Would be a huge loss for the organization. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,062 Posted 15 hours ago 4256 hits for Rose, 1 hit for The Reaper. They can do what they want at HOF now. I’m just glad he didn’t get the satisfaction of being inducted while he was alive. All that said, he was a great ballplayer. I admired him when I was a lad. And I was a huge Expos fan too. Alas… RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my most pressing memories from the 2004 championship season was every female having a huge crush on Johnny Damon. Fairly decent player in his own right to be fair, but that always made me laugh. I moved to Boston in 2004, and lived on The Fenway so my entire neighborhood erupted into a parade that night in October when they bet the Yankees. It was really dangerous. The police never came by and shoveled their horse poop and left it all over our sidewalk. I did not have a crush on Damon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
