You didn’t mention the most unique trait about Rickey Henderson. In the modern era , post 1900 he is the ONLY POSITION PLAYER WHO THREW LEFT AND BATTED ONLY RIGHT HANDED WHO IS IN THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME. There are plenty of HOF PITCHERS who throw left and bat right ( Koufax, Randy Johnson) but Henderson is the only position player…

(35:34) The Mariners just drafted a switch pitcher in the 2024 draft, with full intention to let him pitch from both sides!

[@SconnerStudios]

Thanks. After watching this video, I'm definitely going to look more into this "baseball"

[@maxp2305]

1:35:25 Rafael Ynoa is my pick. He was playing 3rd base for the Rockies AAA affiliate in 2014 and I will never forget hearing the ball whizz out of his hand after fielding a routine grounder. I swear he threw it at least 102 to the first basemen and, at the time, that was easily the hardest thrown ball I had ever witnessed in person (again, he was a 3rd baseman)

[@CrashPK77]

Coolest/weirdest batting stance: Rod Carew. So weird, but so effective. Honorable mention: Wade Boggs. The bat never stopped moving.

[@lovedavantlamour301]

Carew definitely had a strange swing in the sense that it was so flat it doesn’t make any sense how he managed to hit as many homers as he did ( which he hardly hit any ) , but Rickey Henderson and a couple other guys had similar crouched stances , the weirdest stances I can think of off the top of my head are Luis campusano and Craig counsell

[@northstarjakobs]

Cal Ripken Jr's "violin" stance is another example of a stance with a lot of bat movement.

[@IBangedUrMom69420]

It’s what always made me wonder why we criticize swings that look weird. Rose, Carew, even Rickey all had weird stances but they all hit at hall of fame levels. If it works, it works

[@Yeo-]

One strange part about this video was at 38:00, when NMF said that Judge hitting 62 homers set the franchise record and got everybody excited for some reason. I mean yes, that first part is true, but a little reductive. Judge broke the Yankees, American League, and players who haven’t had to testify in front of congress about their alleged PED usage single season home run record, a record that has been seen as one of the most illustrious ones in all of baseball. Besides this strange little bit, this was an excellent video as usual, and goes to show how spoiled we baseball fans are with quality content.

I think dynasties are a part of the rule of 3s. It has to be a span of 3 years of dominance. Chicago Bulls winning 3 championships made them a dynasty. (one of the main determinants of serial killers is having 3 separate victims/ killings over a space of 3 weeks or a month.) Most determining factors of greatness consist of the rule of 3s. (3 championships, MVPs, 3 great stats)

54:23 so I was a catcher growing up, I quit to play lacrosse but now have an 8U son who catches. I taught him framing and an umpire told him every time he frames he’s calling it a ball. If he’s framing it’s because he thinks the pitch was a ball therefore the ump is going to assume it was. I could not believe he told an 8U player that 😂

[@kevinandrewsphoto]

21:00 - I agree that there’s no real definition to a Dynasty, but most people agree you need at least 3 rings and usually were the favorite for the years you didn’t win. I’m a Giants fan, people call our 3 rings in 5 years a “Dynasty”. But we missed the playoffs the other years, and were never the favorites. The 90’s Yankees were most definitely a power house dynasty. In basketball, the Warriors. In football, the Chiefs *vomit* and obviously the Patriots before them. So the Astros are one WS away from being a legit “dynasty”

An obscure baseball fact that I really like, is the nickname of Phillies pitcher Hugh "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy. Every season he had more losses than wins. He led MLB twice in losses, and he led the league twice in in Earned Runs. He was a better career hitter than legendary Phillies pitcher Roy "Doc" Halladay, though, so that's something.

You should have mentioned the only death during an at bat in mlb history. It was a Cleveland Indians shortstop, Ray Chapman, who was killed by Carl Mays when a ball struck his head during his at bat. The pitcher was known as a very aggressive one, and the day was especially cloudy. Combine this with the dark brown balls, and Chapman likely lost the ball in the clouds. This incident sparked a change in the baseballs from being covered in chewing tobacco, to being a much lighter colour to be easier to see by the hitter.
