    They all had over active pituitary glands?

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    They were all drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks but played 0-2 years with the team.

    Erving was dtafted by the Bucks but chose the Virginia Squires after a lengthy legal battle involving the Atlanta hawks, who signed Julius before the Bucks drafted him. The Bucks, at the time, still had Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Bobby Dandridge, Lucius Allen and Oscar Robertson.

    English player for the Bucks for 2 seasons before leaving as a FA. His career blossomed shortly afterwards.

    Nowitski was drafted by Milwaukee, a city with a large German population, but was traded to Dallas before ever playing a single game.

    All of these players could have greatly altered the Bucks history.


    (By the way, I lived in Milwaukee in the late 60's to early 70's and witnessed my Packers and Bucks winning championships before moving to Portland, ME and switching to a Red Sox fan.)

    I was going to guess that they were all basketball players, and I was correct. I win!

    - From the 2004 ALCS Game 4 Gamethread. A reminder that no game is over until the final out is recorded, and things will always get better. Misspellings unchanged as a reminder that Yankees fans are just terrible.

    Imagine if Erving joined Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, Bobby Dandridge and Lucious Allen on the Bucks of the mid 70's. Maybe Jabbar never asks to be traded and the whole Laker-Celtic thingy never materializes.

    there's a thread about them in the wrong section of Talksox.com?
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win
