Random Fun

By this point, I'm sure you're starting to see a theme here. Nearly every post begins with some tale of my conversation with Jon and how it led me to some random page on Baseball Reference and I'll be so impressed or infatuated with some player, year, stat, or team that I will write a blog on it. Recently, we've been playing a little game with each other testing our facial recognition knowledge. 

Recently, Baseball Reference (I feel like I should get a sponsorship from them with how much I'm on there - just joking) went through a massive update where every single player has a picture along with their personal page. Before this update, active players just had a name at the top of the page and only major names had pictures, like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, etc. But now that every single player has one, Jon and I like to send random head shots of players to each other to see if he can guess them. We'll be texting back and forth and out of the blue I'll send him 

If you don't know who this is, kindly exit your Web browser and come back shortly thereafter because I don't want to lose you.

something like this to see if he can guess it. Last night, he stumped me quite a few times with 

Joey Cora,

Eric Karros,

and Eric Munson.

Quite the random group. I stumped him with 

Rod Beck, and 

Mitch Williams.

He technically won because he stumped me more. But I'm going to get an official protest and ruling from the MLB soon.

I think I'll start tweeting a headshot every day and hopefully someone will play along with me and name him. I think it would be fun.

Sorry for the short post tonight, I'll be writing more later on Jeter thoughts (considering he hit a walkoff in his last AB ever in the House that Jeter Built), playoff predictions, and the beginning of (you guessed it) offseason moves!

Thanks for reading. Learn your headshots.
