BLB Trivia

I would have thought Dan Hogan had done this.

Negative.

Ok, back to trivia (but not in the form of a trivia question):

Ethan Bafford needs 2 2b's and one RBI to achieve the statistical oddity that is

30+ 2Bs | 10+ 3B | 30+ HR | 100+RBI in a single season.

Discounting 2 tainted VIR players, this oddity has been achieved 5 other times.

So, I lied. There is a trivia question element to this post. Can you guess any of the six instances? (Hints below, because this is a really niche, obscure set of criteria):

1 PHI -
1 HAR - Frank Donegan - 1984
2 IND - Jimmy Jones - 2005|?
1 PAW -

Edit: Updated to remove incorrect SIN instance

I thought about that too. If it was, it was funny that Brad did that.

Anyways, i know i wasnt around during that era but it still sucks.

Credit where credit is due, that line of humor was all Matt.

To be fair to a man who doesn't deserve it, I believe that signature was part of the joke in resurrecting his account for April Fools.

Im sure he thought he was smarter than everyone. Not so much trying to get caught. His arrogance shows in his signature where he states he has "to many rings to count". First off, he uses the wrong "too" and then lets us know he cant count very high.

Ok no more 90's BLB trivia for you guys. :)

It's just sad and I don't like to think about it.

We never went down the rabbit hole (and for good reason)

To me he did the most manipulation over the years to his own team where if I had to guess 12-14 players we involved (Does anyone remember the SP Jerry Morgan collapse after the trade?)

Then 3 teams had some unusual "bad luck"

Washington
Hartford
California.

I'm sure he had some selective individual players usually the ones who threatened the greatness of his own players that he might of squashed, but again we will never know the full extent of this only speculation.

Kind of a summary of events.

Pawtucket was one of those teams at the time young and talented.(91-96) Did he do anything to Pawtucket? You know, I dont think so. Its probably due perhaps to Jistic having my back. Jistic had a history of calling him out. Game 7 in the 91 Brewmaster Cup might of been the only thing since it was so so weird to see who the game chose to start. We fought a 119 win team tooth and nail so couldnt be to depressed.

I use to deal with his statements of "Your teams talented players has plateaued where my players are thriving" and use to scratch my head as to why considering my players where in they're prime where his were on the wrong side of 30, but thats about it.

Did you have to get some money back from him??? Was it the donations?

He sent the donations back. We used it to pay 2014-2015 hosting fees.

Lol, THE CONTRACT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. What really gave it away was no news in the HTML or in Game like "Star OF extended" it was like it never happened. Figure Clay would of at least made something up in the news.

Poor Jistic heard an earful that sim.

Looking back its amazing how Clay's world was crashing all around him. Does seem he almost wanted to get caught.

The scary thing is the last host we were with was in his name so he literally could have burnt it to the ground. It switched back to my name when we moved to the current host which was only a month or two before shit hit the fan.

He would have burned SGN to the ground.

Fascinating.

The Jerry Daly contract extension alone was outward proof of wrongdoing. I sent him a PM as soon as the contract was signed and asked him "what witchcraft is this?" and he gave me an answer that could have conceivably been plausible at face value, but not at all possible if you understand the financial engine intimately. So, nothing behind the scenes, nothing behind the curtain, that contract alone was grounds for dismissal. It just happened to coincide with the Jistic/Matt/et al bombshell of injury editing.
