Retrosheet wants to thank Mike Murphy @grandmasscorebook.bsky.social and his delightful grandmother (who you can read more about at www.grandmasscorebook.com) for providing several Reds games that Retrosheet needed as we work toward a complete play-by-play record of baseball history.

If you want to engage with other Retrosheet volunteers, we have a mailing list for that: groups.io/g/RetroList and like everything Retrosheet, it’s free.

Now that the BlueSky is bringing over lots of baseball people, let Retrosheet help you survive until Spring Training.

If you’re lonely for baseball, Retrosheet can help. We have lots of games recorded (both audio and video) that can be captured as new Retrosheet data. PM me here if you’d like to learn more about how you can help!

40000 days ago (April 22, 1915), Pittsburgh's Bill Hinchman hits an inside-the-park home run to the center field flagpole, earning himself (and future Pirates who hit a home run in Pittsburgh) 25 pounds of radium fertilizer.

I've mentioned it before, but they deserve another mention because they rule: These daily recaps are just screenshots from retrosheet.org.

A lot of what I do is semi-original and involves building on existing research, but these are just screenshots.

Thanks for everything, @retrosheet.bsky.social
