Thank you so much!!! I’ve been burying my eyes on it so far…
If you know the name of the felony being committed, press one. To choose from a list of felonies, press two. If you are being murdered or calling from a rotary phone, please stay on the line.

That sound you hear is me dropping everything.
When she gets home, I’ll give my wife 10 minutes to talk to me about anything her heart desires. Then, she can’t bother me for about a month.
Thanks, John and Jeri!

Got mine … just one question …. What happened to Jason Knapp … Went from Kilnker, Knecht, Kobernus
by Petes999 on Jan 31, 2026 6:39 PM EST reply actions
knapp
Hmm….I remember writing a comment about him and he is listed in the index as a Grade B. This looks like a production error of some kind….somehow the comment got dropped.

Any chance
You could email us the comment, like you did with the 50/50 list? If not, no problem. Thanks!

Sadly...no luck yet in Mich
And that’s a lot closer to Iowa than many of you lucky SOBs….guess that Midwest weather could be a factor.

Didn’t see it out on the porch until I went to sprinkle ice out on the walk. I should thank the postman for not stuffing it roughly into the box.

Talk about perfect timing, just in time for the blizzard here!
Frank Costanza: `What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?! `He had 30 home runs and over 100 RBIs last year. He`s got a rocket for an arm. You don`t know what the hell you`re doing!.......... George `Big Stein` Steinbrenner: `Well, Buhner was a good prospect, no question about it. `But my baseball people loved Ken Phelps` bat. They kept saying `Ken Phelps! Ken Phelps!` `

It seems notably heftier than previous editions (I’ve been buying it every year since the STATS days), and IMHO the individual reports this year seem to be more thorough and thoughtful than ever. Kudos.

Best line so far
I’m debating between the entire analysis of Triunfel and the final line on Vader (and I’m truly impressed at the self-control). John, as much as I respect your evaluation, your writing is what sets you apart from the others in this field!

Thanks….that is one advantage I have over BA, for example….I have much more room to be creative.

Forgotten Michigan.....woe is us
Jeri emailed me back….Michigan was mistakenly omitted somehow in the mailing labels….good thing I wasn’t waiting by the mailbox:) Should be here soon now….also a good thing I emailed her…
by billybgame on Feb 3, 2026 7:22 AM EST reply actions
yeah
Yes, several orders for the states of Michigan and Minnesota were somehow deleted from the mailing list. We have corrected the error and apologize for the delay.

What happened to the Minnesota love? :)
just got back into town ready to rip into the book…guess I gotta patiently wait a little longer. :( It’ll be worth the wait though… :) Thanks for all the work you guys do. There’s always going to be a bump or two in the road…
