Morning everyone

I’m pretty happy tomorrow is MLB Opening Day, and March Madness final 4 games.

I’m hoping I can recover my hacked Jasonthetitansfan Instagram account, and my hacked Facebook account.

On March 29 in Baseball History...​
  • 1867 - Denton True Young is born in Gilmore, Ohio. He will earn the nickname Cy for his cyclone-like pitching motion and he will win (and lose) more games than any pitcher in history with a 511-316 record and 2.63 ERA over 22 seasons. He wins 20 or more games 15 times, and tops the 30-win mark five times.

  • 1954 - Phil Cavarretta gives Cubs owner Phil Wrigley an honest assessment of the team's chances, and is fired for his defeatist attitude, becoming the first manager ever to be given the gate during spring training. Stan Hack replaces him. Cavarretta is right the Cubs will drop to seventh place.

  • 1983 - While some clubs are concerned about low attendance at the start of the season, the Dodgers become the first team in major league history to cut off season ticket sales before the start of the season. The Dodgers, with 27,000 season tickets already sold, implement the cutoff so that group sales won't be impeded and fans will be able to buy tickets for individual games.

  • 1997 - Chipper Jones is now able to chip teeth as Malley's Chocolates announces the introduction of the Chipper Jones Candy Bar. On a team full of marketable stars, the 24-year-old Atlanta Braves third baseman is the first member of the club to get his own candy bar.
