Gary Redus, Wily Mo Peña, and 7 Hall of Famers!
What’s that, you say? Greasy Neale isn’t in Cooperstown? Ah! But he is in Canton! He coached the Philadelphia Eagles to back-to-back NFL Championships in 1948 & 1949. He was the starting RF for the World Series Champion 1919 Cincinnati Reds (they beat the Black Sox).
Hell of a ‘stache on Sam Thompson!
If I remember the dialogue correctly:
Her: “Hi, I’m Plenty.”
Bond: “But of course you are.”
Her: “Plenty O’Toole.”
Bond: “Named after your father, perhaps?”
That’s “Doctor Goodhead.” She didn’t spend 7 years in Bond Girl Graduate School to be called “Holly.”
Oops, forgot to do a #caturday post yesterday. Here’s Archie napping last night.

This’ll do. Some of my usual Reds nonsense (Householder & Straily & Borbon). Straily’s good year with the Reds got him traded to Miami for Luis Castillo, so that’s nice!
Pete Vuckovich played Clu Haywood, the feared Yankees slugger in “Major League.”
Carr & Santiago were original Marlins.
Pleased to remember Gift Ngoepe, first African in MLB.
Happy Sunday!

So it does have to be an actual 30/30 season. I was curious and tried Mike Cameron, who had 30 and 30 but never 30/30.
Otherwise fine. Whatever.
@seaks Yes, City Island! Seemed a nifty place to have a ballpark. I remember there being a Ferris Wheel next to the OF, but this was 25 years ago, so I could be wrong.
@seaks Pozo played in only 1 game with Seattle, in 1995. Then he had a couple cups of coffee with Boston. I only remember him because of the great name and he was a failed prospect.
Arquimedez Pozo and Aristides Aquino and Socrates Brito and Terrmel Sledge all occupy the same weird-names spot in my brain; although Sledge is also a guy I remember seeing in the minors in Harrisburg, PA.

This went well. Frey, Jefferson, and Cameron are my Reds nonsense. Arquimedez Pozo is my love of odd names.
Javier Vazquez was really good and people don’t remember him much. He was ace of my only champion fantasy team.
Reggie Jefferson is a Tallahassee native and hit .300 everywhere he went . . . except for the Reds.
Yankees 2B makes me think of Jack Reacher.
I’ve lived in Tallahassee for over 20 years combined and grew up near Melbourne, so driven—slowly—through Cross City countless times. Don’t usually stop, since Gainesville is the natural halfway point. Although I’ve hit the Cross City Dairy Queen for an emergency milk shake from time to time.
You got me out there searching the net for “airport pig drinking beer.” Thanks for that!
Sure enough:
Absolutely love the Harley Quinn version they used to advertise the animated TV show:

Mixed bag today. Started with One Team row and was very happy to remember the Jung brothers. Christian Encarnacion-Strand is a lot of text. And high at .2%; wonder what Johnny Bench scored.
Rest was 1970s and 1970s folks.
Shoutout to Mickey Lolich and Josh Hamilton.

Reds are a column, so I relapsed to my Reds nonsense. Only Gura and Dernier weren’t Reds. Dernier had a hell of a 1987 APBA card.
Votto is a small cheat, but I haven’t used him in a while. Hope he’s enjoying whatever new thing he’s doing!
Shoutouts:
Mike Vail, David DeJesus, Larry Biitner
Bruce Berenyi, Billy Hamilton, Mookie Wilson
Bench, Killebrew, Mel Ott
@seaks Biff is awesome. Nice.
@seaks who’d you have?

Checkerboard fun. Rico Carty played 17 games at C for the 1966 Braves, 12 of them complete games. It was a real tryout; like his health problems weren’t bad enough without wearing the tools of ignorance!
Cy and Babe together is nice. Along with Foxx, Rice, and Jenkins, it’s 5 Hall of Famers. Should be 6 with Tiant someday.
Moe Berg: The Catcher Was a Spy!
Nice bloom on our Camellia here in Tallahassee.
Such an amazing song. The whole Dublin Blues album is outstanding and finishing with The Randall Knife is powerful.
