Waiting for the Call
Went to Atlanta to see a couple Brave’s games this weekend with my wife and her family. Had to privilege to see the first game decided by instant replay ever. Brian McCann hit a would-be home run that was at first called wrong by the 2nd base umpire. They conferred, went into the dugout to watch the replay, then came out and ruled the homer. Video is team and the stands waiting for the call and after the call.

Saw a game there on my honeymoon summer of 1994.

MIAMI—The Florida Marlins delayed the start of their game against the St. Louis Cardinals last Sunday when Steve, their fan, failed to show up at Sun Life Stadium by the scheduled 1 p.m. start time.

“Eventually it comes to a point where there just aren’t enough future games to turn things around for a baseball team,”

Really enjoyed this article from Joe Posnanski, even read some of it outloud to Shelley.
Nike x Ken Griffey Jr: Goodbye Baseball, Hello Cooperstown
Tremendous.
Awesome commercial, Griffey Jr. is one of the baseball icons of my generation.
“He almost never walked a batter — he unintentionally walked just 92 batters in more than 1,000 innings. Absurd. In 1980, he intentionally walked more batters than he unintentionally walked. He threw four wild pitches in his career. Four.”

Quote is out of context with the rest of the article, which you need to read the whole thing, it’s very touching. I just love baseball stats especially when I read them and think WOW, that’s awesome.
