 Idaho selects 1918 Babe Ruth.

:siren: Pungry and the Seattle Cagey Bees are on the clock. :siren:

1918 Babe Ruth takes Ryan Zimmerman's place in the lineup both defensive and offensive.

 No, Idaho generally tends to get my hopes up for a month or two and then crater horribly. I believe I have at least 10 posts of "wait what how the gently caress" in regards to early successes of previous iterations of the Taters.

We'll see how this one works out though. My guess? Not well.

I'm actually kind of surprised we're this close to .500, to be honest.

Also I'm kind of curious just how many times we've been caught stealing because holy loving :laffo: at those steal numbers. My favorite is Crazy Legs Canseco with 5 steals.

Also also let's put Wade Boggs as DH in the same slot in the lineup just because.
