one more comment on the image discussion that was going on

i wish sbnation would add a feature to turn on/off images in a users profile settings. i can certainly understand some people not wanting them in the threads, and a feature that doesnt seem that complex could take care of both sides.

OT: Just to whine a bit

Tomorrow’s gonna be a long day. Work 8-11, mow the yard, interview a 100-year-old woman for a newspaper article and Rangers game late.

I need to work a nap in there somewhere I guess.

M's tie the score

If they win, and the Rangers can hold on here, Texas clinches second place.

I’m now going to go to bed so I don’t have to read the pissy, sarcastic responses about how worthless 2nd place is.

i certainly want to.

even though 2nd place still will put us below .500, I’m glad to see us moving up the division in standings at least.

Trivia: No cheating, how old is Bobby Witt currently...

and what year did he retire?

Bonus question: How many strikeouts did he have in his career high year in 1990?

Stars in a Texas Night Sky, a Dallas Stars blog from a fan's perspective.

by rangers85 on Sep 26, 2008 10:57 PM CDT   0 recs

Witt

Retired in ’94?
Age 45?
Strikeouts… somewhere in the 80-90 range?

by oc on Sep 26, 2008 10:59 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well

He’s born in 1964, I believe, which would make him 43 or 44.

He retired in…2004.

And he had 251 Ks in his career high year.

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 26, 2008 11:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Age is correct at 44...

Retirement and K’s are off a decent bit.

ANSWERS:

Born: April 10, 1964 (Age 44)
Retired after 2001 season having played for Texas Rangers, Oakland Athletics, Florida Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Cleveland Indians, and finally the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Strikeouts: 221 Ks in his career season of 1990 where he had a 3.36 ERA and 17-10 record.

By the way...

I was surprised that he was still only 44, figured he was late 40s. Also thought he’d retired late 90s, and had forgotten what a beast he was early in his career since I was 5-6 years old at the time he posted that 1990 season.
