“Cherry Bomb” off John Mellencamp’s 1987 album The Lonesome Jubilee, and here on a two-LP set of his greatest hits during 1978-1988, which could’ve been a four-LP set (the man has many hits). #johnmellencamp #vinyl https://t.co/5GTalkA9ej

“Gardening at Night” from R.E.M.’s 1982 debut EP Chronic Town. This is my copy I bought that year, which I wrote my name on so no one would abscond with it from my dorm room. #rem #vinyl https://t.co/FdrtW2rCjJ

Brown: Poems

Kevin Young
David O'BrienDavid O'Brien

Single most dominant pitching season I covered was Kevin Brown’s 1996 for the Marlins (look it up; he was ridiculous that year). Best “all-around” pitcher that I or arguably anyone else has covered was Smoltzy, who won a Cy Young starting and for a period was MLB’s best closer.
