Years ago when I saw a guy with a sweater that read 'National Baseball Hall Of Fame And Museum, Cooperstown NY', I asked him if he had been there, and he answered by simply flashing a thousand kilowatts smile in his face. Then I questioned him about his experience and he just said: 'It's the Disney World for Baseball fans !!!' Finally, I was there for the induction of my fellow Puerto Rican Edgar Martínez in 2019, and it was even better than what that guy had said, it was the greatest weekend of my life, something I will treasure forever.

If you love baseball, a pilgrimage to the Baseball HOF is a must! I've been a couple times, and it was just as powerful each time I went. Baseball is a part of this nation in a way no other sport is. My uncle is in the HOF as part of the 1903 Boston team (World Series). George "Candy" LaChance- 1st base. ⚾️
@fr63137 жыл бұрын
Wow , your uncle is Candy LaChance ? I live in Boston and am a lifelong Red Sox fan . I have ready many stories of your uncle including how he got his nickname (Candy). For me as a boy, I met and became friends with 2 members of the 1912 Red Sox . They were in their late 80's at the time and I was only 15 , but I had a wonderful sense of appreciation for these men and that I was seeing a piece of history that would be forever treasured . Today I consider meeting those 2 1912 team members as one of the greatest thrills in my life

In 1970 I was 12 years old and me and my family took the trip from the state of Maryland to Cooperstown, New York for my dad to interview for a job at Bassett Hospital, local health care center. I stayed in Cooperstown until I graduated from high school and 1977 and I could tell you so much about how it has changed over the years. It was a nice little town that shared the baseball with other non-baseball shops and stores. We loved it that way and I could take you up and down each individual street and tell you what used to be here and there. I always say I don't think my two feet missed any real estate and the Village of Cooperstown and surrounding area. There's so much that you don't see that was there in the past which is sad because with those memories come so much love for not only the game but the village and the people that supported it.

Henry Chadwick is the dude that promoted baseball, through his newspaper coverage of the sport & promoting it as a healthful American activity that aligned with the aggressive traits of his adopted country.) Great commentary by Bob Costas, Lasorda & Joe Morgan!
@buddaking11442 жыл бұрын
Over nearly 145 years of professional baseball, no player was tougher to strike out than Hall of Fame shortstop Joe Sewell. In 7,132 career at-bats, Sewell heard the umpire say “Strike three” just 114 times. That’s one strikeout for every 63 at-bats, or once every 17 games, or in just .014 percent of his total times at the plate. Hall of Fame slugger Babe Ruth, whose power at the plate became synonymous with baseball during the time he and Sewell played, racked up nearly 12 times more punchouts in the big leagues. “I never had trouble seeing the ball,” said Sewell, who often claimed he could see the spiraling seams on a baseball. “That’s because I followed it in. Why, I could even see the ball leave my bat.” So it was more than a noteworthy occurrence when on May 13, 1923, Joe Sewell struck out twice in one game for the first time in his career. In truth, it was more like an historical aberration. As an American League star in the 1920s and 1930s, Sewell regularly faced some of the best hurlers the game had ever seen, including Hall of Fame names like Red Faber, Waite Hoyt, Walter Johnson, and Herb Pennock. In 96 matchups, Hall of Famer Lefty Grove - he of 2,266 career strikeouts - could never reach strike three on Sewell, prompting him to call the shortstop the toughest batter he ever faced. So with those impressive hurlers in mind, “Who was the first pitcher to strike out Joe Sewell twice in a game?” might make for one of the better trivia questions in baseball history. That’s because the answer is rookie Cy “Wally” Warmoth, who was making just his sixth career start when the Washington Senators traveled to Cleveland’s Dunn Field to face Sewell’s Indians. By May 1923, Warmoth did have a couple wins against the Yankees under his belt, but few could have predicted that he would be the first to send Sewell back to the dugout twice. Though there is little anecdotal evidence from the game, a New York Times box score shows the lefty Warmoth collecting four strikeouts that day, but also issuing nine walks and losing to Cleveland by a 5-2 score.

Definitely a great season last season! It’s certainly nice to see Aaron Judge become the next and latest Yankee captain after Derek Jeter! And Aaron Judge deserves the owner he is very good player, and he shows leadership on and off the field! I think that Aaron Judge at the end of his career could very well become a Hall of Famer!

Lest anyone thought Sewell was falling into a slump, the patient shortstop did not strike out again for another 32 games (more than a month’s time), and fanned just nine more times the entire season. After 12 total punchouts in the 1923 campaign, Sewell would only become more disciplined as time went on. Between 1924 and his final season in 1933, Sewell recorded two seasons with just three strikeouts and three more with only four strikeouts. In fact, he was hit by a pitch more times than he struck out in five different seasons during that span. Sewell’s consistency stretched beyond his plate discipline. A .312 lifetime hitter, he carried a 1,103 consecutive games played streak through much of the 1920s. Perhaps his most incredible feat is that he used the same bat, seasoned with chewing tobacco and sanded with an old Coke bottle, for every game of his career. Warmoth, the southpaw who twice set down Sewell in 1923, would not last in the majors beyond that season. As for Sewell, he would only suffer one other two-strikeout game - against another rookie southpaw named Pat Caraway (who would last in the majors just three seasons himself) during an Indians-White Sox tilt on May 26, 1930. Call it beginner’s luck for Warmoth and Caraway. With a hitter as foolproof as Sewell, there’s no other way to explain it. “There’s no excuse for a major league player striking out 100 times a season,” Sewell said in 1960. “Unless, of course, he’s blind.” Sewell was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1977.

I've always felt that all the brick & mortar "Halls of Fame" are kind of a waste time because a person with true "fame" (like Babe Ruth for instance) doesn't need a plaque on a wall--everyone knows who they are anyway. And any person who does need a plaque on a wall to be remembered is--by definition--not famous and therefore isn't worthy to be up there. 'Hall of Fame" was originally just a phrase applied to those people who have achieved immortality because of great deeds or accomplishments. A "real" hall of fame is paradoxically--virtual. It exists only in the public mind and you can't be chosen or elected to it.
