.
