GA Russell Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 I read that Dunn was only the third DH to pitch, the first two being Canseco and C. Davis. Who was C. Davis? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2014/08/06/now-pitching-for-the-white-sox-adam-dunn/ Quote
GA Russell Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 Well, I've never heard of Chris Davis, but then I've never heard of Adam Dunn either! Thanks Jim! Quote
Soulstation1 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 Any watch battered bastards of baseball on netflix? Quote
JSngry Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Posted August 10, 2014 Cads/Dodgers 1959 - Jack Brickhouse calls, Roger Craig pitches, Stan Musical plays first, Pee Wee Reese coaches third (and maybe has a player run through his hold signal), Don Zimmer gets tossed in the 2nd, the list goes on... Quote
Neal Pomea Posted August 11, 2014 Report Posted August 11, 2014 That was great! Thanks for posting. Never saw footage of baseball at the LA Coliseum. Quote
BERIGAN Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Great clip Jim! There has to be more footage like this, but you so rarely see it... The guy leading off for the Cards, Joe Cunningham, hit 343 that year, with a .453 OBP! And…l have never heard of him. I of course have heard of other Cardinals, like Kenny Boyer, Bill White, Tim McCarver was on that team briefly...at the age of 17! How in the wide world of sports could he have been at the majors at 17? I remember he was someone that played in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80s...but had no idea he was 17 in 59.... I downloaded the clip, as I know how MLB is and takes down stuff all the time...I put on my youtube channel several years ago, a 3-4 minute clip of late 80s highlights from on night on CNN sports and it was deleted a few months later...

Soulstation1 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 Tribe win 4 games then lose 4 games That's why we've been a .500 club most of the season... Quote
Matthew Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 I just realized last night that in 48 years of going to baseball games, not once have I ever seen a tarp rolled-out. Only in California. Quote
johnblitweiler Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 Tribe win 4 games then lose 4 games That's why we've been a .500 club most of the season... Just like our White Soxies. They exist only to break our hearts. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 Cry me a river, folks. I'm a Royals fan... 28 years since we last even saw the postseason. And this is the first season since then that we have a glimmer of hope to break that drought. Quote
JSngry Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 So long, Wash. Whatever it is, good luck, and much love. RIP 2014 baseball. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 For the record I am an old school KC Royals / George Brett fan. He's my all time fave baseball player. Quote
ghost of miles Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 Nice tribute to Derek Jeter from Gatorade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfgS1lvqX8I Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 Tribe running on fumes Playing some weak teams to finish the season Quote
ghost of miles Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 DE-REK JE-TER... God, what an amazing player. Watching him made me feel the kind of love that I had for baseball when I was a kid. Quote
JSngry Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Posted September 26, 2014 Tonight, these two guys, proven heroes (each in their own way)...putting some life back into a Season Of Death...hell Colby was all but left for dead on the side of the road, vultures already starting to pick the bones...and Beltre will never die, just not possible. 12-1 over the last two weeks, Holland is back, Feliz looks like he's finally back...kids playing like they mean to stick around for awhile, Fielder (hopefully) got that neck fixed...waaaaaay too late, but not too little. C'mon 2015! And no matter what, eternal love to Ron Washington. No idea what the personal Ron Washington really got himself into, but I don't know the personal Ron Washington. I don't loan him money, I don't pay him money, I don't sleep in his bed or claim his semen. So whatever that Ron Washington did...I don't really care. I only know the public baseball Ron Washington, and god bless him wherever and whatever. But that was then, and as close as that came to still being now, it's not. Not now, not now. Hope fucking springs eternal, eh? Quote

Soulstation1 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Posted September 27, 2014 They could fill up Fenway with all of Jeters ladies thru the past 20 years.... Quote
Scott Dolan Posted September 27, 2014 Report Posted September 27, 2014 Congrats to my Royals for ending the historic 29 year post season drought! The division is still in reach, but not looking likely. Quote
