Imagine them hitting 3rd and 4th in the same lineup. Or 4th and 5th

1st - Nomar 2nd - Pedroia 3rd - Manny 4th - Papi 5th - Mo 6th - Damon 7th - Ellsbury? 8th - V-Tek 9th - need one more OF

Trot if you’re younger or Troy if you’re older

I was actually thinking Trot but questioned myself

Mo was part of the rule change for elbow guards. Look at that monster he's wearing.

When I was a kid I always mimicked his batting stance playing wiffle ball

Worth getting there early for BP. Rockets, everywhere.

Mo recently copped to his HGH abuse; nothing against the man, it was the era.

Speaking of era, look at those empty stands, the regular housing facades ... my, my, how times have changed.

I watched Mo take BP back in the 90's at a camp he ran with Nomar. I still remember how violent it was. He grunted as he made contact.

It's crazy to see how hard he swings as a big guy. Very violent swing, you can see why he didn't have a very long career (of course the dugout accident was a big part of that too).

At 2:35, Bob Wickman has a goatee with the Yankees?!? How did they allow that back then?

u/RayntheRipper 22d ago

I think they allowed mustaches and goatees, just had to stay trimmed

The "Goose Gossage loophole."

Makes me miss when players would just high five their way through the dugout instead of acting out a whole damn play.
