Won the triple crown hitting under .300.!

GiggleMugs : Can you please tell me about this? Where do I go to file?

Rapsalot : Incorrect.
1967 was his triple crown year.
44 HRs/121 RBIs/.326 AVG.In 1968, he won the AL batting title with a .301 AVG which is the lowest batting average for someone who won the title. Side note, Trey Turner holds the NL low batting title record of .304 in 2025.He is also one of the players with more walks than strikeouts for his career.

ExCTGuyInTX :
I realized it after I wrote it
I think I was thinking 67.
Damn you Cards!

Joe : Your not a crabby ole senior Joe! You know that we like to complain! LOL~!

ExCTGuyInTX :
I am at the Mendoza line today, if that.

Cbear : Yeah, but I don't have kids, and yet I've gladly paid that tax every year for the last 29+ years...because I don't want to be surrounded by unschooled rugrats my whole life... ; )

Joe :
Those unschooled rugrats end up in MAGA or on KDC

How much have you paid in 50 years?

I wonder if any complaining went to public schools themselves? Someone paid for it...

Joe : What do you mean "yeah"? So, you are admitting that we are crabby! LOL~!

Cbear :
The change happened in 2025.May 2025: The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 23, which increased the additional school-district homestead exemption for homeowners 65+ or disabled.
June 16, 2025: Governor Greg Abbott signed SB 23 into law. His office announced that the senior/disabled homestead exemption would increase to $200,000 when combined with the general homestead exemption.
November 4, 2025: Texas voters approved the related constitutional amendment. The Texas Comptroller confirms that voters approved increasing the additional senior/disabled exemption to $60,000.
Tax year 2025: The constitutional amendment was made effective retroactively to January 1, 2025.
What does a senior homeowner actually get?For the 2025 tax year, a qualifying homeowner age 65+ receives:$140,000 general school-district homestead exemption
+ $60,000 additional 65+ exemption
= $200,000 total exemption from the school-district portion of property taxes.One important clarification: this is not a $200,000 deduction from the home's purchase price or a $200,000 refund. It means the first $200,000 of the home's taxable value is exempt from school-district property taxes.Also, the senior exemption does not automatically eliminate county, city, or other local property taxes. Those taxing entities have their own exemptions and rules.Go to the State of Texas government site for forms. This was on the ballot. You probably voted for it.

FRUGAL : Wait don't do it

It's partly why I plan to move to a more tax friendly location just as soon as my youngest is out of high school.
