5 out of 10, 78 seconds. Hey, I'm satisfied with five right.

Yankees retiring CC Sabathia’s number shows the sad state of our standard for greatness By Phil Mushnick, New York Post CC Sabathia will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer. If we listen closely, we can hear the grandfather, a lifelong Yankees fan, speaking to his grandson: “Oh, yeah, so many memorable moments. Did I ever tell you that I was in Yankee Stadium the day they retired CC Sabathia’s number? Yeah, what a special moment! “What was his number? Darned if I remember. It was one of those big ones, fifty-something. Or was that the number he wore during his eight years with Cleveland?” Everything about Yankee Stadium — except ticket prices, parking fees, and the cost of eats and drinks — seems to be done on the cheap and the cheesy. Last week we learned that the team will hold a pregame ceremony Sept. 26 during which Sabathia’s No. 52 will be retired along with the all-time greats. Was Sabathia an all-time great Yankee? No. He was an all-time pretty good pitcher whose ERA four times exceeded 4.70. He was further known as a slob who spoke vulgarities as a matter of discourse while growing too heavy to field his position. He even grew demonstrably angry with batters for having the audacity to reach first base against him by bunting toward first, as if his corpulence hadn’t begged opponents to take advantage of it. But, you know how it goes … “the game has changed.” One is left with the sense that the Yanks, eager to fabricate a ticket-pushing “special game,” landed on Sabathia’s name and availability. Thus he’ll be honored right up there with Ruth, Mantle, DiMaggio, Ford, Berra, Howard, Rivera, Jeter, Dickey and Gehrig. CC Sabathia tips his cap to the fans in 2019. And good enough has become the new great. Besides, what does it now take to be enshrined in sports halls of fame? Bud Selig, despite playing blind and stupid to MLB’s records-smashing Steroids Era, was a fast-lane entrant to the Baseball Hall Of Fame. The Basketball Hall of Fame is swollen with college coaches whose fame and financial fortunes were predicated upon documented and sanctioned cheating. Finally, Joe Biden bestowed the country’s highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Honor, on Megan Rapinoe — for many Americans the most repulsive, proudly unsportsmanlike, self-smitten, self-entitled, and anti-American athlete ever to compete on an international stage.

9 out of 10, 90 seconds. I don't care if I got nine right because these were some tough questions.
-
All I can do is clap Jim! Way to go.

This month is going to be tough on me because I am facing five Tuesdays in March. I know we all have to but Tuesday is the worst for me. At least all of you do pretty well and since I don't know what India did in the World cup in any year or any other question that pertains to that &^%$ sport of soccer, I am beat. 😭

10 out of 10, 44 seconds. With questions like the ones I had (who was known as the Bambino?) I had to get them all right but the time?? Ok, here are the final results from last month. It was a close one.
-
7 out of 10, 76 seconds. I thought I did better than this but I was tripped up on a Nolan Ryan question and two others.

You said you were looking for a copy of 2K12. This is the 2011 version and that is a HUGE difference from the 2012 one. 2K11 is much cheaper and easier to acquire.
-
Yes. I am sure when you get the copy of 2k12 in your hands it will have the provided serial number there. When you have that you'll be off to the races.

You can not download a warez version of any game here and expect support.

10 out of 10, 38 seconds. Thank God for Fridays even though I had a slow day.

8 out of 10, 66 seconds. Two Tiger Woods questions today. I don't know a lot about him except the basics.
-
10 out of 10, 44 seconds. These questions thankfully were on baseball history and not on baseball card questions, which I know very little about. For example one I got was 'who was the winning pitcher in game seven of the 1955 World Series?" The answer of course is Johnny Podres.
-
5 out of 10, 73 seconds. Another Tuesday. That explains it all. I got the same question and I got it right. I guessed it.
-
9 out of 10, 82 seconds. Good score but I was too slow for my own good.
-
Oh good Lord. I pay attention to Scranton and Trenton as much as I do the Yankees. I got to find out about these guys now.

What league are the Savannah Bananas in?
-
9 out of 10, 39 seconds. I missed one I shouldn't have and then have you ever had a day when you thought you went pretty fast and then discovered that you had a slow day? That's what I had today. One week left. This is going to be a close one.
-
9 out of 10, 60 seconds. Some tough one today that had to read over but it was ok just not time-wise.
-
As they say in baseball you were in the zone! Great job.
-
Yeah, that wasn't too long ago either.
-
It could be. He's known for that but 32 seconds is tough to beat no matter how you look at it.
-
Good going man! 32 seconds is going to be tough to beat.
-
10 out of 10, 38 seconds. This leaves the door wide open for everyone to run right past me. Stop and wave if you have time! 🙂

5 out of 10, 60 seconds. Again a bad day. This has been a forgettable week.
