Somewhere I still have my Steve Stone-autographed program from his 1980 Cy Young season w/ the Orioles. I do not have a copy the July 1983 of Playgirl that he was naked in.Wolter wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 9:40amOr was that Steve Stone?WestwayKid wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 9:26amDidn't Steve Yeager once appear in Playgirl?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 6:11amI specialize in being ignorant of common knowledge.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑23 Sep 2018, 10:43pmYou didn’t know that?

Top Ten makes sense, as does Fifty or a Hundred—our metric counting habits, after all. Forty always seemed an odd cut-off to me.Kory wrote: ↑11 Oct 2018, 1:32pmThat's a good one.

Re: Today I learned …
Never knew that although I am much more comfortable with the #40 than #50. As someone who has some OCD 40 is a great number it is square and tidy and divisible lots of of ways. 50 is awkward and ugly.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Oct 2018, 1:31pm… the origin of the Top Forty came from the maximum number of records a jukebox held back in the 40s and 50s.

Have I mentioned that I just learned that the lyrics to Blister in the Sun are "when I'm OUT walking, I strut my stuff..." and not "when I'M-A walking, I strut my stuff?" Because I just learned that.
