In my day a "closer" was the man you paid to beat troublesome Irishmen to death, no questions asked.

Not sliding into a base so hard you kill your opponent's mother. #ManCardRevoked

A proper show about base ball wives would involve butter churning, petticoat repair, and no talking.

Yeah. Old news I know.

But too much gold here to not have it's own thread.

My little lady once asked me to help prepare the Thanksgiving meal. As she had not recently won 59 games in a season, I impolitely declined

A. Peterson's injury reminds me of 1865, when I lost my Presidential Fantasy League when A. Lincoln went down unexpectedly.

Congratulations indeed to J. Verlander. I was unaware they gave out awards for a half-season's worth of work.

My verdict on the Marlins' new uniforms: not enough wool; too much complaining.

@jessespector I once threw a CG victory from the deck of an ironclad.

I am not saying I dislike Sunday Night Foot Ball, but I did choose to enlist in the Union Army rather than watch it.

My proposed dissertation is: "Saming the Other: Hit Batsmen and Heteronormative Liminal Boundaries." I shall win a Guggenheim.

Random Injun attacks always made the Arizona Territory Fall League a difficult time for the prospects.

I can't believe C-M. Wang's corpse is going to earn $4M more than mine.

The most offensive part of this "McRib" campaign is the poxy Irish again attempting to foist their slop on the civilized world.

In my day the "Gold Glove" was the most-requested courtesan off the Baltimore docks.

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do: opium and ladies of questionable morals. - C. Radbourn

Thanks for "bumping" this thread. I was gonna search for it when I saw this one the other day, but then I got lazy:

Some cranks burned one of my game-worn jerseys after I fled Providence. The noxious stench of five years of sweat killed nigh 200 men.

If R. Braun were playing in my day he'd have asked an Irishman to void in the cup for him. Those fellows never have any testosterone.

I should be offended since I'm Irish, but the anti-mick jokes are both hilarious and historically accurate.

Thought this was funny today:

@OldHossRadbourn You are going to fail this assignment. RT @RRuszczyk I'm writing a paper on the history of baseball in DC. Do you have any stories?

Unlike J. Posada, my catcher had a cannon behind the plate. Specifically, a 12-pounder Whitworth breech loader. No one stole home. Ever.
