Here’s what I have to say to your video @BauerOutage & @AgentRachelLuba I have had NOTHING to do with your Arizona accuser. But if you pressed charges against her…. Why didn’t you press charges against ME? You’ve had 3 years. Trevor sued me, dropped the lawsuit on his own…
Now do teachers.
I truly had no idea that this is how low their salaries are.
How many steroid needles high was it?
How high was the pitch Adolis homered on last night?
Right now he’s batting .400 with a .905 OPS. So…
Oh no, a female athlete is showing passion. Tear her down before others step out of their place, amirite?
Caitlin Clark is a talented basketball player, but her behavior during this tournament has been disappointing. We need athletes to set good examples for young people, and CC had the opportunity to be a positive role model but fell short. It’s not just her, players in all sports…
He blocked me and hid my reply. I guess this isn’t an open discourse.
@DanClarkSports Yes, you wouldn’t know anything about rooting for someone’s downfall and being filled with toxicity.
Because nobody goes to a Savannah Bananas game to scold people for standing up, doing the Wave, or generally enjoying themselves. Yes, I will die on this hill.
How does this have better atmosphere than Astros playoff games?
Do y’all (or know anyone) that has the Altuve image variation of ‘23 Stadium Club and wants to trade for a Bregman? @HoUcards @CardsAstros @SonnysimsPC @Wheres_Wander @Cardhunter56 @LDizzle713 @ChrisCards87 @CardzCash @Andy11924340 @EveryAstroEver @AvidCards @1986Astros
So he’s about to get traded to the Dodgers? They love shortened seasons.
As fans, it is important we acknowledge when our team fell short of doing the right thing and honor those that help put the team on the right path. Thank you, Bob Watson.
The Astros caved. Opening Day was postponed. Bob Watson would go on to score the 1,000,000th run in MLB history, became the first African-American GM to win the World Series, and is the man that said, "C'mon, let the kids play!"
In 1968, Watson still qualified as a rookie and had very little clout. But he was not going to let this decision stand. He told Roberto Clemente that he would not play and then slowly convinced his teammates. Soon, Joe Morgan, Jimmy Wynn, and Don Wilson joined him.
Watson was a scrappy outfielder with a great history and a future full of accomplishments. When confronted with the Vietnam War, he elected to serve in the Marines, eating up three of his prime playing years. In 1966, he would debut with the Astros.
One man would change that decision, and it cannot be understanded the sheer bravery it took in 1968 to do this. The Reserve Clause meant going against your team could mean being left in a purgatory of terrible contracts or being black listed. That Man? Bob Watson.
