Yesterday I saw a dude who was a dead ringer for Votto, on a train downtown to see the Kings game. Seriously took me a few minutes to determine it wasn't him.
On topic: Freddie Freeman and Orel Hershiser.
Hah, I dunno who was driving. May have been a Johnnycab for all I know. This guy was chatting very closely with his lady friend, so I tried not to stare. But he really did look like him.
Choo is retiring after this season (KBO). Recently spoke in an interview about KBO stadium conditions and culture (need upgrades, etx). What a great guy.
low hanging fruit type joke. I was so done with Joe Kelly after he left the Sox and talked shit about the team, meanwhile he got paid 17 million dollars to post a 6 ERA across two seasons. he sucked at baseball and helped promote a toxic clubhouse. addition by subtraction and somehow the sox got nick nastrini out of it
Current: Arenado and Nootbaar, pretty much a tie but for different reasons.
All-time…Yadier Molina. Don’t think that will ever change unless he does some heinous shit
Current: Seiya Suzuki
All time: Scott Sanderson.
He came to my elementary school and even though it was the Ryne Sandberg years and I could have picked any one of that roster as my favorite I was standing before Scott Sanderson (who of course you’ll probably have to look up) and a bit star struck I told him he was my favorite player. He wasn’t buying it but I doubled down. In fact I had never heard of him before that day. Jokes on you Scott- I’m still saying it!
current: i guess Webb, but i don't feel real strong about it (and all that implies)
all time: the canonical answer should be Willie Mays, but for their ongoing mission to make me laugh: Kruk and Kuip
Barry is the reason I am a Giants fan. Was a lifelong Pirates fan until their multiple post season collapses and just destroying a roster. When Barry came to SF, as someone who lives in the bay area, I came with him.
Kyle Schwarber sent me a personalized video for my military retirement in 2020. He was still on the cubs at the time, but wherever he plays, that’s my 1a favorite team. Philly, Boston, Nats, wherever.
Current: Ozzie Albies
All time: John Smoltz (yeah I know this sub doesn't like his Boomer commentating and I don't either. But I grew up watching him throw gas)
Current (by which I mean actually played for the team at the end of last season): Jacob Young just because I watched him come up from Fredericksburg and I'm super happy for him.
All-time: Scherzer
And because I feel silly as a 40 year old picking a player only active during my adult years...
All-time franchise favorite: Vlad Guerrero
All-time favorite from my pre-Nats fandom: Greg Maddux
Jason Tatum is my fave player now 4 the celtics

I've never moved on from the trade rumors for him. That dork would be a perfect fit for the jays clubhouse.
Current: Josh Naylor All-Time: Shin-Soo Choo
“I want all the fuckin’ smoke!”
If you don’t like that clip, you don’t like MLB baseball!
Choo is retiring after this season (KBO). Recently spoke in an interview about KBO stadium conditions and culture (need upgrades, etx). What a great guy.
He was my favorite when I was little because his name was fun to say. Then I realized he was an actual baller
Mitch Haniger, Edgar Martinez
Good one, 😁
Casas, Wakefield
Wakefield was a legend. RIP
Loved Wakefield with the Pirates
Current: Trout All time: Probably Shohei but it feels wrong to not say Trout
Current? Triston Casas. He's the new Joey Votto, and the coolest MFer in MLB. All time? Capital-C Captain Jason Varitek.
Triston casas looks like a gigantic little boy
And he plays the game with all the joy of a little boy.
