    • I'm sure that I've read that both Boileryard Clarke and Bill Hoffer were present for the festivities surrounding the Orioles' return to the majors in April of 1954. Clarke and Hoffer were the last living members of the Champion 1894-95-96 Orioles, both passing away in July of 1959. It's probably pretty unlikely that Schallock met Clarke or Hoffer, neither were from Baltimore and probably just returned in '54. But it's possible an old Oriole born in 1868, shortly after the end of the Civil War, watched Schallock play.
    • BB:K ratio is the sexy number, but Indians shortstop Charlie Hollocher has a mark that may never be beaten: In 1922 he had five strikeouts and 29 caught stealing. That's 5.8 CS for every K. He had a BB:K ratio of 11.6:1, but a stolen base percentage of 40% on 48 attempts.
    • Obviously in hindsight Gunnar would have been an excellent 1:1 pick. Having Adley at 1:1 and Gunnar at 42 is even better. Plus they ended up with the 40th pick in the draft... we'll have to wait to see how that plays out.     
    • You should totally sue them. What gall they have to kinda, sorta imply that their baseball replays are accurate to the tenths of a second when they might not actually be that. That's exactly what leads to distrust of all institutions, chaos, revolution, and then we're living in some kind of post-apocalyptic hellscape, boiling our own shoes for the meager nutrition in the leather.
    • I think I used elite a little too loosely. Still, not a ton of hitters do better than 1:2 over a full season.
