From Good Times, to Coming to America, to the West Wing…he always brought it to whatever role.

And one of my favorite movies as a kid, The Beastmaster.

Immortalized in my mind as Cleo McDowall…RIP.

Turns out he (and Potsie) did learn everything they know from the big competitor:

Been sitting here trying to figure out what I knew him from, and it wasn’t anything you listed. It was his role as Lisa’s father in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (and later Will’s stepdad).

I did too. Mike and Frank had a great dynamic. A little bit of clashing, but overall it was a very comforting show. One that I frequently had on as a backdrop that I could tune in and out of.

Watch the Hall put Rose in next summer.

If they did, I would never watch another baseball game again.

I mean it was a "lifetime" ban.

My thoughts on Pete are to this day still very mixed. As a Reds fan growing up, he was considered larger than life. I was obviously a fan and focused a still have a large collection of Pete cards and memorabilia I collected as a kid. I was very pro-HOF for a long time, but started to sour at some point because Pete just couldn't help but continue to say stupid stuff. My mind has changed also from "not betting on his own team means he didn't do anything wrong" to understanding how is planned betting may have led him to make managerial decisions he otherwise wouldn't have.

I can't say I'm a fan of him as a person, but there's not many people I'd rather listen to talking about baseball.

I was really impressed with ARod at the :32 part where he says "no, tell me" and when Frank Thomas at the end says "That's Church, that's why you got 4,200 hits.

If you grew up in the '70s, it was obligatory to perfect his unique spinning delivery.

My all-time favorite Luis Tiant story, from his former teammate Bill Lee's autobiography:

Tiant was also great to have in the clubhouse. God, I loved being around him. He was a sensitive and funny man who kept everybody in the clubhouse loose. He could criticize a player in a way that nobody found offensive. Once Harper pulled a rock in the outfield, costing us a few runs in a game we lost. When we came into the locker room, everybody was upset. Luis got up off his chair to go to the john. He took a dump, flushed the toilet, and yelled, “Goodbye, Tommy!” It broke up everyone and took the edge off a tough loss.

I think of that story whenever I'm dealing with some sort of temporary setback. Just flush the toilet and move on.

Luis was also a big time workhorse - imagine anything like this today.

El Tiante was the starting pitcher for Cleveland in the first MLB game I ever attended. He took a lead into the 7th but gave up a couple of unearned runs and got tagged with the L.

The White Sox used to play a few home games a year in Milwaukee County Stadium in the years between the Braves and Brewers.

Harry Chappas the diminutive White Sox shortstop who got a pre-season Sports Illustrated cover story in 1979 died last month at the age of 66.

Chappas was 5'5" but owner Bill Veeck thought the story would work better if he was even smaller, so he was officially listed as 5'3". Unfortunately, Chappas got off to a bad start and was sent to the minors before the end of April. He hit better when he was recalled that August but another bad start in 1980 marked the end of his MLB career at 22.

He hit better when he was recalled that August but another bad start in 1980 marked the end of his MLB career at 22.

He had one career homerun: August 20th 1979, off Bill Travers of Milwaukee.

The reverse is often true, too. "I've never been to me." Blarg.
