I’m surprised Ernie Shore isn’t on here. The only man to retire 27 batters without allowing a hit, walk, or HBP and not be credited with a perfect game. Why? Because Babe Ruth started the game, waked the first batter, punched the umpire, and got tossed. Ernie Shore was brought in to relieve Ruth and after the runner was caught stealing 2nd, retired the next 26 hitters in a row. No perfect game but it was the first combined no hitter.

None of that matters. If you have ever bet on baseball you know you can't "just bet on your team to win." You have to bet on a point spread. Even if you "bet on your team to win" you are betting that they will only win by a specific amount. By default that means Pete Rose had a financial incentive to make sure his team didn't score so many runs that they blew out the other team. That means if he bet his team would win by 1 run he would lose if they won by 2 runs. With baseball in particular you can't just "bet on your team to win." If that were the case you could bet on the Dodgers to win every single game. You would be wrong sometimes but it would be a guarantee that at the end of the season you made a profit. That means the people accepting the bets would know they are guaranteed to take a loss. No one will ever allow anyone to bet like that. You have to bet on a run differential which means Pete Rose may have wanted his team to win but at the very best he didn't want his team to win by very much. That in and of itself could have created losses for the Reds. There is no such thing as just "betting on your team to win" when it comes to gambling. The only people who say that are people who have no idea what gambling actually is. Gambling is running numbers. It has nothing to do with winners and losers.

Always thought Pedro caught too much heat for throwing him to the ground. Pedro was just strolling up, not fighting with anyone, just being there for his teammates, he singled Pedro out and ran straight at him, Pedro even looked around and you can see him mouth, “what?” And in the moment he tossed that dude past him, he could have done far worse. Know your age and act it, your an old ass man trying to fight an elite athlete, but bc your old he’s just supposed to let it happen. Pedro didn’t do anything wrong.

​@@SamtheBravesFanBill James wrote an article a number of years ago about the difference between Jeter and Brendan Ryan IIRC (comparing him to a guy who was, by all defensive metrics, an average defender). Looking at plays featuring balls hit to essentially the same spot on the field, at the same velocity etc etc, the plays Jeter just barely made with his jump throws were typical put outs for Ryan, who was able to get to the ball easily and set his feet before throwing the runner out by plenty. To put it simply, Jeter looked a lot better than he was because of how bad he actually was.

Crazy how good Trout was before the injuries. Still think he is one of the best if he can avoid them which he hasn’t been able too the past few seasons. Sucks because people already forgetting how good he is and was. I really hope we get at least a couple of more healthy Trout seasons before he retires. Truly one of the best to ever play.

I did know a good majority as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. Of these , great video

He lied over and over and over and over and over again when if he had just owned up, he might already be in the Hall. He's also a colossal sack of trash as a person so it's not like the Hall is missing some gem of a dude. His accomplishments are still enshrined throughout the Hall, but that's about all he deserves

I know it's a one year old video and not many will actually care to read this comment, but Jordan actually a pretty decent stat spread when he played for the Barons in 1994 and actually took the sport seriously as he was trying to get over his father's death, as well as honor his late father apparently wanted him to be a baseball player initially. Aside from his dad dying the fact that he was feeling some burnout from basketball due to the Summer Olympics of '92 and his overall fame were also driving factors on why he swapped to baseball, but his dad's death was likely the trigger for him to shift. The biggest factor on why he probably didn't continue baseball aside from probably wanting to go back into the NBA, was due to the fact that due to the 1994 player strike occurring and it not being resolved until April 25th of 1995 , he realized he might be selected as a replacement player for the season, which probably would have tarnished his legacy a bit, and returned to the Bulls in March of 95. I will say if the strike didn't occur in 1994 there could have been a chance for Jordan to debut for the White Sox, but the only reason his brief stint in baseball occured and why he was able to return in the middle of the 94-95 season was due to the fact that Jerry Reinsdorf owned both the Bulls and the White Sox at the time, never canceled Jordan's NBA contract and owning both teams made him able to still have Jordan under contract regardless of which sport he would have stuck with.
