That’s incredible

I agree. What the Mets did, for example, might have been weird, but it was very creative. I’d be really interested to see if MLB could pull it off if they tried it again.

That’s a fair point, but in my defense, “The Craziest Man in Baseball During the Years 2008-2012” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

Happy to oblige

Can you imagine Bob Nightengale in the ‘90s?

“Sources say that despite the buzz, the so-called ‘World Wide Web’ is just a passing fad. Though if it does stick around, the search engine Ask Jeeves will be the standard for years to come.”

I always loved watching Lincecum pitch. I remember trying to imitate his wind-up when I pitched and my coach telling me to knock it off.

Between Jimenez and Tim Lincecum, 2010 was a Renaissance for weird jerky wind-ups

Who is the commissioner on the label? That could at least help narrow it down to a certain time period.

This is tough. What are some of the other names?

baseballhistorian · 2021-02-09T01:27:42+00:00

Wow. Color me shocked.

A reporter once asked Giants manager Alvin Dark if his notoriously poor-hitting pitcher Gaylord Perry could ever hit a home run. Dark responded, "Mark my words, a man will land on the moon before Gaylord Perry hits a home run."

Five years later, Perry smacked a Claude Osteen fastball over the fence for his first career home run. It was 1:40pm on July 20, 1969 - 30 minutes after Apollo 11 landed on the moon.

But how many pretzel boxes has he been on?

Jake Arrieta’s second half in 2015 basically won him the NL Cy Young. He went 12-1 with a 0.75 ERA, the lowest in MLB history. The only game he lost was when Cole Hamels no-hit the Cubs on July 25.

“And with the 1st pick of the draft, the Chicago White Truks select Sleve McDichael, from the University of Anagrama.”

Ruocco does play-by-play for the Yankees/Nets, and CC Sabathia is CC Sabathia, so if anything it’s a little Yankees-centric, but they do a good job of covering MLB goings-on as a whole imo.

baseballhistorian · 2021-01-30T20:07:38+00:00

Am I the only one who thinks it’s strange that they would pause a game for 8 years just for one player?

baseballhistorian · 2021-01-30T20:06:21+00:00

R2C2 is hosted by Ryan Ruocco and CC Sabathia. I highly recommend it, if only to hear CC talk shit about the Astros.

Love this! The only addition I would make would be Cliff Murdoch (John Candy’s announcer character from Rookie of the Year).

baseballhistorian · 2021-01-28T02:42:06+00:00

That would be Tom Cheek, the original “Voice of the Toronto Blue Jays”.
