  1. The two baseball players are Frank Thomas and Jeff Bagwell. The basketball question is a tough one. Have to give you credit Mike, you are good when it comes to trivia questions.

  2. Tough trivia once again, Mike. Thanks for the shoutout.

    It's crazy to see how well Greinke did for the Royals that one year. He's got to be one of the finer examples of guys who had all the tools, just not the mental capacity to pull it all together. If he wasn't on the DL for anxiety, he's on the DL for basketball injuries
