Watch your SportsCenter tonight, Brandon Nimmo just made one of the ten best catches I have seen in 50 years as a baseball fan.
Nothing happening at Yankee Stadium right now.
Yankees getting no hit is a rare treat for us lowly Midwesterners.
There’s a high school in MI, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, that just won their third straight state title, led by a pitcher committed to Clemson but likely going straight to the pros as a first round pick. They’re being named the #1 team in the country by a few places. It’s a private school, so easier to build a roster, but still interesting to see a northern school as top in the country. Unfortunately due to high school association rules they weren’t allowed to go to any of the USA Baseball showcase tournaments. The best they could do was travel down to Ohio and play some teams there.
They finished 44-0 and are now on a 66 game win streak. They were 43-1 last year with the only loss coming by a run. That lone game is the only thing standing in front of a 116 game win streak, which would smash the current national record of 89.
I wonder with the NIL cash and the bennies of an on campus experience, if he would take the pro route after HS?
The living conditions at the low minors level are not exactly ideal. Plus you're on a bus every other week for lord knows how long eating whatever.
You can live better at a power 5 school with the jock dorm, training tables, etc. They have better facilities, too.
On this day in 1905, Archibald Graham was a defensive replacement for the NY Giants.
The rest is history.
Some would consider that a tragedy.
Besides the People Will Come speech, Doc’s response to that that is favorite quote of the movie.
”Son, if I’d only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes, now that would’ve been a tragedy.”
