The Friday & Saturday crowds should be wild but with Sunday being Mother's Day I would think the crowd will be meh...

The cover of the first Sports Illustrated.

The cover photo, by Mark Kauffman, famously features future Hall of Fame third baseman Eddie Mathews at the plate for the Braves at Milwaukee's County Stadium. The other two people are New York Giants catcher Wes Westrum and umpire AugieDonatelli. Mathews is the only player to play for the Braves in each of the three cities the franchise called home: Boston, Milwaukee (where it lasted from 1953 to '65) and Atlanta. Of course, neither of those teams is located in the same city anymore, as the Giants moved to San Francisco for the 1958 season.

Pickens to Dallas is huge for offense. Dak has two legit WR's now and Pickens is a deep threat. Now let's find a DT and let's roll....

Serious question:

What's the origin and purpose behind of the 3/4 sleeve for baseball undershirts?

To be free and clear of glove and throwing hand.

Just messing with you. I know you need to maintain a respectable facade in the soccer forum.

We are grateful for your gratuitous contributions to the Dugout and game threads! “Sister Daddy Hat” is one of my favorites.

According to Chat GPT
The three-quarter length sleeve in baseball serves several purposes:

1. Improved Range of Motion: The sleeve ends just below the elbow, allowing players to have a full range of motion without the fabric bunching or restricting their arm movements during throwing, batting, or fielding.
2. Temperature Regulation: It provides some coverage to protect the arm muscles while still being breathable, making it versatile for varying weather conditions.
3. Reduced Fabric Interference: Unlike long sleeves that can get caught or tangled, three-quarter sleeves stay out of the way, which is useful for players who rely on quick, fluid arm movements.
4. Traditional Style: Three-quarter sleeves are also a part of baseball’s traditional aesthetic, giving players a classic look that has been popular for decades.
