The pride of the Carrot League

You can make your arguments for Satchel Paige or Josh Gibson, but new sabermetric analysis shows the greatest baseball player never to play in the major leagues was Bugs Bunny.

Transcience said...: Satchel Paige *did* play in the major leages for 5 full seasons, but he was already in his 40's when he started. He actually made a brief comeback at 58, throwing 3 innings of shut-out ball to save a game in a single appearance. Yeah, what a badass.; 3/17/2006 03:20:00 PM
Christina said...: I genuinely wanted to read that post, but he lost me about two paragraphs in. Such is my attention-span with sports. Even cartoon sports.; 3/17/2006 04:19:00 PM
Peter Lynn said...: Good point. I forgot that Satchel Paige did show up after Jackie Robinson. But Gordie Howe is still the champion of playing professional sports well into advanced decrepitude.

Pretend I said Sadaharu Oh instead of Satchel Paige.; 3/17/2006 04:59:00 PM
Dickolas Wang said...: If I recall correctly, Gordie Howe actually played one shift for the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL during the time they were affiliated with the Canucks. I wonder if the Canucks could have called him up, he would have looked great on a line with Matt Cooke and Trevor Linden.; 3/18/2006 04:35:00 AM
Peter Lynn said...: He never did play that shift with the Syracuse Crunch. They signed him for an appearance, but the deal was later canceled. He ended up playing a shift for the Detroit Vipers of the IHL to become the first person to play professional hockey in six different decades.; 3/18/2006 01:30:00 PM

"Thou art my grammatical superior."
"I'm afraid to write to you. What if I use a semi-colon wrong?! It's very stressful for me."

"That may be the funniest story I've ever heard. Offensive or not."

"You. Are. A. God. My hat off to you, sir. In my 29 years of life I have yet to offend so many in such a cavalier way. Oh, I have tried, yes, but to have something this good in the antisocial arsenal... You magnificent bastard!"

"I'm your friend and I'm scared of you, and I've been telling you for 18 months that if I worked with you I'd probably hate you."

"Am I your only friend left?"

"... we're no longer friends, after your gross calumny and slander on manvsclown."

"So, I blogroll *and* recommend you in a post, and then it's pissing posts galore. That's just the way the world works, I guess."

"You obviously have little education and certainly little money. IF you get lucky enough to win a lottery you'll then have a chance to know what a butler is...maybe you'll buy some lessons in manners as well."

"Brilliant! How the hell do you not have more readers?"

"you're ... a veritable cloud of assholes"

Seriously --- your blog is one of the most fun reads on the Internets. Why, some people pay top dollar for this level of comedy gold! (Oh, and you're a veritable cloud of assholes.)

"You really know how to produce a new and higher level of truth, Pete."

"You're an idiot."

"Kudos on sounding like a vitriolic jerk."

"Inappropriate, full stop."

"Thanks for ruining everything, Peter."

"Look at you and your big head. You think you're the only contributor to Man VOOSE clown?"
