60 years ago today - Red’s pitcher Jim Maloney faces 40 batters in a no-hitter. 10 walks and a HBP in 10 innings pitched.
Ernie Banks goes 0-5. The only man in MLB history to be retired 5 times while his team was no-hit.

I don't have many 1959 Topps cards and I only pulled one 50th anniversary buy back...

Lou Boudreau passed away OTD 2001
Jack Crimian played for Lou on the 1956 A's. Jack is pitching and Ted Williams due to leadoff the 8th
Lou's advice "Only throw 1 warmup pitch and then don't throw him that same pitch - he's watching"

Dick Allen slashed .292/.378/.534 for his career
If you lowered each by 30 points, the ONLY men to achieve .262/.348/.504 during Dick's era are all first-ballot Hall of Famers (Clemente was a special election).
It's crazy that he wasn't in already.

OPS+ leaders for every 10 year span in history - published in Dick Allen, The Life and Times of a Baseball Immortal: An Illustrated Biography in 2017.
This is a great story & I love kids getting involved, but this was the centerpiece to the campaign for 10 years before their teacher came up with it

9 years ago today, our then 2 month old met his namesake - Ryan Howard.
Through some luck and good fortune, he’s gone on to have some moments with other Phillies MVPs - including last night’s AS MVP Kyle Schwarber

Pretty cool how the WNBA's biggest star participates in the signature event of their all-star weekend.

Buddy Lewis was a 22-year old 3B for the Senators that day. He'd finish the season with a career total of 753 hits (only Cobb has more before age 23 with 765)
3 years serving in WWII changed the trajectory of his career.
He lived long enough to respond to me about Lou Gehrig day in early 2000s.

Dan Baker has called 86 different MVPs to the plate in his career.
In every season since 1965(!!!) at least one MVP had Dan call them during their career
51 men have won the award at least once since 1990. Dan has called 50 of them (Juan Gonzalez the only missing)

Harry Kalas and Jesse Cole - two of the most popular men in baseball history - have similar origins to their love of the game
I saw a podcast with Cole and immediately thought of Harry / Mickey Vernon.
Both stories are awesome. Take a couple minutes and watch.

77 years ago today - Babe Ruth bids farewell to Yankee Stadium.
He uses Bob Feller’s bat to lean on in his weakened state. Feller inscribed the photo and wrote a letter to me about the day.

Finishing touches on the team set to give the little league team I coach. I hope they enjoy it half as much as I do.

Happy 72nd birthday to George Brett. Maybe deserves a spot on the 3B Mt Rushmore.
Royals scouting report on him hinted that he smoked weed “I like his actions on the field. May have ‘hippy’ problem”
