Tedd_Not_Ed: Feb 16, 2014; I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

Today in Baseball History

1926- Philadelphia A's outfielder Al Simmons establishes an American League record by playing in 394 consecutive games to start a career. It will not be until 2005 that this streak is broken by Hideki Matsui.
1944- St. Louis Browns' hurler Nels Potter is banned for ten days, becoming the first pitcher ever to be suspended for throwing a spitball.
1969- At Connie Mack Stadium , play between the Phillies and Cubs is halted in the third inning with the two teams moving silently to their respective baselines to look skyward as the Phillies' crowd is informed word that Neil Armstrong has landed on the moon.
1976- Hank Aaron hit his 755th and last big league homer off Angels' hurler Dick Drago.
2006- In a 26 inning New York-Penn League game which takes 6 hours, 40 minutes to complete at KeySpan Park in Coney Island, the Oneonta Tigers outlast the hometown Brooklyn Cyclones, 6-1. Mark Wright, a reserve outfielder, is the losing pitcher in the third longest game by innings in professional baseball history

Without the space program we'd never have phoneposting.

I guess they decided to give everyone a day off at once.

Though Crawford's only played two games since the All-Star Break.
