Pop-culture tripleheader here: In Season 4’s The Problem Solvers, Tracy notes that one of his bad business decisions was investing in this Hall of Fame third baseman’s Carpet World business, resulting in him saying BLANK BLANK’s Carpet World five times in fifteen seconds in the episode. Said third baseman also features in a plotline in the FXX show It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, once again not for his exploits on the diamond but for a rumored ‘endurance test’ he may have accomplished on a cross-country flight. Additionally, despite what his nickname would imply, he is not the subject of the opening lyric of the Bruce Springsteen song 'Atlantic City'. Name him.
