Congrats to J-Roll, Stanford/Cal 25 Years Later

Congratulations to Jimmy Rollins, who was awarded the National League MVP award today. As I have mentioned several times on this blog, I believe this award went to the right guy, as J-Roll provided the best mix of offensive firepower, gold glove defense, and tremendous leadership of any player in the league. Nothing against Matt Holiday, who had a tremendous year, but Rollins was sensational throughout 2007. Now hopefully he can lead them to some playoff WINS next year.

The most famous play arguably in college football history was the last play of the Stanford-Cal game 25 years ago today. JPL, I am sorry to have to do this to you, but I just watched a show on that play, and the refs made not one but two bad calls that gave the game to Cal. One of the players had a knee on the ground before he pitched the ball, which should have ended the game. Then the last lateral was actually a forward lateral. Still an awesome play, but I cannot stand when refs determine the outcome of games, so in the Dils official records, I am going to have to give Stanford a 20-19 win.
