'68 was the 1st year I started really paying attention to baseball (6-7 years old).
Two of my favourite uniforms ever since, I rooted for the Tigers in the series that year.
I liked Mickey, and since my dad and mom were huge Bob Gibson fans, made for fun viewing!
Good long life, may he rest easy.
BTW, the song has a nice beat, I can dance to it.

Texted a friend this morning who played Junior B, and is still coaching (30 years later).
He says that's the answer, that Philadelphia voluntarily brought puck back in, so no offside.
posted by tommybiden at 10:51 AM on November 30, 2025
...but how is that not offside on him?
That actually hadn't crossed my mind, you'd think it would be offside.
My theory is because the Flyers voluntarily brought the puck back into their own zone.
That's all I've got.

The form now locks after kickoff again. I'm thinking about adding an Honor System checkbox that lets players pick after the time for the situations where you miss the deadline but haven't seen the score yet.
I'm good with that, maybe a time limit of .... 15 minutes after kickoff (likely to be 5-7 minutes of play).

I made it to the 15th inning before calling it a night. What a series!
I thought about bed after 11th, 13th, 16th, but dug deep and got the complete game.
For those interested in such matters, Game 4 was 3 hours & 45 minutes shorter (9 innings fewer, as well).

As a Day 1 Blue Jays fan, wow, just, wow.
Seattle are 'our' expansion cousins. I don't think there's any serious animosity between the fanbases, with the possible exception of when Toronto visits every year and Blue Jays fans flood into T-Mobile Park. It was a whale of a series, could easily have gone the other way. Watching Sportsnet this morning, Los Angeles is -210 to win the series, Toronto +175
