Wednesday Night Open Thread

Earlier today, Alex Rodriguez jumped into third place on the all-time RBI list with 1,995. That’s pretty neat despite the inherent flaws with RBI. They’re like wins — you don’t rack up that many in your career without being pretty good. Anyway, A-Rod is in third place because RBI didn’t become an official stat until 1920, so MLB doesn’t acknowledge anything prior. In reality, A-Rod is tied for fifth all-time with Lou Gehrig, behind Hank Aaron (2,297), Babe Ruth (2,214), Cap Anson (2,075), and Barry Bonds (1,996). Those pre-1920 RBI did happen, after all. Still pretty cool either way.

Anyway, here is tonight’s open thread. This afternoon’s game will be replayed on YES at 7pm ET, if you’re interested. MLB Network will air a regional game later tonight, plus there’s also NBA and NHL postseason action on as well. Talk about those games, A-Rod’s milestone, this afternoon’s win, or anything else right here.
