“Between games, Willie Mays came over to me and said, 'Now, in the second game, you’re going up against Bob Gibson.' I only half-listened to what he was saying, figuring it didn’t make much difference. So I walked up to the plate the first time and started digging a little hole with my back foot…No sooner did I start digging that hole than I hear Willie screaming from the dugout: ‘Noooooo!’ Well, the first pitch came inside. No harm done, though. So I dug in again. The next thing I knew, there was a loud crack and my left shoulder was broken. I should have listened to Willie.” - Jim Ray Hart
I asked my producers not to make any clips from the dad grief portion but enough people reached out about this part I changed my mind.
Jim Nantz on what Arnold Palmer told him about his dad is one of the most impactful things I’ve ever heard. A lot of people need to hear this.
Look at this box that we just got... it's from one of the only remaining undefeated teams in college football!
The Missouri Tigers have such great colors, an awesome mascot, and one of my favorite running backs in the country!!
Thank you Coach Drinkwitz and @MizzouFootball!!
#OTD 1981 - Bob Gibson is inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Gibby was selected by 84% of the Baseball writers, which tells me that 16% didn't watch a baseball game in their life.

Everyone says a pitcher has that “bulldog on the mound” energy.
But who’s actually built like that?
Using traits found in mound psychos — high FB usage with mid stuff, tempo obsession, improbable comeups, and survival instinct — I built Bulldog+.
Mark Buehrle leads with a 199 Bulldog+ — 22 points above the next highest!
