Did you know that someone once threatened to shoot Mickey Mantle’s kneecaps out? https://permanent.fdlp.gov/lps1288/mantle.pdf

I feel like Mantle's knees were in pretty bad shape by the end even without being shot.

This was for the Korean war
He had an existing ankle issue
11:06

POP TARTS
Sorry, old Baseball THink Factory playoff chat joke
The running joke was that any time a Molina brother was running, Pop Tarts were assumed to be involved.

Dalbec kept starting all summer, long after many had given up him. then got super hot in August and September. But now mostly is on the bench in the playoffs. Any insight?

It's hard given the roster

Hi Dan. Curious if you ever thought about applying ZIPS to players like Newcombe, Minoso...
AvatarDan Szymborski

I'm just not as comfortable with the translations
11:11
It's definitely something to consider in the future
Anyhoo, I lost my thought
JDM's ankle probably crushed Dalbec's PT
11:12
because the Sox really prefer Schwarber at first than in the outfield

I’d like to see a triple into the triangle. Just for fun

Dan, do you have a favorite person in the stands at all of these games? One of my favorites at fenway is the guy third row above the astros logo, white hair, sunglasses

Altuve loafing down the line there

Martinez can't play outfield with his ankle, which means Schwarber has to play first.

Phil said it before I did, for the record
(Sorry Phil, I hadn't scrolled all the way yet)
I had to break up a cat fight

What are some of your favorite BBTF memories?

The running gag that Chris Truby was a satanist which eventually got back to him apparently
THEy"RE USING UP ALL THE HOMERS
Nat
11:15
is schwarber so bad in the outfield that a position he's played like 10 times is better?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Fenway is not a fun place for an inexperienced OF
It was purely by accident
Someone was trolling about players loafing and used Albert Belle as an example
And Tom Nawrocki, a rolling stone editor at the time
11:16
Said something to the effect of "Everyone's always finding excuses to include Albert Belle negatively. If Chris Truby was discovered doing satanic dismemberment, people would whine about how they're tired about how modern players like Chris Truby and Albert Belle are satanists."
