What If?

by Brick. on Apr 30, 2011 11:44 AM EDT

What if 2011?

What if you have one of the best closers in the game?

What if your hero comes back?

What if he's healthy?

What if he doesn't need to put them on his back?

What if they can learn?

And trust?

And lead?

What if they can pick it?

And spin it?

And win it?

What if defense?

What if promise?

What if ace?

What if pitch?

What if switch?

What if clutch?

What if today is tomorrow?

What if speed?

What if power?

What if they believe?

What if you believe?

Amazing.

In the new Geico commercial, Marte sings "Let me be myself" on Wedge's front lawn (with the cavemen).

Baseball rules. I don’t care if the other sports lock themselves out forever.

I’m rooting for a double lockout.

Brick, you’re making it awfully hard on this skeptic. Is this just a month to remember or the beginning of a year to remember?

When I direct a 30-for-30 on the 2011 Cleveland Indians…you can’t bet that this will be a montage.

Tears in my eyes, literally. I could hear those words being spoken by the guy who’s doing the commercials.

This is now the most-rec’ed FanShot in the history of the site, i.e., in the three-plus years since the advent of recs.

Personally? I thought it was a little corny. I thought this deserved more love than it got.

The Top 25 is really a nice browse down memory lane. Lots of Andrew’s earliest nutjob photo posts, and who could forget tabler84’s “My Dad Is Neifi Perez. And I Cried On the Phone.” or junkballer’s epic debut “Anatomy of a Wasted Season” ?

In case anyone cares, the previous record-holder was Andrew’s next-to-last FanPost before becoming an Author. His last one was Hey Jay-Z!

Yes.

This fanshot was perfectly timed

Don’t forget the “Brick.’s Back” factor.

i also totally cheated and had a lot of help from andrew with the photos and he is the king of highly rec’d fanposts.

Wouldn’t have helped if I knew it was going to cost me the title.

I was a huge fan of YDW’s post, but I’m sure anyone could’ve guessed that.

I didn’t even know we could get that list view. Does that happen for stories too? I couldn’t figure out how to do it.

by afh4 on May 4, 2011 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions

I believe it is for FanPosts only.

by Jay on May 4, 2011 3:18 PM EDT up reply actions

Also! I hate that my original spring training diary was pre-crossover. Not because it couldn’t be rec’d but because the photo formatting got devoured.
