I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way!\u201d \u2013 Frank Costanza\u201cWhat happened to the doll?\u201d \u2013 Cosmo Kramer\u201cIt was destroyed. But out of that, a new holiday was born: \u2018a Festivus for the rest of us!\u2019\u201d \u2013 Frank Costanza\u201cThat musta been some kind of doll\u2026\u201d \u2013 Cosmo Kramer\u201cShe was.\u201d \u2013 Frank CostanzaIn case you have been living under a rock for the last thirty-odd years, Frank Costanza\u2019s ramblings are not just the zany clamoring of an angry octogenarian but also serve as the inspiration behind the exercise of the day \u2013 \u201ca Festivus for the rest of us!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Normally celebrated on December 23 and popularized by the show Seinfeld, Festivus is a secular holiday meant to serve as an alternative to the stress and commercialization of the Christmas season. As an amateur scouting team, we will be forgoing both an aluminum pole and \u201cFeats of Strength\u201d (for now) and will primarily focus on another of Frank Costanza\u2019s most genius machinations of the holiday, the \u201cAiring of Grievances.\u201d Per Festivus.com, this is \u201can opportunity to tell others how they have disappointed you in the past year.\u201d For our own purposes, however, we will be focusing instead on the differences we have between our Team Top 100 NCAA List and the personal lists we carry ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Think a guy is ranked too highly? Grieve away. Feel like we missed the boat on a player? Let us have it!<\/p>\n<p>Though we are celebrating this holiday a full eight days late (complainers therein can voice their opinions during our Airing of Grievances or in the comments section), I believe the spirit of Festivus has inspired a new tradition for our amateur team lists.<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado, we will proceed to our Airing of Grievances, or \u201cTeam Gripes,\u201d as they will hopefully become more widely known.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of problems with you people \u2013 and now you&#8217;re gonna hear about it!\u201d \u2013 Frank Costanza<\/p>\n<p>\t\tThis post is for paying subscribers only<\/p>\n<p>Become a subscriber now and gain access to articles, tools, and stay updated with Prospects Live.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospectslive.com\/membership\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Become a member<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Already have an account? <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospectslive.com\/signin\/\" data-portal=\"signin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign in<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prospectslive.com\/author\/drew\/\" class=\"post-card-author-image\" aria-label=\"Drew Wheeler\" tabindex=\"-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/text-behind-image-1.png\"  width=\"1340\" height=\"530\" alt=\"Drew Wheeler\"  loading=\"eager\"\/><br \/>\n\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prospectslive.com\/author\/drew\/\" class=\"post-card-author-name\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Drew Wheeler<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Director of Amateur Scouting, proud to lead and share the team&#8217;s work. | Check out Path to the Show on Bally Sports Live and College Baseball Now everywhere! | Grateful for family, the Vols, and everyone who reads Prospects Live. | For His Glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMany Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son.
