@vossbrink @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry During the 1960s, the NL home run champ was either Hank Aaron or a San Francisco Giant. — PolitiTweet.org

@eduardobonill1 @SABRbbcards @Orioles @oriolesrise @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry I guess Tippy is kind of forgotten now but he was a key part of that pitching staff for several years. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@kmaru1701 @Orioles @oriolesrise @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry That's kind of an argument for Altobelli as a difference-maker. I followed those O's teams very closely; as is usually the case, there were a ton of little things that added up that year. They might've won in '83 with Weaver. Or not. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

Bob Bonner, seen in early 1980s as @Orioles shortstop of the future, appeared in 6 games in 1983 with no plate appearances. https://t.co/vJhaduoJpK — PolitiTweet.org

Three Hall of Famers on 1983 @Orioles. Team has never been to a World Series without @Jim22Palmer - 1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1979, 1983. I thought young phenom @CalRipkenJr would play in plenty more. https://t.co/hxedl1KYcq — PolitiTweet.org

@JzVintage @baseball_ref @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry I had a pretty robust collection when I was 11, but not that good! Stay tuned for future carpets... — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@DiamondStarsGM @baseball_ref @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry Trout just hasn't played long enough; Matty ranks 28th, just after Maddux and ahead of Randy Johnson. I tend to think of Matty and Big Train as roughly on par. — PolitiTweet.org

@X5ms2 @GrandCards @baseball_ref @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry Hard to compare pitchers and position players but I think this mix is plausible. — PolitiTweet.org

@463doubleplay2 @baseball_ref @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry I was waiting for a Kid Nichols question! I limited my list to players whose careers were predominantly 1900 and after. Also, I have no Kid Nichols card. — PolitiTweet.org

WAR: What is it good for? Whatever you think of the stat, the @baseball_ref list of top 21 all-time WAR leaders is a pretty solid group. @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry https://t.co/B5cETpA5bI — PolitiTweet.org
