BLB Trivia

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.

He would have burned SGN to the ground.

I've had conversations with him through the Facebook and he has not.

Sometimes I envision a Frost/Nixon type scenario where Clay finally acknowledges his wrongdoings.

To me he killed your OF. Castor no doubt took a hit like a year after you traded for him ,but RF Abelando Hernandez strange -2 contact drop (Yes it was -2) Amri 'Skipper' Sau also taking a hit AND BOTH after extension were signed was a little over the top.

One guy dropping sure its life, two guys ok unlikely but bad luck. THREE GUYS , All outfielders and oh two right after extensions....................

Back-to-back-to-back Stout Sluggers all killed before 29 years old.

He had a 7 or 8 for avoid K's, was a massive home run threat, won the DL Stout Slugger and then fell off the planet.

Looking back, his decline was mildly comical (sorry UMD).

My 1995 and 1997 teams were monsters.

He killed Castor (and others) in a version upgrade. He used it as cover to decimate my Hartford team that should've won two (or more) rings.

It would be more apt to say Castor got too close to the Shaver's Edge.

"The sun?"

Come on, man. Clay wasn't that fat back then.

I laughed.

Someone photoshop him in a yellow shirt.

He flew too close to the sun?

Good job Squid and I think we know why that happened.

Nevertheless, I loved Don.

Any RHB that could hit 40 in Phillips Field had tremendous power.

I think he held the BLB record for RBI in a single season for a while too.

It is Castor. I remember my first season with the Tobs looking at him and wondering how someone could drop off that hard right at 30.
