OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

On March 15 in Baseball History...​

• 1945 - With wartime travel restrictions still in effect, the Dodgers open spring training at Bear Mountain, New York with 15 players in camp. Seven teams � the Browns, Tigers, Reds, Indians, Cubs, Pirates and White Sox � are training in Indiana, the most of any state. The Red Sox are at Tufts College while the Braves are prepping at the Choate School in Connecticut.
  
  
• 1945 - Bert Shepard, a one-legged veteran of the war, tries out as a pitcher for the Senators (and subsequently appears in a league game). The symbol of wartime baseball, outfielder Pete Gray of the Browns, will field and bat with only one arm.
  
  
• 1975 - The Dodgers sign free-agent pitcher Juan Marichal. After two poor outings, Marichal will retire on April 17, leaving a career record of 243-142, 52 shutouts, and a 2.89 ERA.
  
  
• 1977 - The Pirates trade outfielders Tony Armas and Mitchell Page, and four pitchers, including Rick Langford, to the A's for second baseman Phil Garner, infielder Tommy Helms, and pitcher Chris Batton.
  
  
• 1978 - The A's trade Vida Blue to the Giants for seven players and an estimated $390,000 in cash.

I would just like to say that damn groundhog lied. No sign of spring coming soon.

Nebraska has had multiple cold days, although yesterday was just cool.

I didn’t expect my rebuilding Blackhawks to defeat the Goliath Bruins 6-3 In Chicago.
The Blackhawks did make a statement since they outplayed the Bruins because they scored 4 goals in the 3rd period of a competitive game.


My realistic expectation was the Blackhawks win by 1 goal of a competitive game if they did defeat the elite Bruins in Chicago.

The Jets fans will feel like they’ve won the lottery since this realistically could happen.
The Packers are going to find out if Jordan Love is a reliable franchise QB, or if he’s a bust.

I was very stunned my Blackhawks defeated the Bruins 6-3 in Chicago. An incredible victory for a rebuilding Blackhawks team that proved the best team by record can get defeated by an inferior team that has a losing record.

#10 ECU falls behind 3-0 to William.
But ties the game against Mary with 3 runs in 4th so far.
William & Mary worked better together last night when they beat Norfolk State like a foster child 34-1
