Walker Buehler Strikes out 8 ?

Nope again!

But it's one of the players you can see in the box score. Keep guessing!

Gavin Lux drives in a run

The regular season for an Ohtani tribute league just ended. League rules required drafting pitchers who gave up lots of home runs and poor throwing catchers to allow the 2024 Ohtani's to put up big numbers.

We drafted 2008 Jack Cust as a cheap corner outfield option. He put up a .220/.313/.539 slash line in 684 PAs, hitting 57 home runs. But the craziest part? 289 strikeouts, leading the league by a mile!

Believe It or Don't!

In the recently completed season 85 of the OTLOD league I had a AAA guy who led the league in triples with 19.
Not common but not "believe it or don't" territory. The wild thing is he led the league and got his 19 triples with only 282 ABs!
Even stranger he had no triples in his last 47 ABs

Wow...1899 Hughie Jennings...that's a great get in randomly assigned AAA. A .400 OBP and 4 3B/100#. Cool season.

How does Bobby Murcer top a walk off home run in the 11th versus a division rival?

A walk off grand slam in the 12th!

Everyone of us as kid probably imagined what I call the "childhood dream" at bat: bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, down by 3, and you hit the walkoff grand slam.

Well, Gordy Coleman did just that, today. In the 7th game of the World Series.

J.Jay enters the game to pitch. F.Robinson draws the walk. DP D.Pavletich grounds a single to LF. DP T.Perez is frozen on strike 3. DP L.Cardenas draws the walk. DP G.Coleman crushes a grand slam to RCF.

In the 1926 season of the NWP-RE progressive, we have had FIVE players reach incredible milestones.

Babe Ruth hit his 400th HR
Pete Alexander won his 400th game
Eddie Collins and Tris Speaker each got their 4000th hit
Ty Cobb got his 5000th hit (!)

Ruth, Collins, and Speaker are all teammates!
