Happy New Year, no more to say Happy New Year, all right.

Hello and welcome to episode 999 of Effectively Wild, the daily podcast from baseball

perspective presented by our Patreon supporters and the play index at baseballreference.com.

I am Ben the Berk of the Ringer joined by Sam Miller of ESPN. Hello.

Hey, how are you? All right. All right. Yeah. Thanks to everyone for all the nice words.

I don't know why I'm saying this. Most of the words we're about you, but a lot of nice words about

peaked at 70 on the hip hop charts in 1994. Here comes the best sentence ever written. You ready?

an engine. All right, here comes the sentence. Here's the sentence. The second was all remixes of his

original album and it started higher and wasn't released until 2005.

Did it chart? It did not chart. That is for an extent. It did not chart. He retired from the game in

2006. Well, at least he put it out there unlike Matt Kemp. Yeah, that's who you did find that
