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
  • 1888 - Kansas City Cowboys rookie Billy Hamilton, recently purchased from Worcester, steals his first base in the major leagues. Before returning to the minors in 1902, Sliding Billy will amass 912 stolen bases, a record broken by Lou Brock in 1979.
  • 1948 - Negro League legend Satchel Paige makes his first major league start, hurling seven innings to lead the Indians over the Senators, 5-3. Prior to today's game, the future Hall of Famer made eight appearances in relief, compiling a 1-1 record for the Tribe.
  • 1957 - Bobby Bragan hears on the radio he has been fired as the Pirates' manager and replaced by Philadelphia third base coach Danny Murtaugh. Pittsburgh general manager Joe L. Brown leaked news of the hiring before informing his disposed skipper.
  • 1959 - For the first time, there are two All-Star Games in the same year. With the managers picking the starting lineup, the American League wins this second contest 5-3 at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
  • 1961 - The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 19-0 for the largest shutout margin in a National League night game.
  • 1979 - At Yankee Stadium, over 51,000 mourners attend a memorial service for Thurman Munson. The Bronx Bombers' captain was killed yesterday piloting a plane that crashed 1,000 feet short of the runway at Akron-Canton Airport.
  • 1987 - Twins pitcher Joe Niekro is caught with a file on the mound and is ejected during Minnesota's 11-3 win over the Angels. He will be suspended for ten games by American League president Bobby Brown, who doesn't buy Niekro's story that he had been filing his nails on the bench and stuck the file in his back pocket when the inning started.
  • 1989 - The Reds score fourteen runs in the first inning of an 18-2 demolition of the Astros. Major league records set during the onslaught include most hits in an inning (16), most players with two hits in an inning (7), and most singles in an inning (12).

I really wish the Giants won't suck today, but if wishes were good players, I'd have a outfield full of Mike Trouts.

Angels scored runs, and scored a bunch of them in the first :toot:. Even the outs were loud. They probably won't score the rest of the game though.

Pagan is magic. Just the thought up him causes the Giants to score runs.

It's pronounced "Key-Kay". He used to be an Astro, so I'd know. Still, not a good name for someone in the United States.
