“Living inside the prison of fame is worse than living inside the other prison”… Elvis Presley.
The question of the week: Today is 85 years since the end of one of the most celebrated records in baseball history. Do you remember which one it is?
The answer: On the morning of May 2, 1939, Lou Gehrig met with Yankees manager Joe McCarthy and said, “Please don’t include me in the lineup for today’s game. “It is impossible for me to help the team.”
The manager placed Babe Dahlgren in the batting order as first baseman, after Gehrig had held that spot for 14 years, in 2,130 games, a chain that had begun on June 1, 1925, when he was called to pinch hit at first base. bat.
That string of consecutive appearances in Major League games was the record, until it was surpassed by Cal Ripken Jr., who reached 2,632, and it was closed on September 20, 1998.
“If you are already old, do not rush to pray to God, soon you will be able to make your requests personally… Joseph McKadew.
The umpires are very poor this year. The protests are being heard even by Papa Dios, San Pedro y Cía. in the Beyond of their properties.
Because no less than half of the umpires in the Major Leagues suffer from inveterate blindness, which prevents them from seeing the strike zone and from an unhealthy acceleration when applying Rob’s clock.
Star pitchers like Max Scherzer (Rangers) have publicly erupted in protest against the stupid abnormalities. “We need to qualify the umpires,” Scherzer said, “and those who don’t work in the Major Leagues should be sent to the minors.”
Not to Ángel Hernández. That one has no remedy. And it is not fair to make such a joke on the minors. Hernandez must be sent to his house, on a direct flight and with a one-way ticket only.
Due to flock of bees suspended in Phoenix. Suddenly hundreds of bees were flying and buzzing across the field, in the Phoenix stadium, creating terror among the Dodgers and Diamondbacks uniforms. They had to hire a bee specialist, named Matt Hilton, to fix things. It was all because the poisonous honey lads had built a tremendous nest at the top of the back stop. The game was suspended for about two hours.
“The most difficult thing is to know ourselves, the easiest thing is to speak ill of others”… Tales from Mileo.
Thanks to the life that has given me so much, even a reader like you.
