- If you weren't alive for Bucky Dent, how could you be impacted by Bucky Dent? - Will Hunting Oct 12, 17:59 24
  - A personal example for me along those lines is the 1976 Grey Cup - Reagen Oct 12, 18:04

    - because you're having a different debate from everyone else? - TFox Oct 12, 18:05 10

        but the difference really isn't the baseball being played, as much as the expectations put on it by the fans. you are told to expect better things... - TFox Oct 12, 18:13 6

        I love how you always act like I'm going to go around enforcing this rather than just using it as a way to discuss sports. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 18:22
        
        can we modify it to "allowed, but cool it, don't freak worse than the 60 yr old in the same bar, or he's within his rights to punch you"? -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 18:20 1

        Somehow, the White Sox got shafted through all that. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 18:14 1
        
        Oh, the Sox fans cared. - the liioulu with empty bottle Oct 12, 18:19
        
        If there were born after say 1983....the Cubs fan has it better. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 18:12
        
        Or maybe more if a Cubs fan has suffered more than a Royals fan. - the liioulu with empty bottle Oct 12, 18:11
  - I mean, for my friends, the oldest Sox that can be their favorites are like Boggs and Evans. For the Yankees fans, it's basically Mattingly. - TFox Oct 12, 18:02 10

      - well apples and oranges, since interactions between countries are far more important and far-reaching. - Reagen Oct 12, 18:14 7
        
        I'll give as good an example as I can. David Tyree and Aaron Boone. - TFox Oct 12, 18:18 4

        both occurred well within the recent past, though. - Reagen Oct 12, 18:24
        
        neither do i. i guess both, because you're both on weird extremes and i like the middle, where i'm right. :) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 18:22

        I don't see it as narrowing it all that much. - Reagen Oct 12, 18:20
    - (In fact, the oldest player I remember *loving*? Chris Sabo. For the same reason I loved Horace Grant. The goggles.) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 18:04
- I assume he just picked a round number and didn't mean it as a hard cut off. - Reagen Oct 12, 17:59
- i mean, they can cry if they want. you can't fake tears. people cry at all sorts of shit. - TFox Oct 12, 17:57
Right. Exactly. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 17:50
(at which point i glance up the thread and notice that this is the point of the entire thread. ignore me.) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 17:48
