sorta? not much better than a savings bond, though. (also, the betting apps need to stop.)

the Netherlands has dozens on baseball players. (or, at least, Loek van Mil should've counted as more than one.) (r.i.p. to a tall guy)

they should call Gaus's game a Rick Reed.
(Let's remember some strikebreakers)
Rick Reed was one of the replacement players during the players strike of 1994-95. Although he was ostracized by fellow players after crossing the picket line, Reed was eventually accepted by teammates after joining the New York Mets, with whom he spent most of his big-league career. When he finally earned his chance to pitch regularly in the majors, he showed that he belonged. Reed was one of the anchors of the Mets’ starting rotation during his tenure with the team. He used finesse and was often called “the poor man’s Greg Maddux.” He pitched some clutch games for New York and showed that he truly was a major leaguer, not just a replacement

Texas Rangers: never doing the right thing by choice. (curious if any orgs offer paid paternity leave)

Ryan Rowland-Smith walked (1 out of every 12 batters faced), so that Pete Crow-Amstrong could run.
(HELL YEA I had the "hyphen" shirt the Mariners made for RR-S.)

Ripper Collins: cursed the Cubs with an electric chair. sabr.org/bioproj/pers...
On August 9, 1937 the Cubs were leading the National League pennant race by six games when the team visited Cook County jail in Chicago. Collins thought it great fun to jokingly take a seat in the electric chair. Superstitious teammates chided him for doing what they considered to be an omen of bad luck. In the first inning the next day, Collins fractured his right ankle sliding into home plate. The Cubs lost the game to the Pittsburgh Pirates and nosedived to ultimately lose the National League flag to the New York Giants.10 Collins was never quite the same player, either at bat or in the field.

My current haul from the library is good: we've waited years for the last volume of Amulet, and I'm enjoying the non-oof Naomi.
