Some of the best facts in baseball involve one of the most under rated players ever. Joe Sewell. This guy in 1932 in 503 at bats only struck out 3 times. Pretty sure that will never be broken. Joe also set a record for most consecutive games without recording a strikeout at 115. Another record that won't be broken. Besides his prowess of not striking out his numbers are pretty impressive. Lastly in 7,132 at bats in his career he only struck out 114 times.

You guys should do a video about how Peter Angelos is wrongly villified. He broke the owner's argument in the 94 strike by refusing to stand with them or sign a document blaming the players for the strike, something that does take a lot of integrity to do with that amount of money on the table. He was a lawyer if he wanted to do mental gymnastics to the public he easily could have. He spent big and got burnt on players like Albert Belle. Then he realized he couldnt compete with the AL east financially so he set up the best farm system in baseball. And Baltimore fans have always said he's the worst owner. I think you should push back on that.

Read the most recent Mantle bio 'The Last Boy,' where author Jane Leavy goes into the extensive forensic examination of the ball he hit out of Griffith Stadium, I believe, in '53- I recall they came with 631'. Also, if you had been in the old Yankee Stadium, and seen with your own two eyes (I have) where he hit the facade, and how far back on to the field the ball bounced, you wouldn't think the same about that 565'. Looking up at that spot on the facade, and trying imagine a ball hit up there- whew! Almost incomprehensible.

The Cardinals not having back to back losing seasons is in jeopardy this year although at the time of this post they are 61-63. And just to show you how sick Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were, in 1927 Babe Ruth hit 60 homeruns batting in front of Lou Gehrig. That means that at least 60 times Gehrig came up with no one on base. And he still had 173 RBI.

[@jimwerther]

I've heard that claim about Gehrig before, and it's _way_ off base. Leadoff hitter Earle Combs had a .410 OBP. Ruth an utterly insane .486 OBP. Even if one takes away the 60 PAs where Ruth homered, the rest of the time he had an OBP of .437! Then behind Gehrig in the order was Bob Meusel, who slashed .337/.393/.902 that year. So in fact, Gehrig had possibly the best position in baseball history to drive in runs. I'm not picking on Gehrig, undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever put on the spikes. Ruth, in fact, credited Gehrig with helping him reach 60 homers, as without Gehrig's protection Ruth could never have had the opportunity, as he would have been pitched around far too often. But let's just set the record straight here.

[@MarkPear-k6v]

@@jimwerther Way off base? Gehrig was that good, and had another half dozen seasons with amazing RBI totals, including the 166 in 1934 in Ruth's last Yankee season when he hit only .288. Also don't forget that the #2 hitter in the '27 lineup had a more human OBP of only .320 (I've never seen any explanation on why Huggins hit Mark Koenig in the 2 hole..) Yeah, you could take a few off his '27 RBI total- but on the other hand, he had 185 the following year! I think the cliche of Lou being overshadowed by The Babe has a lot of truth to it- Gehrig was a beast.

[@jimwerther]

@@MarkPear-k6v You misunderstand my comment. Never did I diminish the incredible greatness of Lou Gehrig. All I pointed out was that the notion that 173 RBI was even more impressive because he was batting behind Ruth is totally backwards. When looking to drive in runs, there are few _better_ places to bat in baseball history than behind Ruth.

Ted Turner's one day in the dugout was May 11. 1977 loss to Pirates. He couldn't go any further in that capacity because of MLB's 'Mack' rule - anyone who has ownership stock in a franchise cannot be a uniformed/or otherwise active member like Connie Mack. BTW - Ted's uni number was 27, he couldn't us 29 - the channel number for WTBS-TV station because Andy Messersmith wore that and for one game the name on the back of his uni was 'channel' and of course that produced another letter of admonishment as well.
