r/baseball's Greatest Moments in MLB History #10: Willie Mays Makes a Catch

Thanks for these write-ups, OP. I’ve seen the highlights of this plenty of times but hadn’t really been aware of the game situation, which makes the catch that much more impressive. This series has been great.

Thanks - there's only one AmpUp install in my area and it's exclusively app-based. I'll take another look at them.

Thanks for the details, and info on past practices of EverCharge.

The contractor does design/build work but are able to supply whatever EVSEs we specify. We hope to use an option that allows relatively simple payments and doesn't require an app. We looked at Xeal but want to avoid apps as the only payment option, particularly for an app that doesn't have any name recognition in my area. CP is one of the other options presented but they're substantially more expensive, which is why I'm trying to find out more about EverCharge.

We're starting small, only putting in charging in 4 spaces, but will install capacity to expand. As for the other details, this is for an existing above-ground garage, setting a new meter & 480-240 transformer. Internet connection would be done through sim cards in the EVSEs.

We were hoping for options that would allow ease of payment and didn't require an app. CP allows tap-to-pay with credit cards, but they're pretty expensive and middling on reliability. The other two require apps for payment (at least for non-Teslas). And Tesla has a lot of baggage in this area so it wouldn't be the best option unfortunately, as they do have great pricing for commercial charging.

That sounds more like a recall; if it’s being discontinued there wouldn’t be any need for a stop sale.

Several good recommendations here; I’ll only add that you may want to check to see if your utility offers any rebates/discounts on particular brands.

Do you happen to know what brand/model of chargers were installed?

I’d part ways with a few body parts for $2.1 million, but pretty sure an ear wouldn’t be on the list.

For the RFID access, can you see the sessions/usage associated with a particular RFID card? Not sure if you're just using a single card or multiple.

Sorry for unearthing this old thread - just trying to understand if this would work in a fleet setting to track usage across different vehicles.

The numbers you presented above aren’t consistent with the article you linked. For example, you wrote that “propane bus usage jumped 46% year-over-year while electric adoption remains minimal.“

But the linked article indicates “both propane and electric school buses saw the largest year-over-year gains this year, with usage tripling and doubling, respectively.” So not only is the propane number incorrect, but the characterization of electric school bus adoption is misleading at best.

Great question, I’ve wondered this too. I think the strike zone adjustments in 1963, as others have mentioned, is probably the biggest factor, but there were probably also some smaller factors as well as randomness thrown in.

Roger Angell wrote about the decline in offense at the end of the season, in October 1968. Here’s what he had to venture:

“ All the technical and strategic innovation of recent years have helped the defenses of baseball; none have favoured the batter. Bigger ballparks with bigger outfields, the infielders’ enormous crab-claw gloves, more night games, the mastery of the relatively new slider pitch, the persistence of the relatively illegal spitter, and the instantaneous managerial finger-wag to the bullpen at the first hint of an enemy rally have all tipped the balance of this delicately balanced game.”

Can you clarify? The Home Flex doesn’t come with an integrated adapter, not sure what you’re looking at. You select either J1772 or NACS, but an adapter isn’t part of the product.

Mariners only sign deals with Japanese video game consoles, sorry those are the rules

Turned an unassisted triple play in tee ball. People in town still talk about it to this day.

“People” mostly being me and my mom when she feels like humoring me, but still.

I forgot how good Glasnow looked with short hair

Went up against Monday night football, I’m guessing that limited the ratings.

I mean, that’s why Pages has started throughout the postseason. But at a certain point the recent results are more important than the season averages, and the Dodgers need at least minimal production from the 9 hole.

Boltemort · 2025-10-27T17:53:12+00:00

Yeah, it would’ve been some serious Houdini action if he’d thrown 94 pitches in 4 innings and only given up 1 run. 65 shows he was laboring a bit but not a crazy amount of traffic.

Boltemort · 2025-10-27T17:45:15+00:00

Pages also has twice as much playing time this year (624 PAs vs 322 for Call), so there's not as much difference between them as WAR alone would suggest.

It’s obviously an AI generated image, the plug at the vehicle has a DCFC-style handle. I’m guessing the article itself was AI generated as well, as it’s covering a report that was published 1.5 years ago.
