Charlie Gehringer is by far the best with my birthday, but he was in the 20's-30's so who knows how good he really was. He's be facing Andy pettitte.

Phil Cavaretta vs. Juan Guzman. I like my chances.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.

There's a WhatIfSports baseball theme to be had in a spinoff of that tweet.
The highest WAR of any player born on my birthday is Madison Bumgarner.

Right. This is actually more clever than most but it would be pretty easy to get your birthdate with those two pieces of information. (Unless they assume I was a senior in HS in 1984 instead of 1991)

Jimmie Foxx vs Greg Maddux. Coin flip if I live to see tomorrow.

Derek Bell v Tim Belcher. Coin flip too. Just a less interesting one.
Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Gabby Hartnett (or David Wright if we go more modern.), also v. Maddux.
How do you all get your death notices since I left?
Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
My modern would be Cano or Ichiro. Pretty good day I must say.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
If your goal is to merely get on base, Bill Joyce is your man.
The thing about Maddux was unless you were going to bang/signal where the catcher was positioning his glove I’m not sure how much it would’ve mattered.

He's the third-best in WAR (and behind a "Hall of Famer"), but I'll take my chances with the Greek God of Walks reaching base on Jack Morris.

Not many top players born on my birth date.

Probably dead

Detroit has won their last seven games and are 38-27 (.585) since May 8.
This is also a team that had my internal monologue saying a couple weeks ago, "Ah, Eric Haase is coming up in the next half inning, I'll stick around for that."

Cleveland deserves to get passed in the standings by Detroit in the next couple weeks for that name/logo.

Eh. It matches the guardian statues on the bridge that I think is pretty much right beside the stadium.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 9:11 am Cleveland deserves to get passed in the standings by Detroit in the next couple weeks for that name/logo.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Its apparently a Cleveland statue thing, but the logo itself looks sooooooo fucking bad. Like MS Paint bad.
Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
I don’t like the font on the G in the “flying baseball” logo but I like the idea.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
I’m undecided on the name. Hate the clipart ball. Don’t mind the font. It looks like it pays tribute to the style it’s supposed to. I fear endless Groot jokes. 5/10.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
I guess another problem would be when I say “i don’t mind the font” someone might rightfully ask “which one?” since EACH OF THE FOUR THINGS UP THERE LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT ONE WTF.

Oh and it doesn't take much squinting to imagine that the G on the other side of the baseball is actually a Chief Wahoo logo still.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Yeah, I think that's my initial takeaway. Why don't the G's match each other and why don't the C's match each other?

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Is it possible they wanted to maintain a feather as part of the logo? There's not a lot of paraphernalia with a standalone feather for them, but there is some.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
This helps explain the name and why the logo looks like it does.

As AB said, the bridge that features the guardians is next to the stadium.
I like the name but don’t care for the logo.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Give them points for originality if nothing else. Something unique to Cleveland and not used by any other sports team. Could do a lot worse (and did for almost 100 years).

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
I gotta tell you, the local angle feels a little contrived. Like if you gotta explain it to outsiders, then it’s not an icon. If Clevelanders spend their days talking to each other about the guardian statues, then I’m happy to be wrong. It’s a perfectly good name.
Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
I think MLB nicknames in general are underwhelming in terms of iconography, and if it works for Cleveland, it seems good enough. Outside of the animal nicknames (Cubs, Tigers, and the bird teams) and maybe Pirates, none of the other nicknames seem like things that you can immediately picture in your head separate from the teams. Hell, I root for a team basically called the Philadelphia Philadelphias. Guardians is at least as good as that.
