Baseball makes me happy.

I normally don’t use Baseball Remembers on recent players, but Hall of Fame voters seem to have forgotten how good Mark Buehrle was, especially compared to Andy Pettitte. @ibwaa.bsky.social
Baseball Remembers: Mark Buehrle
Why am I using a Baseball Remembers edition to write about a player who only retired ten years ago and is currently on the BBWAA ballot for the Hall of Fame?

On this day in 1985, Lou Brock was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. “The Running Redbird” stole 938 bases in his career, including 118 in 1974—both MLB records until Rickey Henderson came along. Here’s a my painting of him that was used in Topps’ 150 Years of Baseball set in 2019.

Edmundo Sosa, making his first professional start in the outfield, just robbed a homer from Marcell Ozuna. Holy shit.

#OTD 55 years ago, one of the greatest games in MLB history took place.
Few ppl know about it; no footage exists.
In Nov. 1968, SCLC sports director Joseph Peters wrote to the MLB commissioner, wanting to stage an exhibition game to honor the late Dr. Martin Luther King
