And Huff is indoctrinating his kids to believe the same things. Lather, rinse, repeat. The Kyle Rittenhouse's of the world make up far more of the right wing than most are comfortable thinking about.

The kind of kids who would take that away from Huff already have fathers beating it into them.
 
SAC buys the Mets. Again.

On the night we come from behind twice including a walkoff to sweep the Yankees in a doubleheader.
 
In a 162 game season, the Dodgers would be on pace to win 114 games and would be threatening the run differential record. They'd be on pace for +409, while the 1939 Yankees were +411 in only 151 games.

I posted this on another site but:

Whitey Ford (almost 92), Tommy Lasorda (will be 93 later this month), Willie Mays (89), Hank Aaron (86), Bob Gibson (85 soon and has pancreatic cancer), Vin Scully (93 soon), Carl Yastrzemski (81), Sandy Koufax (85 at the end of the year), Brooks Robinson (83).

Buckle up. The next 5 years is going to take the vast majority of these guys. Even the guys I watched at the end of their prime (Bench, Schmidt, Carlton, Reggie) are on the wrong side of 70 now.

Here's the greatest box score in baseball history.

I saw a link to that floating around in the replies. THe thing that immediately caught my eye wasn't the score, it was that both teams committed 10 errors. Buried near the bottom was both pitchers registered a CG.

Edit: Holy ****, the Haymakers SS committed 6 errors himself. Their catcher had 6 PB.

The Athletics' LF had three triples.

Edit 2: Jeebus. https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/...1010011871.htm Did they even wear gloves back then? Look at the ER vs. R.
Edit 3: https://www.baseball-reference.com/t...itchteam.shtml 198 errors in 28 games. Unreal.
https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/TRO/1871.shtml McMullin was their only starter the entire season.
Edit 4: https://www.baseball-reference.com/l...d_fielding::10 omg, that was the third lowest amount of errors by a team that year. A league fielding % of .833. wow... I really, really wish we had videos of these games.

Most interesting thing about the Braves 29-9 win?

The Braves closer was awarded a save due to archaic rules.

In 1871 they did not. Not even the catcher.

"The first glove I ever saw on the hand of a ball player in a game was worn by Charles C. Waite, in Boston, in 1875. He had come from New Haven and was playing at first base. The glove worn by him was of flesh color, with a large, round opening in the back.
