**Official 2014 MLB Regular Season-All over but the shouting (1 Viewer)

The Yankees put Paul O'Neill into monument park???? :lmao:
yeah its ridiculous but Tino was even worse. bernie deserves one though but he has to wait until next year.
Kind of watering it down aren't they? Did either of those guys even get 10% of the HOF vote? Are they putting Scott Brosius in next?
Tino was a bad one, but O'Neill was deserving. Batting title, 4x all star, and most importantly the leader of those late 90's championship teamsFrom that era, they'll end up honoring Jeter, Torre, Mo (all HOFers), Bernie, Tino, & O'Neill. One too many IMO but not outrageous for a 4-time ws dynasty

I dunno. When I think of Monument Hall or row or whatever it's called, I think of Mantle, Ruth, Joe D, Whitey Ford and even Jeter. Not a 4-time All-Star.

4x all star, spent a large portion of his career with another team. Not worthy imo

Sometimes, it's not just about the sheer numbers someone puts up.

Nobody has ever received that type of treatment before, and it really showed what he meant to the fans and to those legendary teams.

 
Jeff Francoeur released by the Indians. It looks like it's the end of the line for Frenchy. He is a great guy and teammate by all accounts and was capable of looking like a ballplayer in (mostly) brief spurts. He was somehow able to parlay these into almost 5000 MLB PAs and over $25M.

He leaves the game with Mel Hall and Derek Bell as his top two B-R similarity scores. Hopefully Francoeur will be able to stay out of prison.
He's back like a bad penny. He'll fit right in for San Diego.
DFAed again after going 2 for 24 for the Padres.

 
I was watching the game and jumped out of my chair when I saw that catch. Yelled at my wife to come and see the replay. What a great moment for that guy. Really brightened up what was shaping up to be a sad, gloomy night.

This photo is gold.
What's the deal with throwing an old ball out and keeping the HR ball? Is that common?

It's a tradition at Wrigley to throw an opposing team's home runs back. It's not uncommon to see people pull a fast one and throw a different ball back.

That's dumb. Don't throw it back then.

It's kind of a cute tradition at Wrigley, so I get it there.

I don't get it anywhere else, though. What point are you making, other than copying a fun Wrigley thing?

"Hey guys, the fans threw back that home run ball I just hit out! Apparently they don't like it when we hit HRs against their team? Let's not do that any more, I'd hate to think we're making the patrons unhappy in any way."

I've always liked that they throw it back. That's the first time I noticed someone switch it with an old ball and throw that one back.

I think it's to avoid the peer pressure. Don't the fans yell at those who catch it if they don't throw it back?

Hey! You caught that ball from the other team. Now take this heroin
