On January 11 in Baseball History...​

  • 1915 - Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Colonel Tillinghast L�Hommedieu Huston purchase the New York Yankees for $460,000.

  • 1971 - Tigers pitcher John Hiller suffers a heart attack at age 27. He will miss the 1971 season before making a remarkable comeback.

  • 1977 - The Cubs trade outfielder Rick Monday and pitcher Mike Garman to the Dodgers for first baseman Bill Buckner, shortstop Ivan DeJesus, and Minor League pitcher Jeff Albert. The trade solidifies the Cubs infield for the next five years, but the Dodgers will win three pennants in that span.

  • 1983 - For the third time in eight years, George Steinbrenner hires Billy Martin as Yankee manager. Martin replaces Clyde King, who will move to the front office.

Hate the Cubs, but I was a big fan of Ivan DeJesus. The Steinbrenner/Martin soap opera was awesome.

I know that feeling. I walked passed this gorgeous blonde girl at the mall one time & didn't speak bc I didn't want to disturb her while she was eating lunch with friends. Certainly, didn't want to come across as some weirdo.

I just wanted to hug her and thank her for supporting UT athletics and take a damn selfie!
That place is a lunchtime hot spot! I had to walk past Tony Vitello previously!
We just gave each other the bro nod.
