MLB 2019 and Beyond: Something Something Three True Outcomes....

Re: MLB 2019 and Beyond: Something Something Three True Outcomes....

In case you’ve missed it, MLB is proposing playing at least the beginning, if not all, of the season in Arizona at spring training sites. Lots of restrictions on travel and who’s allowed at games and all that.

Doesn’t sound like everyone’s on board:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">One Mets player who asked not to be identified has concerns about the idea of 30 teams playing an entire summer in Arizona: "It's the desert," he said. "Stuff doesn't live there, it dies there."</p>— Mike Puma (@NYPost_Mets) <a href="https://twitter.com/NYPost_Mets/status/1247601539256107009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 7, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I would bet a fair amount on that being Noah Syndergaard.

*Checks careers of Diamondbacks players.*

Welp, the Mets player isn't wrong.

Let me get this straight: They wanna play 7 inning doubleheaders in the 100+ degree Arizona heat? Or, if they don’t wanna play in the heat, they have to play at a time when the vast majority of their TV audience will be asleep. All under an extreme health risk for everyone involved?

How is this a good idea?

ESPN has the Ripken game on from 1995.

MLBN is showing games 6 and 7 of the ‘68 WS.

The ‘68 series may as well be broadcast in 4K compared to whatever fourth hand VHS someone’s great uncle sent to ESPN to show Ripken.

Very cool. I'm curious to see what it goes for. I would think somewhere between 100-200k. Maybe a little higher.

Yeah, that's a major league item, pun intended. I'd really like to see the Twins step up and purchase it, then display it at the ballpark. An iconic piece of Twins memorabilia right there.

Good call. And agreed. It has to be one of the top 2-3 pieces of game worn/used memorabilia in Minnesota Twins history.

COmpletely agree. It might be a top five important piece of memorabilia all time for them. Hard to really think of one more important.
 
Re: MLB 2019 and Beyond: Something Something Three True Outcomes....

Hard to make a list of memorabilia as we dont know whats actually out there. Meaning not in the HOF and not missing.

Are you including the Senators history?
