    Borje Salming tribute in Toronto

    Borje Salming has been diagnosed with ALS and came back to Toronto to drop a ceremonial puck Saturday night. My favorite player in the late 70's even though I rarely got to see him play (mostly Bruins games). Seemed really cool and stylish backed by an iron will. Great-skating Swedish D who...

    Baseball Obits

    I didn't see a thread for this, but please correct me if I've missed it. Thought it might be useful to have a thread to post obits just for players, managers, baseball lifers, etc., who've passed. I posted Davis' below elsewhere but thought it more appropriate here so all can see/share. Obits...

    Formula 1: General Discussion and 2020 Preview

    There's a great documentary for those curious on F1 called "Senna." He was an interesting figure in the sport and they have some great footage. I've been watching some F1 in the last year and want to see a race in person at some point. I used to watch NASCAR with my dad during the late...

    R.I.P Oscar Gamble

    Passed away yesterday at age 68. Looked forward to his baseball card every year as he had an epic afro. His hat would sometimes float above a hair halo. Also, love this quote: "...when talking about the dysfunction within the Yankees clubhouse: 'They don't think it be like it be, but it do.'"

    Would Durant have signed with C's if...

    I'm wondering if you substituted Irving for Thomas and the Brooklyn '17 pick last offseason would that have pushed Durant into signing with the C's. Given what had happened prior to that offseason - Thomas' very good '16 season (not the great '17) and Irving's playoff heroics culminating in...

    Jim Fregosi Passes Away

    Didn't see this anywhere and thought it might merit a mention.  Fregosi passed away last night at age 71 after a series of strokes.  A six-time All Star and one-time Gold Glover, he was originally signed as an amateur free agent by the Red Sox in 1960 and they lost him to the Angels in the later...
