One of my favorite plays in history happened yesterday, way back in 1976.
Any ideas?
Didn't have much to do with baseball, but happened on a baseball field.
Rick Monday was the MAN.

Is that when he snatched the flag before the douchebag could burn it?

Ichiro retires. Will join Mariners FO for remainder of the 2018 season. 3089 MLB hits. 4367 hits total in Japan and America.

From 2001 to 2010, he had over 200 hits each season totaling 2244 hits in 10 years. WOW

I'm confused. Apparently he is not retiring from playing baseball. But he will not play again in 2018. Is he hurt? The article says he will play again in 2019.

Couldn't agree more. He did more for MLB, than MLB did for him. Not many can say that.

Loved watching him field and throw a baseball. So fundamentally sound. Always put himself in position to make the strong, accurate throw. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a cannon.

The cat was the ultimate professional. Took pride in his craft, worked as hard as anybody. A cool customer, and cocky. Yes, it's okay to be cocky, it puts extra pressure on yourself. Some guys don't want that. Be cocky, then live up to it.

And then there are the stories... in house HR derbies in Seattle, very similar to Boggs, he crushed his teammates in those contests.

Learned Spanish (after English) not just to embrace and communicate with his teammates, but to be able to talk smack to middle infielders after taking 2nd base.

I count myself lucky to have watched him play.

I thought stripes were supposed to be slimming.

Being winded after your HR trot is not a good thing.

Good thing he was already out with a broken hand which occurred the other day. Just be a longer time out

Another tainted star. That will hurt his HOF candidacy bigtime.

Joe Mauer - no PED stains.

During Sunday’s game against the Detroit Tigers, Cano was batting when a pitch from Blaine Hardy hit his right hand and broke one of his fingers. He’s been placed on the disabled list and is expected to be out for an extended period of time, though the Mariners have yet to release a timetable for his return. Cano will be able to serve his 80-game suspension while he’s on the DL. Over 39 games this season, Cano is batting .287/.385/.441 with four home runs and 10 doubles.

That's BS. Serve the suspension while on the DL???

They were delaying this announcement until he happened to break his hand.

Just the old PEE stains Gardy made sure they all had in the playoffs, or any time they went to NY

Here's what will happen. Bonds and Clemens will both get into the HOF their last year on the ballot. Which will clear the path for Ortiz to get in 1st or 2nd year on the ballot. By the time Cano is on the ballot, he won't have any issues....he'll get in Year 1 or 2.

He was a NOBODY when he came up with the Yankees. A punchline. An awful player. I've been suspicious of his meteoric rise for many years.

Maybe MLB should take away the Yankees WS title of 2009 since Cano was their best player?

For a little while he threw hard and lived in NY.
So a Mets-starved base had its hero.

His first 3 years ( 4 with the injury) he was very good and very young.
A lot of reason for optimism.
Then coming back, he was given time to come back post injury, very acceptable leeway.

Then he just sucked.
I think he was desrevinb of the praise that was given.
