I can still see Bob Veale wearing those big clear-framed glasses on his baseball card.

Didn’t know he played. How’d he find time to fix all those houses?

I always wanted to see Bob Vila work on a Villa but it was always just an old house.

Top right is a land mine today. There are lots of right answers, but one big tempting wrong answer. Only 44% of players are getting it.
9/9, 183 rarity

20-game winner for the Giants? I thought that was about as easy as it gets. At least seven HOFers to chose from, including perhaps the greatest right handed pitcher of all time.
Its a landmine because not one of the good pitchers that they have had in the last 20 years ever won 20 games

Recency bias kills.

I guess it’s like Yankee announcers trying to come up with an “all time Yankee” team. They got to RF and we’re completely stumped. After much debate, they finally decided Paul O’Neill was the greatest right fielder in Yankee history.
I’d put Maris ahead of O’Neill but it seems like there is someone else…

8/9 I couldn’t use Cano twice so I went blank on Met/Mariners square.
Someone else didn’t make the All Time Yankee team.
Is it against the rules to put Dimaggio or Mantle in RF?
David Aardsma worked for all six team squares today.

IIRC, Mantle didn’t make the team either. They went back and forth between Mantle and DiMaggio in CF and settled on DiMaggio. I’m kinda surprised they didn’t go with Bernie Williams. Mind you, this was just some yahoos filling dead air time during a blowout, nothing official or anything. But it demonstrates the recency bias these days.
I feel like that’s been happening more now than ever.

It used to be the opposite. People would claim that today’s cupcakes couldn’t carry the jock of the magnificent warriors of yesteryear.
That Yankee announce team could solve all of the US Power Grid issues at once if they just built a big ass turbine outside their booth.

Whether you read this as a “big ass” turbine, or a big “ass turbine”, it still works.
