Today in 1969: Cincinnati's Jim Maloney no-hit the Astros in a 10-0 victory. The very next day, May 1, the Astros' Don Wilson turned the table and no-hit the Reds in a 4-0 win. #MLB #baseball #Astros #Reds #nohitter
Barry put on a lot of, um, muscle over the years. Just from lifting weights, right?

Born today in 1934: Luis Aparicio. Known as "Little Louie" due to his 160-pound, 5'9" frame. The first Venezuela native to be elected to the Hall of Fame (1984). Was an All-Star 13 times, won 9 Gold Gloves, and led the AL in steals 9 straight seasons (no one else has more than 6…
Today in 1986: Roger Clemens set a new MLB record striking out 20 Seattle Mariners in a 9-inning game. The 23-year-old Clemens had extra rest when the previous Red Sox game was rained out. He also struck out 20 in a 1996 game. Kerry Wood, Randy Johnson and Max Scherzer are the…
Born today in 1964: Barry Larkin. Helped led his hometown Reds to the 1990 World Series win. Barry was a 12-time All-Star and won 3 Gold Gloves at shortstop. He was also the 1995 NL MVP. Larkin was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2012. #MLB #baseball #Reds #HallofFame
Bet this will surprise a lot of fans…
This puts Tony Gwynn's hitting skills into perspective...
Today in 1961: Roger Maris hit his first of 61 home runs in his record-breaking season. He had previously played with Cleveland and Kansas City, and was in just his second season with the #Yankees. He'd just hit a career-high 39 home runs in 1960. #MLB #baseball @RMaris0961

Jack Chesbro is a pitcher you may not be aware of, but he owns the modern day (after 1900) record for most wins in a single season: 41 set in 1904. He was the ace of the New York Highlanders (they became the Yankees in 1913). Chesbro started 52 games in 1904 and completed 48,…
Today in 1976: Two protesters ran onto the field between innings at Dodger Stadium and doused an American Flag with kerosene. Cubs outfielder Rick Monday sprinted and grabbed the flag before they set it on fire. He got a standing ovation. Monday still has the flag. He's turned…
Whoops….
Born today in 1972: Chipper Jones. Spent his entire career (1993-2012) with the Atlanta Braves. Was the overall #1 pick in the 1990 MLB draft. An 8-time All-Star , 1999 NL MVP and NL batting champ in 2008. Had a .303 lifetime average and 468 career home runs. Inducted into the…
Today in 1962: For the second time in his career, Sandy Koufax tied the major league record of 18 strikeouts in a 9-inning game. He also did it in 1959. Koufax shared the record with Bob Feller. That record is now shared by Roger Clemens and Kerry Wood (20).
June 8, 1921: Babe Ruth went straight from jail to the ballpark to help the Yankees beat Cleveland. Babe went before the magistrate that morning for speeding in his new Packard, his second offense. He was ordered to pay a $100 fine and spend a day in jail. His uniform was…

No matter how many times I watch this, it will ALWAYS make my jaw drop.
When the @whitesox acquired Minnie Miñoso via trade #OTD in 1951, the Cuban-born speedster embraced the opportunity. He was soon named to his first All-Star team and blossomed into one of the AL’s top hitters. ow.ly/Zu7R50Rsktm
Kids today just don’t understand.

“Have you ever thrown a ball 100 miles an hour? Everything hurts. Even your ass hurts. I see pictures of my face & say, ‘Holy shit’, but that’s the strain you feel when you throw. I had one of those faces you look at it, man, & say, ‘Man he’s an asshole.’ Could be, depends on if…

With a single for his first hit #OTD in 1982, Wade Boggs set his Hall of Fame career in motion. @ChickenMan3010 would capture his first batting title the following year and begin a stretch of seven straight 200-hit seasons, a Red Sox record.
Who remembers this game? 😲 The @Mets and @Cardinals face off tonight at 7:10 pm ET on Apple TV+. #FridayNightBaseball (MLB x @chevrolet)
I’m not saying this is the greatest finish to any game ever but it’s a short fucking roll call before you get to it. If you don’t feel some electricity when he gets to the ‘Bama 30 and the color guy blurts out “OH MY GOD!!” you may be dead inside.

Here’s a video of Ken Griffey Jr. robbing a dinger to brighten up your day.
Here's the video of Max Scherzer discussing the electronic strike zone and how he'd fix the future of umpiring in baseball. Really interesting response. Kind of dig his approach.
Scherzer on umps: "We need to rank the umpires. Let the electronic strike zone rank the umpires. We need to have a conversation about the bottom — let's call it 10% — whatever you want to declare the bottom is, and talk about religating those umpires to the minor leagues."
