Even superman had his kryptonite. If he's ready to play he'll let snit know.

  • 1905 - The New York Highlanders find themselves a little short on infielders, so right fielder Willie Keeler, who is left-handed, plays second base in both halves of a twin bill.

  • 1914 - Roger Peckinpaugh, at twenty-three, was hired to finish the season as manager of the New York Yankees.

  • 1919 - Dutch Ruether beats the Giants 4-3 to clinch Cincinnati's first pennant since American Association days.

  • 1924 - Jim Bottomley went six-for-six and batted in a record twelve runs as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 17-3. His hits included two home runs.

  • 1940 - Rookie Johnny Lucadello of the St. Louis Browns hits home runs from each side of the plate against the New York Yankees in a 16-4 Browns win. Only Wally Schang, in 1916, and Garland Buckeye, in 1925, had accomplished the same feat in the American League. These are the only home runs Lucadello hits all year.

  • 1957- The Los Angeles City Council approves a 300-acre site in Chavez Ravine for a Dodger stadium if the club will finance a public recreation area.

  • 1979 - Willie Wilson hits his fifth inside-the-park homer of the season in a 6-3 loss to Seattle at Kansas City. It is the most inside-the-park-homers in a season since Kiki Cuyler hit eight for the Pirates in 1925.

  • 1987 - Joe Carter of the Cleveland Indians became the ninth Major Leaguer to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in the same season when he stole his career-high 30th base in the fourth inning of a 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

  • 1988 - Cincinnati's Tom Browning pitched a perfect game as the Reds beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0. Browning struck out eight and allowed only eight balls to be hit out of the infield.

I’m not watching anything yet. About to go do lunch with the boy and his mom and then I will be dropping him off to his grandmas for the rest of the day. I will probably start watching around 2pm or 3pm.

It’s the annual red bandana game, in honor of a BC grad Welles Crowther who was helping people escape the twin towers on 9/11 and lost his life. We’ve had a bunch of upsets in the red bandana game.

I’m trying to sign in to my spectrum account on Espn to watch a football game but says it’s an error & to try again. I’ve tried now over 100 times & still want allow me access. I’m so mad I could kill my stupid cable provider just to feel better. My son Riley, will be coming up here soon & he can sign in for me with ease. It just blows my mind on how he has better luck doing that than I have.

Yeah, sometimes I get an error when I log in as well and I have no idea why. It’s super annoying.
