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's Game

Today in Baseball History

1927 - Babe Ruth hits his 60th home run of the season in the eighth inning off Tom Zachary to lead the New York Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the Washington Senators.
1945 - Hank Greenberg's grand-slam home run in the ninth inning on the final day of the season beats the St. Louis Browns 6-3 and clinches the American League pennant for the Detroit Tigers. Virgil Trucks, discharged three days earlier from the Navy, is the starter, with Hal Newhouser relieving in the fifth.
1947 - In the first televised World Series, the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 5-3 in the opening game.
1949 - Ralph Kiner hits his 54th homer and 16th in September, as the Pirates beat Herm Wehmeier and the Reds 3-2. The monthly total eclipses Cy Williams' 1923 National League mark.
1956 - White Sox hurler Jim Derrington becomes the youngest pitcher in modern history to start a game. He loses to Kansas City 7-6 at the age of 16 years and 10 months.
1972 - Roberto Clemente doubles off Jon Matlack during Pittsburgh's 5-0 victory over the New York Mets. The hit is the 3,000th and last for the Pirates star right fielder, who was killed in a plane crash during the offseason.
1980 - A's outfielder Rickey Henderson sets the American League single-season stolen base record with his 98th in a 5-1 win over the White Sox, breaking Ty Cobb's record of 96 set in 1915. Henderson will finish the season with one-hundred stolen bases.
1981 - In the last major-league game at Minnesota's Metropolitan Stadium, Kansas City clinches at least a tie for the American League West second-half title with a 5-2 win over the Twins. Next season, the Twins will play in the brand-new Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis.
1990 - The final game is played at old Comiskey Park with the White Sox edging the Mariners, 2-1. The final regular-season won-loss record at the old ballpark is 3,024-2,926 (.508).
1992 - George Brett becomes the 18th player to get 3,000 hits in the Kansas City Royals' 4-0 win over the California Angels.
1998 - John Smoltz becomes the winningest pitcher in postseason history, allowing only five hits in 7 2/3 innings as the Atlanta Braves cruise to a 7-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of their National League divisional playoff series.

As an O's fan, I am used to rooting against Jon Lester, so this is an easy transition. Go Royals.

Shoot, it even sounds like Orioles.

You can use an international proxy or something like unblock-us with MLB.TV. Not sure about any other HD options, but MLB.TV does indeed work.

A wide smile and perfect hair

This could be the last time any of us ever have to hear about the James Shields trade.

Support happiness. Support Oakland.
