Fantastic mix of dominant ballplayer and borderline loony behavior.

“The Rube has a two million dollar body and a two cent head.” — couldn’t have summed it up better!

Good Stuff.

Really enjoyed your series of write-ups by the way, keep ‘em comin’!

He is certainly well rested. However, for fantasy advice, best go to Grey; I am 11th place in my RCL, with an ERA approaching 5.00

Bill Brasky may use a rattlesnake as a condom, and death may have once had a near-Chuck Norris experience, but Rube sounds like a good enough guy. And a fantasy baseball nightmare/demigod all at once! I’m just trying to hold off on adding “gator wrestling” to the bucket list.

Everything that pitchers have in their arsenal today was probably used by the Rube. Wish there was a radar gun in his days.

Thanks!

Have to check your team out. A fan of the Rube! My fav ballplayer of all time. Never heard of the puppies, though. There are so many Rube stories that I could write a number of articles and have stories left over.

The first site I will hit when it is out would, of course, be Razzball.

Maybe I’m the only reader who doesn’t know who wrote it, but it certainly deserves a by-line.

Thanks for telling the story.

Who doesn’t love puppies after all? Distracted by shiny objects, puppies, and fire engines, that’s my kind of guy!

Good stuff, nice work putting that all together Paulie
