You can buy 1 BR Developer closeouts for $50K and below out there.

Are we talking $300 a month? Spend more than 12 days there and it does pay for itself...might even appreciate?

He got a chance to listen to some Rome and see a couple Matinees


Sounds pretty wild

I wonder if "I've got a little place outside of Scottsdale" is a go-to line for him, though I suppose such semantic obfuscation doesn't work on native Phoenician gals. I mean, technically, that could be anywhere.

Zorro was a pretty pedestrian player (career .242 average) -- and he only hit 30 percentage points higher his MVP season. Also led the AL in errors that year -- and I believe strikeouts.
If he doesn't know either Harmon Killebrew or Tony Oliva, you might have something there. Zorro was a flash in the pan. There are some MVPs around that time that aren't that well-known: Jackie Jensen (1958) for one.
I'll give Spiegs a pass on that one.

Jackie Jensen was a near great player whose career ended prematurely due to his fear of flying. It isn't really too much to ask a guy who gets paid to host a baseball show in a major market to have at least a cursory knowledge of every MVP or ROY. I don't expect him to know as much about Versalles as I do. But, for the love of God, in my world expressing puzzlement upon hearing his name is unacceptable.

To be fair, he barely ever hosts that show

I checked back on Jensen's stats -- led the AL in RBIs three times.
I stand corrected about using Jensen as an example.
What about Jim Konstanty? I know he was a Whiz Kid, but he didn't have much of a career.

Konstanty is an oddity, especially in his time, an MVP reliever. I'm not sure about putting his season in context. I'm purposely not looking at Baseball Reference, but I'm going to say off the top of my head that Robin Roberts on his own team had to have had a better year, not to mention Warren Spahn who was in his prime. And that's just other pitchers. I'm sure that Robinson and Musial had good years and I'm not sure if it was the same season Konstanty won his MVP, but Earl Torgeson had a giant year where he was on base all the time and scored 120-some runs.

This is the kind of stuff that, pre-Internet and pre-smartphones, I could talk about in an bar and if they happened to have a Baseball Encyclopedia to pull out, someone might be impressed. Sadly, it was never a hot girl. Now, people are just like, "yeah right, you just Googled that shit". I didn't, but that's cool. As I get older I remember wrong more often. Like the other day I said Kelly Gruber stopped at second to finish his phony cycle. I looked it up and actually he stopped at first as the single was the last part he needed.
