There was also another cool little stat today: Today was the first game since 1925 in which both teams used a position player on the mound. The Red Sox and Orioles went 17 innings today with 1B Chris Davis pitching 2 innings and getting the win. Davis had a very pitcher-esque day at the plate going 0-8 with 5 k's. In case you're wondering or you even care, that game in 1925 had Ty Cobb and George Sisler closing out the last game of a doubleheader on the last day of the season for their respective teams. My great grandfather, Bill Jacobson, batted cleanup for the Browns in that game. Hah! That's totally random and really cool. I pulled up his Baseball Reference page, looks like he was a really good player (I'm assuming this is him?). http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jacobba01.shtml Yeah, that's him. My grandmother, now in her 90's, can still recall details of his playing days in Boston when she was a little girl.
