To be fair, when Matt presented, it was ABOUT how the fans felt about the Phillies, so the booing really just added to the ambience. I could smell the cheesesteaks.

@adarowski.bsky.social is there a way to search for teams who had the most catchers in one season? The 1884 Phillies had 12, which is a lot.

This would be cool if the games were played in Hartford and Quebec. Otherwise, this is a stolen valor money grab. Neither fanbase supported the Quebec Nordiques or Hartford Whalers when they were in the NHL.

The night Rick Wise threw a no hitter, he hit two home runs. Three strikeouts. And that was just a random day in June.
Unreal night by Ohtani.

Ed's last address was at 1240 Palmer St., which was familiar. Why? Because Reach's factory was at Tulip and Palmer Streets. They are within walking distance.

I decided to dive into Ed Sixsmith a little. In the 1900 Census, he was listed as a BASEBALL STITCHER! Now, how cool was that. Did he work at Reach's factory on Tulip St?!
