That's a great list to be on
Today there is pushback when baseball tries anything new, but the 1870s press applauded its openness to innovation: "prompt action [is] taken whenever anything stands in the way of improving their national game. Year after year have the rules of baseball been amended.."

I stand with (the talented, intelligent, hilarious) @kevinnbrown
Watching my city failing to handle a few thousand desperate Venezuelans reminds me that from 1846-1852 1.8 million immigrants arrived in NYC population c. 350,000, provoking, among other things, a surge of Nativism.
Has this ever happened before? (All these clubs ranked in order of winning percentage -- across divisional lines)
@TerryBrennan8 BTW, Metropolitan Park was not far from the site of the Red House Grounds, famous for hosting baseball and cricket matches in the 1850s. Extract below from map by C.E. Dripps: Map of that Portion of the City and County of New-York North of 50th St., 1851. @BaseballHx

Last night's Yankees game took less than 2.5 hours. So I switched to the Rays/Sox, which ended so soon that I switched again to the O's/A's. Still went to bed feeling a bit unsatisfied -- like I had a salad for dinner. O tempora! Oh pitch clock!
Fun fact: before the Civil War, when baseball was competing for popularity in the US with cricket, one of baseball's perceived advantages was its punctuality and crisp pace of play. Cricketers infamously showed up late (or never), took their time batting and generally dawdled.
who is this? bone-headed answers only!

@Trupinism You’ll have to read all about it in How Baseball Happened by @BaseballHx!
@IWBC4Me Dubuque, 1879, with Radbourn, Comiskey, Latham, Sullivan.
Baseball uniforms were often modeled on volunteer fire company outfits in the 1850s. Of course, many ballplayers of the time were also firefighters. Very cool to know baseball and firefighting share such a connection! ⚾️👨🚒
None would belong to any club that would have them.
@thorn_john @tscinti @BaseballHx @BillCarle1 Well, I learned a new word today.
@GoldenHalloFame @BaseballHx @thorn_john Excellent book!
@GoldenHalloFame @BaseballHx @thorn_john Truly excellent work here. Breezy read and yet chock full of great info.
On to the next baseball book, this one by @BaseballHx with a forward by @thorn_john! Read it with me and/or comment if you have already read it
A story about yours truly, by the estimable @ffrommer, appears in the current issue of Smithsonian Magazine. smithsonianmag.com/history/baseba…
‘Night of the Hunter’ was filmed in Moundsville, West Virginia, subject of our 2020 PBS film: moundsville.org/2021/01/19/nig…
Today, as I enter my 14th year as @MLB's historian, I recall my great predecessor in this post.
@BaseballHx @GreggOlson30 There are independent teams that would clobber rookie or low A teams, too, or at least there were. If you've never seen The Battered Bastards of Baseball, I can't recommend it highly enough.
@BaseballHx @GreggOlson30 Almost everyone in the Atlantic League has played at least some AA. And many have played AAA or the Majors. D-1 would only win the games where they had a stud pitcher.
Landed on this by accident: Sporting Life, March 1, 1913. Fine story by Tim Murnane about baseball in Philadelphia in National Association days. Excellent bit about players gambling on their own teams.
for Tony the Tiger's 50th anniversary, several character designers got together in an attempt to sell Kelloggs on bringing back Tony's earliest design. Here's some of the drawings Craig Kellman did for that pitch!
