DHL Dan - LXXX

Shank 'treats' us to his first mailbag Picked Up Pieces column in two months:
Frank Robinson was probably the most underrated superstar ever

Picked-up pieces while transitioning from Fort Foxborough to Fort Myers . . .
Indeed - it takes a fair amount of work to transition from shitting on the New England Patriots to shitting on the Boston Red Sox...
■ Frank Robinson, who died Thursday at the age of 83, was quite possibly the most underrated superstar in the history of American sports.

Hall of Famer Jim Palmer called Friday to tell a story that reveals everything you need to know about Frank Robinson the competitor.
There's lots of good Frank Robinson stuff in the column, so it's worth checking out in full.

UPDATE AT 6:15 PM - Dan Shaughnessy, still a chiseler:
Mahomes (Patrick Mahomes' father) cited Mo Vaughn as one of his favorites and said he had no issues with the Boston media. He also pitched for the Mets in parts of 1999 and 2000 and said, “I loved playing for Bobby Valentine.”

I fully expect my expense account (“beers for Patrick Mahomes night before AFC Championship”) to bounce back from Globe accounting, but so far so good.
