I didn't mean we should sign him. It's just the above list showed him still with the Rangers. If he did want to sign a 1 year contract for cheap I think he would be good for the young guys.

When Max did pitch, which was not much or often, he was OK. Offer him $10 (or 15 million?) for a last hurrah to retire as a Nat.

And with Rainey gone, there is nobody left from the 2019 team.

My phone just popped up with a "new story" sequencing my gallery of pictures from the 2019  victory parade.

I would be curious if the exposure during the Nats 2019 season had a detectable impact on the song's spread. Probably not as it was viral, but the World Series is a pretty watched event. I guess that audience is predominantly outside the target demographic for Pinkfong

I have it in my workout playlist, as well as Take On Me. Both give me a boost of energy as I remember what a wonderful rush both of those years were.

I just checked on Andrew Stevenson. He is still playing in the Mexican League, for Campeche. He hit well last season, for the Durham Bulls, Tampa's AAA team. Should have kept Stevenson, and sent Victor Robles to Nome, in the Alaska League, playing ice hockey.

That's the Victor we know so well.
