UnderArmour backed out of the deal to make MLB jerseys beginning in 2020, and it looks like Nike will supply them instead.

I...like it? Philadelphian by birth and all that...

Fair point, though falls under "modern enough that can be renovated", versus, say, trying to upgrade a 1970s-era concrete donut. From a similar era, the White Sox have also done a good job of transforming The Artist Formerly Known as Comiskey Park II over the years, complete with sawing off the top part of the stadium.

My comments were limited to trainwreck stadiums, not trainwreck franchises.

And the Rangers, etc. I assume once Oakland and Tampa are figured out, that should be it for the next 30 years. Maybe the Angels and Royals. Everyone else has either a more-than-modern-enough stadium that can be renovated to keep current, or a historical one.

I’m looking forward to Joe Buck robotically reading Smackdown drops on-air during the World Series, complete with those really forced “There’s the cast from....[show]” with Roman Reigns and Ronda Rousey sitting in the stands, pretending to care about the game. I also assume Smackdown gets preempted for the World Series whenever a game falls on a Friday.

They put up another couple dozen Mid-South episodes; mostly from 1983.

Go the opposite route - Title can change via DQ; Nakamura goads AJ into snapping and delivering a ballshot, resulting in AJ getting himself DQ'd.

This is a perfect reason why there should be dates published on stories and press releases.

I had no idea this happened, and promptly went and found it. Thank you!

Toilet Lid?

I remember those tv matches with Abby really confusing me; up to then I had only heard of him through various photos in magazines where he was covered in blood, and then seeing him show up and wrestle a straightforward squash with an elbowdrop finisher - it just didn't match up to my expectation at the time.

Cornette circa-1986 would be a great manager/mouthpiece for Nakamura. As a plus, there would be groin strikes with the tennis racket.
