Some offseason drivel.
Simple ratio of number of instances of an FBS school's flair (including any alternate flairs) divided by the school's enrollment.
Note: This is a count of flair, not users. Example: If a user has [UCF] primary flair and [UCF alternate (the Citronaut)] secondary flair, that counts as 2 in the Flair column rather than 1. In other words, users who double up on their school's flair offerings count twice. There certainly are users who double up, but I feel like it does not affect the numbers much. This method makes sure to capture users who do not use their school's standard flair and instead use their school's alternate flair. (Note: Not every school has alternate flair. * Bearcat tears 😿 *)
Data sources:

• Enrollment (Some of these are out of date by a few years. This was the easiest source to pull from. I am not going to track down current official enrollment numbers for 133 separate institutions.)
• Flair count (Accessed 05/31/2023)

I've mentioned this before, but a great contradiction of the 90s is that while it was considered a decade where the horror genre, at least on film, was in a low ebb, it was a fabulous time if you were a kid, because youth horror was in a boom period. In particular, the runaway success of "Goosebumps" caused a truckload of other kiddie horror book series to be released to capitalize on that success. This gave you a lot of options to choose from in you were a 90s kids. For those with 90s nostalgia or just "Goosebumps" fans interested in similar fare, here's a sample of the similar series:
"Bone Chillers" - Perhaps the most blatant "Goosebumps" imitator series, especially since Tim Jacobus, the man responsible for "Goosebumps'" striking covers (his role in the success of the series cannot be understated), also did the covers for this series. Created by Betsy Haynes, although she only wrote the first 10 books and then got a "created by " credit for the remaining entries in the series while others wrote it. Like "Goosebumps", it also got a TV series, although it only lasted a year (and is now best known as an early credit for Linda Cardellini). 23 total books, the most famous probably being "Back to School" (about a lunch lady with a deadly secret) and the two "Frankenturkey" entries (yes, about a resurrected Thanksgiving dinner entree with an attitude).
"Shivers" - Dubbed the "Dollar Tree Goosebumps", this series from M.D. Spenser is one of the longest running series, lasting all the way to 36 books. Mostly notable for how dark and extreme they could get; one I possess, "The Curse of the New Kid", about a picked on kid who gains a deadly power to wreak retribution on his tormentors, has such things as bloody gore, violent death, an attempted sexual assault and the implication his parents have sex with the help of pornos. Yes, this was aimed for kids. Got to love 80s/90s youth fiction.
"Deadtime Stores" - 17 book series from the sister writing duo of Annette and Gina Cascone under the "A.G. Cascone" name. Also had Tim Jacobus doing some of the covers (including the first book, "The Terry of Tiny Town", where he clearly had Chucky in mind). Also had a TV series adaptation on Nickelodeon in the early 10s which only lasted a season. Some of the series was reprinted around the release of the TV series with new covers and the Cascone sisters credited under their own separate names (you're starting to see a pattern where publishers wanted an "R.L. Stine" style author name on their books).
"Shadow Zone" - My own personal favorite of the "Goosebumps" imitators, basically a "Twilight Zone" for kids where each book's protagonist slips in the titular shadowy realm where monsters and weird things are possible. 13 total books in the series and credited to "J.R. Black" (see, there that pattern again), but actually written by several different authors under that pseudonym. Had 2 film adaptations of books, "My Teacher Ate My Homework" (featuring Shelly Duvall) and "The Undead Express" (featuring a Wes Craven appearance).
"Spine Tinglers" - Another of the longer running series, going for 30 books. Also featured Tim Jacobus doing some of the covers (he was a busy, busy boy in the 90s). Most notable for one of the corniest author credits, the pseudonym "M.T. Coffin" (get it, get it?). Actually written by numerous authors, including Mike Ford, who recently did the throwback "Goosebumps"-style series "Frightville" and back in the 90s also did the spinoff book series for "Eerie, Indiana."
"Graveyard School" - A little different from the others, this 28-book series had a continuous setting with the titular school, in actuality Grove Hill Elementary School, but given its nickname due to its proximity to an abandoned graveyard (well that and all of the weird shit that keeps happening at it). Written by Nola Thacker under the pseudonym of "Tom B. Stone." Seriously, these puns are so bad.
"Spooksville" - Perhaps the best written of all of these series, not surprising since it comes from the pen of Christopher Pike. And unlike the others, this 24-book series has a continuous set of protagonists, as Adam Freeman moves to the titular town, befriends Sally, Watch, Cindy and Bryce and the gang of friends have to deal with all sorts of supernatural mayhem as the town more than lives up to its nickname. Adapted for television in 2013 that unfortunately died with "The Haunting Hour" once the Hub became Discovery Kids.
"Phantom Valley" - Only 9 books in this series which actually started the year before "Goosebumps', this is set at the Chilleen Academy in the titular valley and the stranger supernatural occurrences that the books' protagonists end up encountering. Notable for the unusual setting of rural Arizona (where author Lynn Beach grew up), so you get a fair amount of horseback riding and Wild West-style supernatural hijinks (like an abandoned Old West town haunted by the specters of vengeful gunslingers).
"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" - With "Goosebumps" making the jump from books to the TV screen in 1995, it only made sense that "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" would do the reverse and start up their own spinoff book series the same year. Running for 23 books (predominantly during the show's 3 year hiatus between the original run and the 2 revival series and ironically ending the month before the show returned in early 1999), this was written by numerous credited authors (most notably the uber-prolific John Peel, who wrote several books in the series). Only 2 were adaptations of episodes, 1 being "Cutter's Treasure", the other being "Nightly Neighbors" (the latter written by series creator D.J. McHale and his sister and with the entire second half basically being a sequel to the episode).
"Foul Play" - Only 4 books long, but all written by John Peel (very busy boy in the 90s, he was also writing the spin-off book series for the "Outer Limits" revival) and all revolving around children's games gone bad. "Hangman" involves a real lunatic out to hang you; "Tag You're Dead" takes the game to extreme levels; "Hide and Seek" places the game in a deadly haunted house and "Simon Says" makes it clear you REALLY shouldn't refuse Simon.
And I'm probably missing some, so if you want to add your own, be my guest. Needless to say, if you have 90s nostalgia or wish to expose your "Goosebumps"-loving kid to more like it, you have a lot to choose from.

1. should i carry a backpack or a duffel bag? the duffel bag i plan on bringing is on the smaller side and not one of those obnoxiously big ones. although i’m pretty sure everything i want to bring would fit into a backpack, it isn’t the most practical to me. i like the space inside a duffel, being able to lay things out and flat in there. a backpack would probably be less suspicious looking to have on my person. which should i choose?
   
2. need suggestions on a new place to go. crossing texas off my list as of now. i was also thinking of los angeles, but it seems like such a unsafe city. and i mean i guess you could really say that about any major city. i want to be somewhere warm and in the south because i’ll be leaving in the winter. i refuse to go to mississippi, alabama, louisiana, or florida for so many reasons. haven’t thought about arizona at all, could be an option. running away is illegal in texas, georgia, idaho, kentucky, nebraska, south carolina, utah, west virginia, and wyoming. so those are no longer options.
   

Yes… I’m not even joking. LIBAD is 40% metal and 60% anything else
We Love You is Metal mixed with classical sound
Mattel is heavy metal (the only true metal song on the album)
Nobody is hard rock and opera lol
We Love You is Thrash and Disco Jazz
Cosmic is literally a classic in the making that belongs on classical radio or soft rock 🤯
Beautiful Morning sounds like 70s heavy metal mixed in with country
Easier is literally a heavy Kayne West song With some southern sounding old school rock
G is like Van Halen Dream Theater Iron Maiden Beach Boys Lynyrd Skynyrd Zach Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Kayne West all decided to make a heavy metal song. This might be my favorite song just because of how funky it is. I love how it’s about God realizing how fucked up humanity has gone and just deleted us.
(O)rdinary is dance rhythm, beach country pop electronic music. This has ZERO metal in it. Like this is a POP song. You will hear it on alternative rock and Pop radio stations.
(D)earth is beautiful and gets your heart pumping at the end! But like there’s no heavy metal in it lol. It’s loud classical instruments.
LIBAD is just piano and should be played on classical radio stations.
So yeah not a heavy metal album. But ITS AWESOME

Jackie Jensen, "The Golden Boy", was a superstar athlete in the 1940s who seemed destined for greatness as the heir to Joe DiMaggio... only to be supplanted by a different golden boy, the great Mickey Mantle.
Jensen would eventually live up to the hype, but with the Red Sox -- but his career prematurely because, as baseball expanded to the west coast, his fear of flying made road games unbearable!
The Yankees between 1947 and 1964 were utterly dominant, winning 15 pennants and 10 World Series. And it wasn't just the major league team that was successful. The Yankees of this era were loaded up and down the system, from Rookie ball to their two Triple-A teams!
With such a loaded major league roster, the Yankees had many talented players stuck either on the end of the bench or in the minors who would eventually find an opportunity with other teams, including Bob Cerv, Vic Power, Gus Triandos, Lew Burdette, Jerry Lumpe, Bob Porterfield, and Bob Keegan, who would all be All-Stars with other teams. Clint Courtney would be the 1952 A.L. Rookie of the Year runner-up after the Yankees traded him to the Browns, and Bill Virdon was the 1955 N.L. Rookie of the Year with the Cardinals (and then Yankee manager from 1974 to 1975!).
But the most talented player who just couldn't find the playing time in New York was Jack Eugene Jensen, born March 9, 1927, in San Francisco. His parents divorced when he was 5, and he grew up poor, his mother working six days a week, 12 hours a day. Jensen said the family moved 16 times between kindergarten and eighth grade -- "every time the rent came due."
After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Jensen went to the University of California in 1946 on the G.I. Bill. There he became one of the most famous college players in the country, leading Cal to the Rose Bowl. In 1947, he was the starting fullback as well as the team's top defensive back, and in 1948, he rushed for 1,000 yards and was an All-American.
He also was a tremendous two-way baseball player, pitching and hitting for the Golden Bears in 1947 as the won the very first College World Series, beating a Yale team that had George H.W. Bush playing first base. In 1949, he was an All-American in baseball, too.
His blond hair, good looks, and athletic accomplishments earned him the nickname "The Golden Boy."
Halfway through his junior year, Jensen left Berkeley to turn pro. Jensen would later say he couldn't risk playing a career-ending injury playing for free while teams -- baseball and football -- were trying to sign him to big-money contracts.

"There was a money tree growing in my backyard. Why shouldn't I pluck off the dollars when I wanted to?"

Jensen considered a number of offers, including from the Yankees, before signing a three-year, $75,000 contract with the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League. Jensen said he thought he'd face better competition in the Pacific Coast League, the top minor league of the era, than he would at the bottom of the Yankee farm system. He was right about it being more of a challenge -- he hit an unimpressive .261/.317/.394 in 510 plate appearances with the Oaks.
At the end of the year, the Oaks sold his contract (and that of Billy Martin, another Northern California kid) to the Yankees.
That same year, Jensen married his high school sweetheart, Zoe Ann Olsen, an Olympic diver. (By age 18, she had won 14 national diving championships and a silver medal in the 1948 Olympics.) "Together they looked like a Nordic god and goddess," Sports Illustrated reported. Nicknamed "the sweethearts of sports," they were the Dansby Swanson and Mallory Pugh of their era. More than 1,000 people attended their wedding.
Jensen would start the 1950 season not in the minors but in the Bronx. He joined the Yankees in a time of flux. They though they'd won the 1949 World Series, the Yankees knew they had to make some changes, with 35-year-old Joe DiMaggio nearing the end of his career. And their heir apparent was not Mickey Mantle -- at the time an 18-year-old shortstop playing in the Class C league, the equivalent of A-ball today -- but the 23-year-old Jensen.
But Jensen disappointed, hitting just .171/.247/.300 in 70 at-bats, and only starting in 13 games. Watching from the bench most of the season, Jensen would later lament the lost year of development, saying he'd have been better off playing every day in the Pacific Coast League.
The Yankees won the pennant for a second straight year, and in the World Series he once again was left on the bench. His only action was as a pinch runner in Game 3 as the Yankees swept the Phillies. That "Moonlight Graham" appearance would be his only taste of the post-season in an 11-year career.
The following year would be DiMaggio's last, and Mantle's first. Jensen began the year as the Yankees' starting left fielder and proved he belonged, hitting .296/.371/.509 through the end of July... and then, shockingly, was demoted to Triple-A and replaced with previously forgotten Yankee Bob Cerv.
I can see why they called up Cerv -- the University of Nebraska stand-out was tearing up Triple-A, leading the American Association in batting average (.349), home runs (26), triples (21), RBIs (101), and total bases (261) -- but why demote Jensen, who had a 140 OPS+ in the majors? Maybe the Yankees felt the brash 23-year-old needed to be taken down a peg. In any event, Cerv hit just .214/.333/.250 in August and was sent back to Triple-A, but Jensen also was left down there. He hit .263/.344/.469 and was recalled after the Triple-A season ended, only getting into three games (he went 3-for-9).
Mantle, too, had started the season with the Yankees, and after hitting .260/.341/.423 through the middle of July, was sent down to Triple-A. But he hit .361/.445/.651 in 166 at-bats, and unlike Jensen was back in the bigs by August 24. He would play pretty much every game the rest of the season, hitting .284/.370/.495 in 95 at-bats.
The torch had clearly been passed -- Jensen was no longer the heir apparent to DiMaggio. In the World Series that year, Mantle was the starting right fielder, and Jensen wasn't even on the post-season roster.
Jensen was so disappointed with how the Yankees had treated him in 1951 that he talked to the San Francisco 49ers about switching to pro football, but ultimately decided to stick with baseball.
Never shy about what he said to reporters, Jensen told The Sporting News on October 24, 1951:

"I felt so badly about the treatment that I received from the Yankees that, although I was in New York at the end of the season, I didn't feel like sticking around to even watch the club play in any of the World's Series games."
"I do not feel the Yankees were justified in sending me to the minor leagues. When I was shipped to Kansas City, I was doing as good a job as any Yankee outfielder and better than some of them. I was hitting .296, which was ten points better than Hank Bauer and 30 points better than Joe DiMaggio, Gene Woodling and Mickey Mantle. Yet Casey Stengel didn't give me the chance I felt I deserved."

Despite blasting his manager in the press, Jensen was still the property of the Yankees. That off-season, teams were circling, hoping to pry away the talented but disgruntled outfielder. There were newspaper reports of offers from the St. Louis Browns, the Detroit Tigers, the Philadelphia Athletics, the Washington Senators, the Cleveland Indians, and the Boston Red Sox -- with one rumor being Ted Williams to the Bronx in exchange for Jensen and several other players. (A Red Sox scout called the rumored deal "a lot of hogwash.")
Sportswriters spent the off-season speculating whether DiMaggio would retire, and if he did, whether Jensen or Mantle would take over as the center fielder, as there were still concerns that Mantle, who had hurt his knee in the 1951 World Series, wouldn't be fully recovered by the start of the season.
On Opening Day, April 16, 1952, it was Jackie Jensen in center and Mickey Mantle in right. Jensen went 0-for-5 with a GIDP; Mantle, 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, and a stolen base! Seven games into the season, Jensen was 2-for-17 (.118) and found himself on the bench. He'd never play for the Yankees again. On May 3, the Golden Boy was traded to the Washington Senators along with Spec Shea, Jerry Snyder, and Archie Wilson in exchange for Irv Noren and Tom Upton.
In two years with the Senators, Jensen hit an impressive .276/.359/.407 (112 OPS+), but the team was terrible, and Jensen wasn't happy. Still just 26 years old, he later said he had almost quit after the 1953 season... particularly after a harrowing flight to Japan for a series of exhibition games with a squad of All-Stars that included Yankees Yogi Berra, Eddie Lopat, and Billy Martin. That experience gave Jensen a lifelong fear of flying, a phobia that became so intense eventually he could only fly with the help of sleeping pills... and a hypnotist!
He might have quit if not for the trade on December 9, 1953, that sent him to the Boston Red Sox for pitcher Mickey McDermott and outfielder Tom Umphlett. He was homesick, he hated flying, and he now had two little kids at home. Red Sox general manager Joe Cronin convinced Jensen to come to the Red Sox, telling him that Fenway Park was tailor made for his swing. Cronin was right: Jensen was a career .279/.369/.460 hitter, but .298/.400/.514 at Fenway.
It was in Boston that Jensen finally lived up to the hype, becoming a two-time All-Star and winning the A.L. MVP Award in 1958 and a Gold Glove in 1959. During his seven seasons in Boston, he hit .282/.374/.478 in 4,519 plate appearances. In his MVP season, Jensen hit .286/.396/.535 (148 OPS+) with 31 doubles, 35 home runs, and a league-leading 122 RBIs. During his peak with the Red Sox, 1954 to 1959, Jensen's average season was .285/.378/.490 (127 OPS+) with 28 doubles, 26 home runs, 111 RBIs, 14 stolen bases, and 3.6 bWAR. During those six seasons, no one in the American League -- not Mickey Mantle, not Ted Williams, not Al Kaline -- had more runs batted in than Jackie Jensen.
Of course, Mantle was the far better player -- even in Jensen's MVP season, Mantle had more runs, hits, home runs, walks, and a 188 OPS+ -- but Jensen's 127 OPS+ between 1954 and 1959 would have been an upgrade over the aging Hank Bauer's 110 OPS+ in right or the left field merry-go-round of Norm Siebern (113 OPS+), Irv Noren (107 OPS+), Enos Slaughter (103 OPS+), and previously forgotten Yankee Hector Lopez (101 OPS+). Casey Stengel would later say the Jensen trade was the worst one the Yankees had made while he was manager.
Despite his success, Jensen was sometimes booed by the Boston fans, just as they sometimes booed Ted Williams. There even was an article in Sport magazine, "What Do They Want From Jackie Jensen?", taking Red Sox fans to task for their unreasonably high demands from the Golden Boy. In 1956, in a game at Fenway Park against the Yankees, the hometown fans were razzing Jensen so much that teammates had to restrain him from going into the stands after a fan. Later that same game, Williams misplayed a wind-blown fly ball from Mantle, and the fans booed lustily. The very next play, Williams made a leaping catch at the scoreboard to rob Yogi Berra of a double. But Williams, still furious, spit into the crowd. He was later fined $5,000.
And Jackie was unhappy to be away from home. He and Zoe Ann had bought a house near Lake Tahoe, where they could both ski and golf year-round, as well as hit the casinos. They also had a home in Oakland, and a restaurant there, and each year Jensen hosted a pro-am golf tournament. But the marriage was struggling. Zoe Ann, once nationally known for her Olympic exploits, was frustrated to be a stay-at-home mom in the shadow of her famous husband, and Jackie became angry if she engaged in her favorite outdoor hobbies, suspecting there were men around.
Jensen's fear of flying also had become even more intense. Sometimes he was so drugged up that he had to be carried on and off the plane, fueling rumors that he was a drunk. Other times he took trains or even drove while his teammates flew.
Once again Jensen was talking about retirement, and in Spring Training 1957, the Red Sox allowed him to train with the San Francisco Seals, Boston's Triple-A team, rather than having to go to Florida. But he was still miserable. That year, he told Sports Illustrated:

“In baseball you get to the point where you don’t think you have a family. It just looks like I’m not built for this life like some ballplayers. You are always away from home and you’re lonesome, and as soon as I can, I intend to get out.”

The 32-year-old Jensen announced his retirement after the 1959 season, and he spent 1960 home with Zoe Ann and their children and running his restaurant. But he returned in 1961. After hitting just .130 in April, Jensen took a train from Detroit home to Reno, determined to quit once again. After a week away, he rejoined the team and had six hits in his next 10 at-bats. By the end of the season he was at .263/.350/.392, and this time he quit for good.
After leaving baseball, Jensen invested in real estate and a golf course, but lost most of his money. He then got a job working for a Lake Tahoe casino, was a national spokesman for Camel cigarettes, Wonder Bread, and Gillette, and even tried selling cars. Ironically, Jackie found himself on the road almost as much as he had been as a ballplayer. In 1963, he and Zoe Ann divorced, remarried, and then divorced again.
In 1967, Jensen became a TV sportscaster, married his producer Katharine Cortesi, and eventually teamed up with Keith Jackson calling college football games for ABC and a college baseball coach, first at the University of Nevada-Reno and then at the University of California, and he managed the Red Sox team in the New York Penn League in 1970. In 1977, Jackie and Katharine moved to Virginia and started a Christmas tree farm while he coached baseball at a military academy. About five years later, on July 14, 1982, he died of a heart attack at age 55.
You Don't Know Jack(ie):

• How good would Jackie Jensen have been as a Yankee? Maybe not great. He was a career .279/.369/.460 hitter, but just .238/.326/.398 at Yankee Stadium, which -- especially in that era -- was famously death on right-handed batters. Fenway Park was much more to his liking!
  
• Born in San Francisco in 1927, it's no surprise Jensen's favorite player as a kid was Joe DiMaggio, who made his debut with the San Francisco Seals when Jensen was a 5 years old. When Jensen made his major league debut, on April 18, 1950, DiMaggio went 3-for-6 with a triple in a 15-10 win over the Red Sox. Two weeks later, on May 3, Jensen made his first start, playing left field and batting second, and DiMaggio was in center and batting fourth.
  
• Jensen wore #36 at Cal. When he came up with the Yankees, he was first issued #40, then switched to #27, and finally to #25. (With the Senators, he wore #8, then #4; in Boston, he first wore #30 but primarily wore #4.) Currently, #40 is worn by Luis Severino. Other famous 40's include Chien-Ming Wang (2005-2009), Andy Hawkins (1989-1991), and Lindy McDaniel (1968-1973). #27 has been worn by Giancarlo Stanton since 2018; prior to him, it was worn by Austin Romine (2016-2017). It also was the number worn by Bob Wickman (1993-1996), Butch Wynegar (1982-1986), and Woodie Held (1954-1957). Gleyber Torres has worn #25 since 2018; it also was worn by Mark Teixeira (2009-2016), Jason Giambi (2002-2008), Joe Girardi (1996-1999), Jim Abbott (1993-1994), Tommy John (1979-1989), and Joe Pepitone (1962-1969).
  
• Jensen is one of six major leaguers to graduate from Oakland High School, but the only Yankee. Cal has sent 83 players to the majors, including twenty Yankees -- most notably, early 1990s pitcher Chuck Cary, 1930s infielder Lyn Lary, and 1990 A.L. ROY runner-up Kevin Maas.
  
• The Yankees during spring training in 1951 tinkered with the idea of using Jensen into a pitcher. Jensen had been a star pitcher at Cal, including pitching in the 1947 College World Series, and had pitched in a winter league that off-season. But he was bombed in a handful of spring training innings -- while crushing as a hitter -- and the Yankees decided to leave him in the outfield.
  
• College teammates said Jensen wasn't afraid of flying at Cal. His second wife Katharine said the phobia came from a near-miss experience on a flight early in his baseball career -- he looked out the window and saw another plane coming straight at him! The two planes managed to avoid each other, but he was never comfortable on a plane again.
  
• Billy Martin, who also had grown up in Northern California and was Jensen's teammate on both the Oakland Oaks and the Yankees, was merciless when it came to teasing Jensen about his fear of flying. In 1953, on a flight from Okinawa to Honshu to play a series of exhibition games in Japan, the plane ran into a bad storm and was bouncing pretty hard. Jensen, who wouldn't get on a plane without the help of tranquilizers, was blissfully sleeping through the turbulence. Martin found a lifejacket and put it on, then stood over Jensen and shouted "We're going down!"
  
• Arthur Ellen, a hypnotist that Jensen had used to try to cure his fear of flying, believed Jackie wasn't aerophobic at all. It was really a fear of losing his family. "Subconsciously, it developed as a good reason to leave the Red Sox and go home," the hypnotist said.
  
• Jensen is featured prominently in Norman Rockwell's famous 1957 painting, The Rookie. Jensen is the one seated on the bench tying his shoe in the middle of the painting. Standing behind him is Ted Williams, and sitting on the bench next to him is pitcher Frank Sullivan (#18). Wearing the catcher's mitt in the foreground is Sammy White, and the player with his hand over his mouth to the far right is Billy Goodman. Jensen, Sullivan, and White had gone to Rockwell's studio in Massachusetts to pose for the painting; the images of Williams and Goodman were based on photos. The shirtless player was one of Rockwell's assistants, and "the rookie" holding the suitcase was a local high school student!
  
• Boston sportswriters named Jensen the team's MVP in 1954, when he hit .276/.359/.472 with 25 home runs and 117 RBIs. I guess they were tired of giving the award to Ted Williams, who hit .345/.513/.635 that year, albeit in just 117 games as he had broken his collarbone in spring training. Williams didn't qualify for the batting title that year because he had only 386 at-bats... mostly due to his league-leading 136 walks. The rule was subsequently changed from at-bats to plate appearances.
  
• After Jensen was acquired by the Washington Senators, manager Bucky Harris -- who managed the Yankees when they won the 1947 World Series -- pulled him aside and told him he was the right fielder and he'd hit third. "No pep talk, no nothing, but he made it sound like I was the right fielder and third place hitter for a long time to come," Jensen later recalled. "It made me feel good." The 1950s Senators had a number of ex-Yankees and several of them told reporters that Harris was a much more low-key, hands-off manager than Casey Stengel, and Jensen agreed. "With Stengel it was always 'watch for that curve ball' or 'watch for that change up'," Jensen said. "Bucky leaves you on your own up there." But Jensen would later say Stengel was the smartest manager he'd ever had.
  
• Stengel obliquely mentioned Jensen in his famously long, rambling testimony before the Senate Anti-Trust and Monopoly Subcommittee on July 8, 1958. Asked about legislation that would exempt baseball from federal anti-trust laws, Stengel said about 7,000 words without really saying anything. The hearing was held the day after the All-Star Game -- the Stengel-managed A.L. All-Stars won, 4-3 -- and in the American League starting lineup were Jensen and two other ex-Yankees, Bob Cerv and Gus Triandos. Stengel was asked if the Yankees were going to continue to "monopolize" the World Series, and his confusing answer: "Well, I will tell you. I got a little concerned yesterday in the first three innings when I saw the three players I had gotten rid of [Jensen, Cerv, and Triandos] and I said when I lost nine what am I going to do? And when I had a couple of my players I thought so great of that did not do so good up to the sixth inning I was more confused but I finally had to go and call on a young man in Baltimore that we don't own and the Yankees don't own him and he is doing pretty well and I would actually have to to tell you that we are more the Greta Garbo-type now from success. We are being hated. I mean from the ownership and all we are being hated. Every sport that gets too great or one individual -- but if we made twenty-seven cents and it pays to have a winner at home why would you have a good winner in your park if you were an owner? That is the result of baseball. An owner gets most of the money at home, and it is up to him and his staff to do better or they ought to be discharged." After befuddling the committee with answers like that for 45 minutes, Stengel was excused and Mickey Mantle called upon. His opening statement: "My views are just about the same as Casey's."
  
• Casey Stengel later said Jensen plus Spec Shea, Jerry Snyder, and Archie Wilson to the Senators for Irv Noren and Tom Upton was the worst trade the Yankees made during his tenure. But in reality it was pretty much a wash for the Yankees. Jensen, in two seasons, would be worth 4.9 bWAR for the Senators before being traded. Shea, a right-handed pitcher who had been an All-Star with the Yankees as a rookie, pitched four years in Washington and was worth 2.9 bWAR. Snyder was a good-glove, no-hit infielder worth -0.1 bWAR in seven seasons with the Senators. (You must have a really good glove to last seven seasons with a 55 OPS+!) Wilson, at one point seen as a good prospect but now a 28-year-old minor league journeyman, only played 26 games in Washington before being traded. In exchange, the Yankees received the 27-year-old Irv Noren, an outfieldefirst baseman who played five years in New York and was an All-Star in 1954; he was worth 7.9 bWAR, making the trade essentially even by bWAR. (The other player the Yankees received, minor league infielder Tom Upton, never made it back to the bigs.) Prior to the 1957 season, Noren was traded to the Kansas City Athletics as part of a monster 13-player trade that included Clete Boyer, third baseman of the early 1960s dynasty!
  
• The two players Washington got from Boston for Jensen, Mickey McDermott and Tom Upton, were both future Yankees. McDermott was a left-handed pitcher whose father, Maurice McDermott, had played in the minors with Lou Gehrig. Mickey was just 25 years old at the time of the trade but had been in the majors for six seasons, going 48-34 with a 3.80 ERA (114 ERA+). In two years with the Senators, McDermott went 17-25 (but with a 3.58 ERA), then prior to the 1957 season was traded to the Yankees as part of a seven-player deal; he went 2-6 with a 4.24 ERA as a swingman, and closed out the Game 2 win in the 1956 World Series. After that one season in New York, he was part of the trade with the A's that brought back Clete Boyer.
  
• Umphlett, a 22-year-old infielder, was traded back to the Red Sox in 1955, and then the Red Sox traded him to the Yankees in 1962 for infielder Billy Gardner. He would spend 1962 and 1963 in Triple-A for the Yankees, then ended his career in the minors with the Minnesota Twins -- the team that had been the Senators until 1961.
  
• In 1956, the anthology television show Cavalcade of America had an episode called The Jackie Jensen Story. Jackie had a cameo as the adult version of himself, but the 30-minute episode was focused on Jackie's teenage years and the influence of his middle high school coach, a man named Ralph Kerchum who became a father figure. The coach was played by Ross Elliott, a Bronx native whose most memorable role might have been as the director in the Vitameatavegamin episode of I Love Lucy.
  
• Jensen's MVP in 1958 broke a string of four straight MVP awards for Yankees -- Yogi Berra in 1954 and 1955 followed by Mickey Mantle in 1956 and 1957. Nellie Fox of the White Sox won it in 1959, and then the Yankees won it four years in a row again -- Roger Maris in 1960 and 1961, Mantle in 1962, and Elston Howard in 1963. Then a long drought -- the next Yankee to win it would be Thurman Munson in 1976.
  
• Going by bWAR, Mantle should have won it a third straight year in 1958 -- his 8.7 bWAR led the league, followed by Frank Lary at 6.7 and Al Kaline at 6.5. Jensen's 4.9 was 10th that year. Of course, they didn't have bWAR back then!
  
• Jackie won a Gold Glove in 1959; it was just the third year of the award's existence, or he might have won more. "Right field in Boston is a bitch, the sun field, and few play it well," Ted Williams said. "Jackie Jensen was the best I saw at it." Jensen was renowned for his throwing arm -- he twice led the league in assists, and twice led the league in double plays as an outfielder. One Yankee scout said he had the best arm he'd seen since previously forgotten Yankee Bob Meusel, usually said to have the best cannon in baseball history until Roberto Clemente came along.
  
• Jensen was well known for his brashness, especially compared to Mantle's aw shucks attitude. Mantle, asked if he thought he could beat out Jensen to replace DiMaggio in center field, humbly replied that there were three positions in the outfield and he hoped to win any one of them. Jensen, on the other hand, vowed he'd "out-run, out-hit, and out-throw" Mantle, an arrogant answer that didn't go over well with teammates. Joe DiMaggio, asked what he thought of the duel for his old job, quipped that Mantle was "out-quoting" Jensen.
  
• When Mantle was asked what he thought about Jensen's quote, he replied: "I don't know what to make of that guy." Jensen would later say he was misquoted, but reports of his cockiness would follow him throughout his Yankee years. Later in life, Jensen said people mistook his shyness and anxiety for arrogance and rudeness.
  
• According to Sports Illustrated, Jensen is the only player to have played in the East-West football game, the Rose Bowl, the World Series, and the Major League All-Star Game. I'll take their word for it!
  
• As a freshman at Cal, the first time Jensen touched the ball -- on a punt return -- he ran it back for a 56-yard touchdown. Cal quarterback Charles Erb said they'd never seen anything like it. "He was all over the field, dodging and leaping over guys. The rest of us just stood there on the sidelines with our mouths open. Finally somebody said, 'Who in the hell is that guy?' "
  
• Jensen is one of two "forgotten" Yankees in the College Football Hall of Fame -- the other is 1960s catcher Jake Gibbs. (Other Yankees in the College Football Hall of Fame include John Elway, who was in the Yankee minor league system before joining the Denver Broncos, and Deion Sanders, who was on the Yankees in 1989 and 1990.) Jensen also is a member of the Cal Hall of Fame, the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame, and... ugh... the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
  
• Despite his speed -- Jensen led the league in triples in 1956 and in stolen bases in 1954, and was in the top five in stolen bases in six seasons -- Jackie also was prone to grounding into double plays, leading the league in 1954, 1956, and 1957. His 32 GIDPs in 1954 was the major league record until Boston's Jim Rice hit into 36 in 1984, which is still the single-season record. Rice also had 35 in 1985. Jensen's 32 is tied for third with four others. The most by a Yankee? Dave Winfield with 30 in 1983, which is tied for 14th.
  
• Jensen lost most of his baseball earnings through a series of bad investments. His ex-wife, former Olympian Zoe Ann, later became a blackjack dealer in Reno to pay the bills.
  
• Jensen had four appearances on the popular show Home Run Derby, and set a record for most home runs in one match when he defeated Ernie Banks, 14-11, in Episode 24. The 25 combined home runs also was a record. He took on Mickey Mantle in Episode 3, with Mantle winning, 9-2, then defeated Rocky Colavito, 3-2, in Episode 25. He rematched against Mantle in Episode 26, with Mantle winning again, 13-10. Jensen set another record in that contest when he became the only player to hit four home runs in a row, and then a fifth home run in a row. That episode was supposed to be the season one finale, but it turned out to be the last episode of the series: The show's host and producer, Mark Scott, died of a heart attack at age 45, shortly after the last episode aired, and two months later the show's 64-year-old director Benjamin Stoloff also died. Rather than replacing them, the show was cancelled.
  
• Jensen's last game came against the Yankees, on October 1st, 1961, at Yankee Stadium. He appeared as a pinch hitter and popped out to shortstop Tony Kubek. In the 4th inning of that game, Roger Maris hit his 61st home run, breaking Babe Ruth's single-season record!
  
• Jackie and Zoe Ann had two sons, Jon and Jay, and a daughter, Jan. Jay's son, Tucker Jensen, was a pitcher in the Blue Jays farm system in 2011 and 2012.
  

In 1958, Jensen told Sports Illustrated that the biggest thrill of his career wasn't being an All-American or an All-Star, it wasn't winning an MVP or a World Series. "The biggest is having played in the same outfield with both DiMaggio and Williams."

There’s an old cold storage warehouse here, dating from the ‘20’s. Long out of use, closed down decades ago, but still standing.
Two high floors, with another partial third story added on on top. The first two floors more like a 3-story building in height, with the great height of the interior ceilings of each.
You can still get up to the roof of the second story, by means of interior staircases. The roof of the second story is like a rooftop garden. Grass and other plants took root long ago in the thin layer of soil that accumulated on it over time. Moss and lichen growing on exposed stone. Young trees that had taken root and grown, though never to any considerable stature. A hanging garden.
It was a favorite spot of Bud’s and his close circle of friends, in their teenage years. They would sneak out of the house at nigh, climb up to their private garden spot, and spend hours there, smoking a little weed, talking and passing time, and looking out over the lights of the city. Watching the late-night freight trains go by on the tracks below, on the other side of the street that ran past the front of it. Their own special place.
I knew, of course, that they drank a little, too. But I didn’t mind. None of it was ever to excess, and they never got in any trouble. They were a fine group of young men, much like Bud himself. He was selective of his friends - had no patience for anyone he considered too childish, or untrustworthy. But when his friendship was given, it was total. And he surrounded himself with other young men of like character. They were all ambitious, as he was, and looking forward to a bright future they all intended to make for themselves. I’ve imagined since that that must have been much of what they talked about in those sultry summer nights, lounging on their high perch above the lesser buildings of that part of town.
I found a nice, fat doobie in a pocket of his jeans once, lol, when going through pockets as I was sorting laundry, getting it ready for the wash.
And, of course, I was waiting for him when he got home later that night:
“What’s this, Bud?”
“Uh-oh……..Where’d you find it?”
“You need to empty your pockets before you put your dirty clothes in the hamper, Pal” I laughed.
I wasn’t mad, and he knew it. It would have been hypocritical of me, in any case. I was doing the same thing when I wasn’t much older than him. Hell, I’d even helped a roommate sell it for a while. He and I had had a great adventure or two in the procurement of what we sold to our fellow Marines.
“…….Can I have it back?”
“Not a chance.”
You know, I’d intended to give it back, after a little time had passed, but I guess I just forgot about it. I found it in a pocket of an old USMC field jacket that I’d kept from years ago, when I’d gotten out. Still sealed in the plastic zippered sandwich bag I’d put it in at that time now several years in the past.
He’d been gone for a while by then. And it brought back memories of that night. When both of us found the situation funny, and neither of us had really minded.
It was dried out and brittle, but still intact. I waited until late that night, and fired it up myself. Smoked it, and thought of him. It was still good.
He’d been 17 or 18 at the time. The year before, he’d come to me with a question. When he was serious about something, I took it seriously, and we’d talk:
“Pop, you and Mom hardly ever spanked us when we were kids. How come?”
“We saw no reason to. You were great kids.”
And that was only the truth. They always had been. We never had any trouble with any of them, even when they were teenagers. They Were great kids to start with, and as they grew older, Momma insisted on giving them a great deal of freedom and latitude, sometimes more than I was strictly comfortable with. But I knew her well by then. Her intelligence and insight. And so I followed her lead.
And a surprising thing happened. With the freedom given, and confidence and trust bestowed, for them to make the right decisions for themselves; they invariably did.
But maybe not so surprising, as I would later think about. I’d seen it before, when I’d had occasion to lead others in a small way. In the Corps, and currently on the FD. Treat men like men. Give them that respect. And they would, with the exception of the occasional bad apple who required a firmer hand, act like men. Let someone know what you expect of them, and that you have confidence in them to do it well, and magic happens. They do. The respect and trust is returned tenfold. Your people perform well. Treat people like children, and they will behave that way, because they resent you not trusting them to be anything else.
Another time when he was 16:
“What am I, Dad?” he’d asked me thoughtfully.
“Whadda you mean?”
“What am I? Am I Hispanic, White, or what?”
“Technically, you’d be considered Hispanic. Why? What did you think you were?”
“I never really thought about it before. I’ve always just been me.”
I though that high wisdom at the time, from one so young. But he was a thinker - liked to try to figure out the meaning of things.
“Then you just go on being you, and you won’t go wrong.”
Something Momma and I had talked about with all of our children: “Always be yourself. Be true to yourself. Don’t ever go along with a group just to fit in. Think for yourselves.”
A lesson I’d learned from others who’d taken the time to teach Me when I was coming up. One an unreformed hippy who’d been a teacher of mine in High School, whom the school authorities finally gave up on trying to force him to adhere to established dress code or grooming standards, lol.
With the unusual last name of “Friend.” But fitting, for he was more than just a teacher. He Was one. Parts of his classroom teaching were things other than History that he thought it important for we his charges to know:
“One of the best things you can ever do for your yourselves is to never go along with the crowd just to fit in. Whatever you do, think for YouSelves, dude and dudettes. Make your Own decisions.”
Another time: “Don’t blindly trust Authority just because they Are Authority. They’re not always right.”
Thug finally did get that guy to wear a tie, lol. But quickly became so appalled at the outlandish ties he Did west that the requirement was thereafter dropped from the dress code, lol.
But he flat Refused to cut the long hair that hung down his back, lol. His reasoning (correctly) was that the rules stated that it must be clean and well-groomed, which it was. They said nothing whatsoever about length, lol. Hard to use your own rules against a guy who’s smarter than you are, who’s more of a smartass than you can ever hope to be, and who Knows your own rules better than you do.

I’m currently visiting with friends and we heard a very loud bang that woke us all up around 2:30 AM. Anyone have any idea what it was? No sirens of any kind followed.
