I ride the fence when the Bravos and Metropolitans are playing.
My Braves could do me a solid and give my struggling Mets a series win. But at the same time my Mets are not really playing for anything other than pride at this point, so they could do me a solid and let my Braves get a much needed sweep.

On August 11 in Baseball History...​


  • 1962 - The Dodgers protest the wetting down of the field at Candlestick, a tactic they claim is to stop Maury Wills. The Giants win 5-4, but the watering ploy earns Giants manager Alvin Dark the sobriquet The Swamp Fox.

  • 1968 - Satchel Paige, 62 years or so old, and needing 158 days on a major league payroll to qualify for a pension, is signed by the Braves. He will not pitch a regular-season game for Atlanta and will become a coach on September 30.

  • 1969 - Don Drysdale retires because of damage to his right shoulder. Drysdale is the last Los Angeles player left from the Brooklyn Dodgers. Bob Aspromonte, who will retire in 1971, is the last active former Brooklyn Dodger.
