This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Interesting about Thompson by saintapollonia
his teammate was Tim Stoddard. He's from East Chicago. He, obviously then, played on the team that beat UCLA (avenging loss) to break their chain. He'd been a state champion on the hoops team (loaded). He was part of that 84 Cubs team that broke my heart (screw you Garvey), actually then signed with the Padres for 85 in Free Agency
He and Kenny Lofton (also East Chicago) are the only two to play on World Series team and NCAA FF.
I'm drawing a blank though on the trivia answer.
