    Yamamoto vs Darvish?

    The island of Japan hasn't been this excited since Pearl Harbor.

    Anyone who watched Animal House knows who bombed Pearl Harbor.

    Never forget that Billy Chapel gave the Tigers strong starts in that series

    I loved Whittaker and Trammel so much…I don’t recall watching them before the 87 season, but I think that was the year they won a bunch of games down the stretch to get in playoff contention…but lost in game 163 which was a day game and I happened to be legitimately home sick that day. If you have to be sick, meaningful day game baseball is a lovely distraction.

    I enjoyed it…it’s a love story in the backdrop of a guy pitching a new hitter…he’s zoning out thinking about her and the end of his career quickly approaching. Can be super cheesy but a lot of good movies are I guess lol :)
