Foolish Baseball I don’t mind the sponsors; but be careful using TAPS comedically. It’s disrespectful and in general, baseball fans by-and-large are the sort of people who might take offense to that. Just something to consider.

My eyes!!! Bald

An important thing you glossed over, my man: Hoss's warmups with that numb arm. Several hours before game time he'd start by tossing the ball feebly to catcher Barney Gilligan standing just a couple of feet away. Little by little Hoss would loosen up and take steps back, back, back, until he was throwing at Gilligan from second base. Moving forward to the mound when the game began was like batting right after taking several weight rings out of your bat. Speaking of which, here's another fun but often overlooked stat: Ol' Hoss had 387 Plate Appearances that season, 361 At-Bats.

Fun fact, for this season, old hoss radbourne had a pitcher war of 19.2 according to baseball reference. That is the 3rd highest pitcher war in history, and yet somehow only the second highest WAR of 1884! While hoss did lead the NL in innings, era, and era+, Pud Galvin set the all time record for pitcher WAR at 20.5 playing for the buffalo bisons

For reference, it took the Cleveland Browns 12 years 2 months, and 8 days (October 26th, 2008 - January 3rd, 2021) to win 60 regular-season games.

I'm from Providence and people here think that I'm completely batshit insane when I tell them that we used to have an MLB team, and that team won the first World Series thanks to the first dude to ever flip the bird on camera. Then I show them this video...

Especially watching those stats that morph with the passing of time (for wins, SOs, ERA, etc), you can definitely see Old Hoss was totally a dominant beast in the early days.

One of the most underrated series! This should get way more views and likes. I cant imagine the time that goes into making these vids. Bigs up to you man keep up the great work!

As a baseball historian I really appreciate the effort! I was well versed in the career of Old Hoss prior to this video and have told friends about his amazing numbers. Not sure if they ever believed me BUT I can assure you I'll be forwarding this vid to them! Thanks for your hard work! keep it up
