7am has Isaias at 110 mpg going to major hurricane status. Deep convection circumnavigating the eye wall.

BREAKING: “Isaias on the Cusp of Major Hurricane Strength.” -NHC

[Ryan Hall, Y’all @ryanhallyall]

Three planes flew through the middle of Hurricane Isaias overnight. The pressure dropped from 973 to 962 in five hours while they were in there. Lower means stronger, and it's now 1 mph short of a Category 3.

[Reed Timmer, PhD @ReedTimmerUSA]

The eye of Hurricane Isaias continues to warm rapidly with further intensification into this morning. This happens with increased subsidence within the ring of intense convection. This hurricane is a big problem

Tim Raines stole 808 bases and got caught almost never, succeeding 84.7 percent of the time. Add 2,605 hits, a .385 on-base percentage, and seven straight stolen-base titles, and you have a leadoff man who did everything well.

October 8, 1973

The Pete Rose-Bud Harrelson Brawl

With the New York Mets leading the Cincinnati Reds 9-2 in the top of the fifth inning of Game 3 of the 1973 National League Championship Series, the Reds' Pete Rose attempts to break up a double play and slides hard into Mets shortstop Bud Harrelson.

The two throw hands, and a nasty bench-clearing melee ensues behind second base.

The fight had stemmed from self-deprecatory comments made by the notoriously light-hitting Harrelson following Game 2, to which the Reds took umbrage: "The Big Red Machine looked like me hitting out there."

In the bottom of the inning, after order is seemingly restored, fans at Shea Stadium proceed to shower Pete Rose with debris (including soda cans and a whiskey bottle) in left field.

Reds manager Sparky Anderson pulls his players off the field, and National League president Chub Feeney threatens the Mets with a forfeiture if they could not get the crowd under control.

A contingent of Mets — including Willie Mays, Tom Seaver, and manager Yogi Berra — walk to left field and are successful in calming the fans.

The video includes Bob Murphy's classic radio call, an NBC news report featuring Jim Simpson's television call, and comments made years later by Harrelson and Rose.

How the Atlanta Braves reacted to winning the 1997 nlds

[Baseball In Pics @baseballinpix]

The Astrodome with natural grass and transparent roof, 1965. The 8th Wonder of the World opened with real grass, but there was a massive problem: the glare from the clear roof panels blinded the fielders! To fix it, they painted the ceiling, which sadly killed the grass and led to the invention of AstroTurf the following year.

[Chloe Hankins-Gonzalez | 2030 @ChloeHG2030]

What a night on the field! 🏈🔥 Had 2 interceptions, a touchdown, and pulled a few flags! Got to show my versatility playing blocker, receiver, and center tonight. We came out strong and got the 42-0 WIN! 💪🏽💯 Proud of my team! What a game! 🏈🔥 .
