Also Koloff and George the Animal Steele were old, passed from somewhat natural causes I believe.

Feaster should be an employee of the school board as any other teacher and maybe is a Union member. Interesting development possibly coming from this.

He doesn't even have balls, he has whatever balls evolved into and he has become an evolutionary species built from pure testosterone to gamble with 5k as his company was going under.

Read "Cry Havoc" , Hitler completely turned the German economy from Great Depression to the 50s golden age. And he did it in about 5 years. And while the majority of it was military industrial complex, policies he put in place helped spur the consumer economy as well.

Deductible and Premiums both went up. Range of services previously covered went up in terms of co-pays.

re: Will we ever see a unanimous HOF electee in MLB?

If Jeter is unanimous and Griffey was not, that would be the final nail in the coffin of delegitimization of the HoF. They can sit there without Bonds and Clemens and others and vote Griffey in at 99.3% or whatever but if Jeter gets 100% then it's all a sham.

The Pelicans can of Hield becomes a superstar and the team can get good pieces. They have their star. They made some games with the Warriors a couple years ago in the 1st rd. They have to build an antithesis team to the Warriors. They are super young but so is GS.
re: How good was Cal Ripken Jr? Was he a centerpiece?

Perhaps Jeter was the wrong one to use. Who is someone that was a centerpiece? Maybe like a Kris Bryant modern day. Can Ripken be the best player on a team that also wins championships?

Elections are about playing the strategy. Trump proved that. You can everyone in New York and the West Coast against you entirely as he does, it's not enough to win. Republicans have set up the districts and states to maintain a majority in Congress for generations and to always be in play for the Senate.
The Dems get a great start in presidential elections. However as they go further left, they will lose that white middle class working base. They are counting on Hispanics, but once they get settled in younfind Hispanics aren't as monolithic a voting group nor or they that left leaning. Trump got 30%. After all he did he got 30% roughly. They figure out this immigration thing that number goes up and cements Texas and Florida for good.
Let them nominate Warren. She can be the woman version of Mondale.

One of the most underrated or better under hyped players from the 80s/90s to me was Cal Ripken. He won an MVP and World Series at the beginning of his career, however his longevity could have led to many forgetting that later in his career. He did take an MVP in '91 but no more titles.
Was he a franchise guy? With over three thousand hits and 400 HRs the numbers say yeah. But his incredible longevity and being "The Iron Man" how much of those numbers were simply because he played everyday and never took off, and played for so long. Was he a good player who got lucky with injuries and was able to extrapolate his stats accordingly. Had Griffey played so many consecutive games he would have blown every stat to hell and back.
Was Ripken a guy to build a team around like a Jeter? Or was he a good piece to have?
