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 Games


Today in Baseball History
  • 1906 - The Chicago Cubs won their 116th game of 152 played for a winning percentage (.763) that has not been matched.
  • 1922 - For the first time, the entire World Series will be broadcast over the radio. Writer Grantland Rice does the announcing of the Giants-Yankees Series for station WJZ, Newark, whose signal is relayed to WGY in Schenectady
  • 1944 - The only all-St. Louis World Series opens with the Browns, as the visiting team, beating the Cardinals on George McQuinn's home run, 2-1. Denny Galehouse is the winning pitcher and Mort Cooper loses despite allowing just two hits.
  • 1948 - The Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Red Sox 8-3 in a one-game AL playoff. The pitching of Gene Bearden and the hitting of Lou Boudreau keyed the victory.
  • 1955 - The Brooklyn Dodgers won their only World Series with Johnny Podres beating the New York Yankees 2-0.
  • 1969 - The major leagues held their first divisional championships. The New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 9-5 and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-3 in 12 innings in the opening games.
  • 1980 - Mike Schmidt's two-run home run in the top of the 11th inning gives Philadelphia a 6-4 win over Montreal, clinching the NL East title for the Phillies. The home run is Schmidt's 48th of the season, breaking Eddie Mathews' single-season record for third baseman set in 1953.
  • 2001 - With his third inning home run, 42-year-old Rickey Henderson breaks Ty Cobb's record to become the leading run-scorer in baseball history. To punctuate scoring his 2,246th run, the Padre outfielder slides into home.
  • 2003 - The Cubs win their first postseason series victory since 1908 when the franchise won the World Series. In front of a standing-room crowd of 54,357 at Turner Field, Chicago beat the Braves in the deciding Game 5 of the NLDS, 5-1.

Why do I have a feeling that the second game will be so fantastic and I'll miss it. I'm predicting Vin Scully will drive out in a monster truck doing donuts on the infield and then emerge to play an electric guitar solo while tapdancing.
