    Yes, good one. Ex Buffalo Bill, taken in the expansion draft.

    Which MLB team has the current longest streak without having a Hall of Fame player in its lineup/rotation?

    Pirates?

    Yep, Stargell in 1982. That’s a long era of suck.

    Only because Bonds has been blackballed from the HOF.

    But even if bonds were in, it would still be 1992 for the last HOFer, and that would still have the pirates near the bottom of the list.

    Which former major-league pitcher was also a Division II All-American punter at Angelo State?

    Jim Morris.

    Yes. The Rookie was on MLB last night. A lot of embellishment of the real story, but it's still cool when he calls his wife and tells her he's going to MLB.

    Yeah, I like the movie and love the story.

    I like the part where the wife comes home and listens to the scout saying they want to sign him on the answering machine.

    In real life they divorced shortly after he made the Rays.

    Huh, I never knew that. Who knew that life doesn’t always have Hollywood endings?
