Jays got their comeuppance last World Series thanks to Phillies sleeper agent Jeff Hoffman

Ok for real too soon.

God damn it.

You can take the Rockies legend out of Colorado, but you can’t take the Rockies legend out of Jeff Hoffman

Back to therapy it is!

"Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll NEVER hit a bigger home run in your life!"
One of the best quotes in ALL of baseball.

Joe Carter made a 13 yr old boy cry that night
10. u/firesticks · 2026-10-24 00:05 UTC
And a 13 yr old girl a lifelong baseball fan.

Made plenty of grown ass people cry as well! I’m not affiliated with either team and that call chokes me up every time I hear it. It’s every person’s dream growing up as a sports fan to do something like what Carter did.

Yes….yes he did….fuck…..thanks for the reminder

Worst day ever

I miss the old Skydome. I was so cold and sterile in there.
17. u/firesticks · 2026-10-24 01:35 UTC
Being warm and fertile not working out for you?

Still mad at Fregosi for not recognizing that Mitch hadn’t gotten anybody out since the All Star Break.
19. u/sasksasquatch · 2026-10-24 00:33 UTC
Considering the rest of your bullpen, there was a guy in the series who for part of it had no ERA because he had failed to record an out.
20. u/aphilsphan · 2026-10-24 01:29 UTC
Larry Anderson didn’t cover himself in glory. For some reason Fregosi ignored Ben Rivera. He was the fifth starter with a 5 ERA, but he probably could have held a multirun lead.
