These guys should have opted out of baseball's 2020 season

The Phillies should have taken the left at Albuquerque
The selling point of a major overhaul/rebuild in baseball, at least the way you bill it to fans, is that for a few years of abject play and unadorned summers you will be rewarded with years and years of contention and a spin at the playoff wheel that might land on “World Series Champion” every seaso...

Gale Sayers, the brightest of lights
Five seasons. Sixty-eight games. That’s all it took for Gale Sayers to prove to everyone he was one of the greatest running backs in football history (at the time only Jim Brown would have been argued to be in the same stratosphere). Just five, and those five seasons still hold up today to put Sayer...
