Kyle Tucker's next contract is expected to be substantial, potentially reaching $600 million or more in free agency. Some projections even suggest he could sign a deal exceeding $700 million. One projection has him signing a 14-year, $604 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. The Chicago Cubs,where he is currently playing, are facing the challenge of potentially not being able to afford him due to his projected high price tag, according to Cubbies Crib

Not at all top-heavy! Fortunately for his continued uprightness, the terrain looks fairly level.

The hot climate and flat landscape says... Gulf coast.
The engineering says... Alabama or Mississippi.
The fact that he was proud enough to take & share a photo of it...

Gotta be from Alabama!

Dang! That's tough! How about limiting it to a genre?

But I can tell you my "guilty pleasure" movie (not esteemed by critics as a truly great movie): the original "The Big Sleep" (1946), starring Bogie and Bacall.

Aside from its sterling credentials--directed by Howard Hawks, screenplay by (the) William Faulkner and Leigh Brackett, taken from a novel by Raymond Chandler--the plot is so perplexing that even Raymond Chandler wasn't sure it actually made sense. But that's what makes it repeatedly watchable for me--plus, all those cool film noir detective bits.

It's also filled with subtle humor that's easily missed the first viewing. In this early scene, Bacall wants to learn what Bogie and her father were talking about in the (hot & humid) greenhouse. The butler is so good.


Another thing I love about these old movies is how creatively they had to handle sex, back when every line had to clear the Hays Office censors. In this meeting, after they finish some business, they have an X-rated sex conversation... about "betting on horses."

Might as well trade him wherever he wants to go in free agency and get a haul in return.
