BigRedBuster Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 LOL...season opener for Cavs at home to raise their championship banner is tonight. Is anyone going to be there? Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Cool stat lines. One thing that is also mind blowing. This guy in only his second year in the league mind you is going from only playing in 2 games at the very beginning of the season straight to playing in the World Series after being injured for basically the entire regular season and almost all of the post season. It's nuts when you think about it. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 This is a great story. The words don't come as easily as they did 71 years ago, but 97-year-old Jim Schlegel can still rattle off the Cubs starting lineup from the last Cubs World Series, in 1945. Schlegel was there for games six and seven. He'd been in the Army and was at Pearl Harbor in 1941. He came home to Chicago a few days before the 1945 World Series began, and he hopped a streetcar to Wrigley Field on the morning of game six, looking for tickets. ”I got there seven o clock in the morning, I went on Waveland Avenue, there was a short line already, so I just stood there in line, a policeman come by, and he says, soldier, what the hell are you doing here, and I said, I want to get in the game, he says, come here, you don't have to pay for a game, you're a soldier,” Schlegel said. Lots of returning Servicemen got free tickets to the World Series that year. Schlegel's family is hoping he can make it to a game this time around. They're asking donors to contribute to a GoFundMe page. Their goal? Come up with ten thousand dollars, which is enough for one or two tickets. As for predictions, Schlegel doesn't see the Cubs losing the series, like they did 71 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Sounded like he was gone. For the second year in a row. Really glad he's back. For the second year in a row. Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Loser: The A’s. They not only are stuck playing in a dump, but now don’t have anyone to pay their mortgage. The A’s, who had been receiving about $34 million in revenue sharing, now won’t get a dime within three years since they reside in one of baseball’s biggest marketplaces. The slumlord owners of the A's will now have to actually invest their own money into the team. What a concept!
