Because its not some obscure thing from 1917.  

There are like a million web pages and books and Twitter feeds about the last 100 years of baseball.  Gotta concentrate on stuff that hasn't been beaten to death forever. 

Nobody in their right mind would rather watch 30 seconds of that pompus, overwraught Jeter miniseries than learn more about Lip Pike.

As a historian how could you not know that?

1) I don't ever give a crap about the Yankees

2) Over the last four years or so I've paid a lot more attention to Sasha Mölders and Erik Lamela than whomever the Orioles were trotting out there to get the #1 overall draft pick.

Back when men were men and sheep were afraid.

This is pretty great, he was playing for the Philadelphia A's but since he was from New York they cut him because he was a "foreigner."

Anyone who's looking up Sasha Molders and expecting to see photos of an attractive woman, save yourself the time.  And never say that Moose Milligan didn't do anything for you.

Apparently not that much.  Its Sascha.

I never heard of Molders.  Lamela is a turd.

Where did you get Sasha Molders from?

How can you not love a dude who still scored 15 goals in a reasonably high level soccer league when he's 35 and looks like he's in shape to be playing in an over-40 Sunday pickup league?  He finally got kicked off of 1860 Munich (when he was the captain!) because he had some youth coaching gig on the side and was not showing up to his real, professional team's practices.

And yes, Americans tend to name girls Sascha.  But in Europe where the name originated it's a guys name.

Lamela is awesome, a true cult hero. Master of sh$%housery, so naturally loved by his team and loathed by everyone else.  At least loved by his team when he's not going in for a late, two-footed tackle and getting a red in a tie game you need to break into the top four.

Chelsea has certainly had their share of Diego Costas.

1917's too recent for Drungo.   Once they cut the World Series from best-of-9 to best-of-7, he stopped paying attention.

The last best-of-nine Series was '21.  Duh.
