I can't remember who or where, but it seems to me that I saw an autograph recently that the signer had put "GOAT" under the signature.
The only autograph like that that I would even be mildly interested in would be if it was an item signed by Fred Merkle. Can you imagine a T206 card signed that way?

From the broadcast booth ---
physicality and athleticism seem to have permeated the play by play and color dialogue in the past few years. 10, 20, 30 & 40 years ago both physicality and athleticism were virtually non existent. It must be due to evolution of the broadcasters. I'll bet the players haven't changed.

I know it’s a small complaint from an old man screaming at clouds, but the one that bugs me, especially when it is used by sportscasters and frequently so, is the phrase “at that point in time”. Like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. A “point” in time is gone before you can utter it, and the phrase is superfluous– use one or the other please. It may on very rare occasions be necessary to differentiate between a point in time and a point on a plane, but otherwise the meaning of “point” is readily inferred from its usage. I hope I made my point.
From the Department of Redundancy Department: Not long after I moved to Arizona many years ago a sportscaster actually was bemoaning some team’s performance by saying they “have lost their last five straight consecutive games in a row”. I kid you not.

And remember, fans...the next time you sell a card or "oooh" and "ahhh" over one someone else has, don't hesitate to use another worn out, over-used, cliche..."it has great EYE APPEAL!!!!!!"...as if it's a Rembrandt or a Van Gogh!

Irregardless of the fact...
Swell idea to make a drinking game of it. Iconic Bingo. Pick some of the words that have been mentioned in previous posts (iconic, GOAT, super, literally, etc.) and then go watch a live case/box break on Youtube. Hammered by the second pack.
