Man, I’m an absolute Georgia hater, but I think the Bulldogs win. I have to say from a personal standpoint Duggan > Bennett, and it’s not even close. Bennett needs to have a large dose of humble pie tonight, and I hope the Horned Frogs do to the Bulldogs what Horned Frogs do best.

Some of y’all may be disappointed but I have picked the leg humpers. I’m in it to win it. Anytime you win something whenever all of VolNation is involved is ultimate bragging rights 😎

On January 9 in Baseball History...​
  • 1903 - The defunct Baltimore franchise is purchased by Frank Farrell and Bill Devery for $18,000 and moved to Manhattan where they will become the New York Highlanders (Yankees).

  • 1952 - As the Korean War drags on, the Marines give notice that they will recall Ted Williams to active duty.

  • 1961 - The new Minnesota Twins and the American Association finally agree on a $500,000 indemnity payment to the minor league for the Minneapolis-St. Paul territory, ending two months of negotiation.

  • 1976 - Charles Ruppert, Giants vice president and son-in-law of Horace Stoneham, announces the sale of the team to a Toronto group for $13.3 million. Outrage by the fans prompts San Francisco mayor George Moscone to get a preliminary injunction preventing the move.

  • 1984 - Braves pitcher Pascual Perez is arrested for cocaine possession in his native Dominican Republic. Under local law he will remain in jail until his trial, forcing him to miss the beginning of the season. Perez maintains that he was given the packet by a woman he did not know and was unaware of what it contained.

  • 1989 - Johnny Bench and Carl Yastrzemski are elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA in their first year of eligibility. Bench and Yaz, who faced each other in the classic 1975 World Series, each spent their entire careers (40 years combined) with one club. Bench set new standards for catchers both offensively (348 home runs) and defensively (10 straight Gold Gloves). Yastrzemski hit 452 home runs, collected 3,308 hits, and won the 1967 Triple Crown.

  • 1990 - Jim Palmer, a three-time AL Cy Young Award winner, and Joe Morgan, a two-time NL MVP, are elected to the Hall of Fame in their first years of eligibility.
