I mostly lurk these days. Still a huge Rockets fan who has followed them through all of these tough years. But obviously not much to post about.

As a child of the 80s, baseball was king and the Bash Bros ruled. Also Strawberry, Nolan Ryan, and Andre Dawson stood out.

Tony Gwynn / Greg Maddox. ( Especially when they faced each other)

I knew they were both really, really good while watching as a kid, but I didn't realize just what kind of greatness I was witnessing at the moment. It was much later in life that I looked back and appreciated the talent that I was watching.
