Strange, but true ........ if that had never happened, Mordecai Brown might have been just another pretty good farmer.

Thank goodness that he got his hand mangled in a feed chopper.

Going to be hard.  Looks like their season will be over in May.

Anyone remember when folks were wondering how the Rays managed to keep their starters so healthy?

 

Regression man, regression.

I think Mercy was hiding in the clubhouse. 

Word is that the Rays traded her for a bag of balls and a prospect no one has ever heard of

I actually called a man named Gardner Stern on the telephone just before he died in 1996, a man who had lived in Chicago his entire life.

He actually,

 

A) llSaw the first game ever at THE ORIGINAL Comiskey Park in 1910.

B) llHad his heart broken when it was found out that his beloved White Sox had thrown the 1919 World Series (he was actually at 2 of those games in Chicago.)

C) l..Saw Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown pitch.

 

As I stated, his name was Gardner Stern. He was born in 1903, was a life-long White Sox fan, and was a guest in Ken Burns' baseball documentary.

I simply called information for Chicago, Illinois (in 1996), asked for his phone number, and he was nice enough to talk to me for about 20 minutes about the entire Black Sox scandal, plus his lifelong fandom of the White Sox.

Neshek, 37, will join fellow offseason signee Tommy Hunter on the disabled list, meaning the Phillies will lose a combined $34.25MM in relief help before either of the two recipients of those contracts makes an appearance in the 2018 campaign. There’s no word, at present, of just how long Neshek will be sidelined, though obviously the news still serves as a blow to what now looks to be a largely inexperienced relief corps.

I'm sure the rest of the bullpen can handle those innings, especially when they take their starter out after 68 pitches.
