The Reds got Joe Morgan, Cesar Geronimo (two starters on the Big Red Machine), SP Jack Billingham, and two others for Tommy Helms and Lee May. Easily should be on this list.
Detroit traded a 20 year old minor leaguer named John Smoltz to Atlanta in August 1987 for Doyle Alexander.
For about two months, the deal looked great. Alexander went 9 and 0 with a 1.53 ERA and the Tigers won the division. Then he lost twice in the ALCS.
Smoltz won 213 games, saved 154 more as a closer, won the 1996 Cy Young and went into the Hall of Fame in 2015.
Which decision aged the worst?
Hi @jamierkennedy I’m wondering how you found this page? The writer of the page’s main story is my brother. I’d love to be able to access old stories and articles if possible. Thanks.
"So this is the plan, huh?"
Writes Guerry Glegg in the Ledger-Enquirer.
"This is how the golf gods will inflict further pain on Greg Norman, their favourite whipping boy.
Give him a huge lead in the Masters - the one tournament he covets the most - get his hopes up, set him up for the big kill and then - NNNYAA! - stick the dagger in his back.
So what will it be this time?
A final-round 59 by Nick Faldo? A 72nd hole eagle by Scott Hoch? A scorecard error resulting in disqualification? Wait, here’s one. Norman shoots another 63 to stretch his lead to double digits but wakes up Sunday morning with a tight back. Tom Boers [who we met earlier remember] loses his Masters badge and the Pinkerton guards won’t let him in the gate. Norman throws his back out on the first tee and withdraws.
No, it appears the golf gods know some mercy."

I’ve been playing for more than 40 years, have been a single digit handicap for 35 years, have witnessed ten holes-in-one, and am still eagerly awaiting my first. If I was ever picky about how it was going to go in, those days are long gone.
Let’s see your most memorable golf picture…this was taken at Carnoustie in Scotland. Pretty sweet memory!

What is the best quirky golf course in the world?
Is it Cruden Bay? With its famous “bath hole” and a truly blind par 3 and so much more? If not, then where? Maybe it’s the Old Course at St Andrews?
Do you like Cruden Bay?

First thing I’ve ever perfected, except for a shitty putting stroke. Has the school considered naming the scorer’s table after me?

3 straight runs to settle for a 50+ yard FG when you have Joe Burrow is inexcusable levels of cowardice

The teen comedy "The Hollywood Knights" had its wide theatrical release today in 1980. The film features Tony Danza & Michelle Pfeiffer in their film debuts, as well as Fran Drescher & Stuart Pankin in supporting roles. #80s #80smovies #1980s
Hey @British_Airways after canceling our flight you have about 80 people at baggage claim #11 waiting for our bags to show up before we go to the hotel. AirTags show the bags are on property. No one at BA seems to care. Terrible customer service at Heathrow today!
