Does this picture of a TN player have a name? Looks like a 1969 photo.

That’s how you play the game OB! Just pick an old pic of some random player and hope whoever asks the trivia question doesn’t know who it is either and they just crown you Tennessee baseball trivia champion.

Bingo!
Condredge Holloway 27 consecutive games with a hit.

I'd feel more like a king if she was in my home as my wife. WOWSERS !!!

I thought w/that mustache it was a young Reggie Jackson. But this is a right-handed batter.
I didn't know Condredge Holloway played baseball at UT. So, I was in the dark all along.

Good eye OB! Very observant!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Ok, I’ve messed around with you yahoos enough, I have to get some work done.
I’m coming off a rough weekend and I’m on vacation starting Friday, so I’m teetering on being pretty much worthless right now!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

My hot take before I sign off.
Next year...
deGrom will be a Ranger
Judge will be a Met

I’ll check in later to see how bad I’m getting ripped for this.

That's what they call me .... they call me Mr. Observant OB.
That's a play on words from a movie starring Sidney Poitier.

28 games I think??

It’s never too early for us to start thinking about next years avi’s if Tennessee makes the baseball playoffs. It was fun having the Sandlot gang.

Are you still located in the Tampa area?

Are you still located in the Tampa area?

Braves on cusp of NL East title after sweep

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Yes, Clearwater Beach area.

You got electric power back up & running ok? TV & internet?

We were very lucky, never lost any of it. Horrible what happened to the south of us, that area was devastated.

I assume you're thanking your lucky stars (God) on a daily basis.

 

[VolPack22]

Swanson and Jansen are your series MVP’s imo.

I’ll go with Swanson and Olson. I still have a sour taste in my mouth over Jansen’s blown saves this season.

Could definitely see Judge being a Met. deGrom would never go to the Rangers. He wants to win something

 

[MAD]

Anybody seen @chuckiepoo lately?
Hope he is okay.

Yep, it’s fight or flight time for the Mets.
Are you gonna pout about it and rollover like a whipped dog or are you gonna pick yourself up outta the dirt, dust yourself off and punch somebody in the damn mouth?!

 

[taylorvol]

Good guess but no.

The record is from before Todd Helton played at UT.

Condredge Holloway?

His baseball number is retired. He was an incredible athlete for sure.
