Occasionally, stupid baseball trivia wins things. Years and years ago, pre-internet, Dad took me to a minor league game that had a trivia contest: Who was the winning pitcher in the first night game in World Series history?

You submitted your answer and dropped it in a box. Dad happened to know it off the top of his head. I think he won a free car wash or something.

So is Hamels just dead or...

Possibly back next week.

Everybody involved would be stupid to do that, but it's talked up by the Braves.

The Braves have set a new franchise record with 25 runs.

We've just finished the 6th.

Now 29-9 in the 7th after Adam Duvall's grand slam.

Yeah, that.

I'm kinda curious as to how that 49-33 game went down. That was probably pretty crazy.

Retrosheet doesn't have a play-by-play, but the box score is pretty amazing.

The best description of the game comes from the Brooklyn Eagle, the article being "A Disgraceful Scene in Troy". Scroll all the way to the right to find the article.

If you think the writer was upset at the quality of the play, you're wrong. The writer was upset about the umpiring and players saying "hell" and "damned" during the game. He was also upset over the baseball being used, that its core had too much rubber in it instead of being an actual dead ball.

This article is the source of the box score as I haven't seen it in any other publication.

e: Length of the game? 4:30.

The best part is he was tossed for the initial soft kick and then he went back to kick more dirt on the plate.

Norm Cash is a guy whose name I never heard growing up, career OPS+ of 139 and one of a very small handful of players who posted a season OPS+ over 200.

The only thing I can recall about Cash is that he was the final out for Nolan Ryan's second no-hitter. He came out with a table leg instead of a bat.
