You missed #4. I figured that would be the most difficult to get. I doubt anyone gets it without looking it up, But, I'll wait until tomorrow morning to give it away in case someone can get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, Walter Johnson has a higher Career WAR than Young, but Young's pitching WAR is highest. Johnson passes him in career WAR due to being better at the plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 The Presidential ceremonial first pitch was first conducted in 1910 by William Howard Taft. Originally, the POTUS threw the pitch from his spot in the grandstand. Ronald Reagan was the first President to take it onto the field. The photo below is one of four first pitches thrown by JFK during his presidency (3 Opening Days and an All-Star Game). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 This week, Dusty Baker became the first manager in MLB history to lead 5 different teams to the playoff. But, some may have forgotten he was a solid player for 19 seasons during the 70's & 80's. Loved it when he managed the Reds. If it was any team but the Astros, I would be rooting for him to get his first world series championship. .278 lifetime hitter. 1981 hits 242 home runs Over 1,000 RBIs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
