You forgot the part where Bonds looked like a complete doofus twice in the inning.  First getting the error trying to pick up Anderson's bloop single, dropping it numerous times as if saying my precious world series ring is disappearing.  Then when he was waiving his glove in vain trying to pretend to catch up to Glaus' rocket.   

Bonds should have been a DH in Anaheim.

If he was, he would have tripped on his recliner on the first day, and injured himself.

I mean during the World Series.

Sounds like Liga MX is shutting down, so that list is getting a bit shorter.

I have this on DVD, but for those that don’t.

 

Good call.

This is also available on Amazon Prime.

Who needs human players.

Just some dice, paper and pen. And one of these old school stats games. This was big when I was in university. We had a draft, schedule and playoff system. About 25 teams participated. I was the champion one year.

Loaded up on pitching, guys with high on base percentage and some sluggers. Also platooned a lot.

Now you have video games and computer simulations. But there was something fun about the tactile techniques of these games and being face to face with your opponent.

Here's an ad from an old magazine from my childhood.

I was fortunate enough to see almost all of those games in person in 2002.  Here is how I would rate the games personally.  To me the single greatest game I have ever been to was game 6 and it isn’t even close.  Game 7 just felt like an after thought.  Game 3 against the Yankees (first home game), where the Angels came back from being down 4 runs was the 2nd best game I have attended.  After that it has to be game 7.  Go back and watch game 3 of the ALDS Angels versus Yankees, that was an amazing game and after winning that game, it was the first time I felt we could win it all.  

Such a great game!

Not sports-related but I just started watching "Schitt's Creek" and man, what a great show.

It's excellent.

Lots of video games for me. Lots of streaming shows and movies. I highly recommend Better Call Saul. First 4 seasons are on Netflix and new episodes are on AMC Monday night. I agree Schitts Creek is a good show. Of course Curb your enthusiasm is a must. I'm not gonna list all shows. So much out there.

Glen are you giving a Thumb's Up Schitt's Creek?

In the "things to do" category.... get up at a set time and go for a walk every morning if you can.    Helps start the day off right with a healthy routine and takes the edge off of cabin fever.
