Back in the old days, Newspapers would have cartoons of interesting things that happened in the previous day's game. This one is from May 13, 1912 in The New York Times, the day when Cobb ran into the stands. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/cobbpunch.jpg

Either the Tenn defense is real good or that QB is real bad.

yeah, i was gonna say, his birth certificate puts his career in jeopardy. lol, that's a good one. Question for me now is whether he's a Hall of Famer. His candidacy is up in the air for me. Part of me recognizes that his counting stats are certainly beyond where they should be for a second baseman. The question then becomes how much of that is a product of the era that he played...if that even matters at all.

The flexfit fitted caps that have come out the last few years are great. The only Cubs one I have is a batting practice one from a few years ago.

That contact would have gotten them suspended today.

Robin Roberts, one of the more underrated pitchers in baseball history. From Bill James' Abstract, which has Roberts as the 16th greatest pitcher of all-time: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/robin5.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/robin1.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/pitchrobin.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/robin2.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/robin3.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/robin4.jpg

i know we've done it before, but now seems like a good time to rehash that conversation about what would happen if you put old-timey ballplayers in a time machine and made them play today. go ahead

Some really random Ted Williams pictures. Here is Ted with Jimmie Foxx in 1939: http://www.baseball-fever.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=50783&stc=1&d=1220095696 August 24, 1940. Tigers leading Bosox 11-1, Ted comes in to pitch the 8th inning. He gives up a single but then throws out the runner at second, force out when the next batter bunts. Ninth inning gives up two singles then strikes out Rudy York on three pitches. Earlier York had 2 singles, one double, one HR and 5 RBI's. Two innings pitched, one earned run, one walk and one strikeout. http://www.baseball-fever.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=50784&stc=1&d=1220097336

Awesome pic Bhogg!

lol, that audio is awesome. Ron is such a homer.

That's just unbelievable. Pretty gross abuse of power over something fairly stupid. Although the guy was wrong in saying that they were violating his first amendment rights. I'm assuming that Yankee Stadium is private property. Your first amendment rights are very, very limited on private property.
