Crap. It’s OE%. I own the mistake.

Even more OT. Speaking of building your own rig, my brother is STILL using his Heathkit he built in 1967! I dont know how many watts it is but it really get floor rattling loud.

Heathkit stuff was rock solid. Probably go another 20yrs. My first rig used a pair of these preamps my dad had built along with a completely home-brew vacuum tube diode power supply he had cooked up to go with them.

I forgot from our HoF project a while back how weak 3B was historically for the Tigers. A lot of long running average 3B in the club's history, particularly during dynasty eras (Wert, Brookens, Inge). Both WAR systems are unanimous that Fryman is the tops in club history. Kell is one of the most undeserving HOFers (as a player) and wasn't with the Tigers that long. It is scary how close Shane Halter and Zach McKinstry are to the top 10.

Does anyone have a record of that HOF?  I have a western digital HD that crapped out and I’ve yet to pursue getting anything off of it. If I had it that’s the only place it would be.

I was wondering the same thing.

WAR was still in the development stage back then.  It will be interesting to go back throught it and see how much it agrees with modern WAR calculations.

DT35456884 was a good poster.  I communicated with him on twitter for awhile.  He was doing the freep half marathon and I saw him and took his photo.

It's a shame his moniker wouldn't change if he rejoined.

Maybe next year it would. 😀
