SpaceGhostPurrp – 4AD Session

SGP is a part of the current wave of mixtape rappers (see also: Lil Ugly Mane, Gorgeous Children) bringing back the mid-90s Memphis sound.

He was signed to 4AD last year and brought out Mysterious Phonnk, which was a collection of his best mixtape tracks re-done with far, far better production values.

Jimmy Macullar holds the career record for most games by a left-handed-throwing shortstop (325). Oddly, he batted right-handed.
Marty Castillo was drafted by Minnesota in the twenty-first round in 1975, but did not sign.
