WORLD RECORD IN NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP PRELIMS 🤯

Ja'Kobe Tharp ran a 12.75 in the 110M hurdles to set a new world record!

[BaseballHistoryNut @nut_history]

Tony Gwynn had more seasons batting over .360 (7) than seasons striking out 40+ times (0).

In a sport where even Hall of Famers routinely strike out 80–150 times a year, he never reached 41 strikeouts in any season of his career. That's the kind of stat that sounds impossible today

James Talarico: “We have to protect good paying oil and gas jobs.” 

Talarico introduced a bill in the Texas Legislature to try and eliminate the oil and gas industry in Texas.

Talarico is a fraud.

主砲レイエスの休養問題について

どこかのタイミングで休養日を設けたいところだが、「彼が（打線に）いるのといないのでは全然違うから」と語るように相手にかけるプレッシャーも雲泥の差。

「モーレも休ませたいんだけど…」

Jacob Misiorowski of the @Brewers has a 0.20 ERA over his last 7 starts (1 ER in 45.1 IP).

That's the lowest ERA by any MLB pitcher over a 7-start span (min. 30 IP) since Bob Gibson from June 6 to July 6, 1968 (0.14).

Charlie Sheen reveals the time he spent $7,000 on 2,200 seats to catch a Cecil Fielder home run

“That was April 1996. I did it for Cecil Fielder. In Anaheim at the Big A”

“I called because I wanted to sit in that section. They said, ‘Well, that section’s closed. It’s an underattended game.’ I said, ‘Okay, what about this? How many seats are in that section?’”

“They were like, ‘Uh, 2,200.’ And I said, ‘What if I wanted to buy all of them? What kind of break could you cut me? What kind of deal could you swing?’ I think it came out to something like $7,000”

“It was left field. I wanted to force the hand of the baseball gods and not just catch a foul ball, but catch a home run ball. I figured if I’ve got the entire left-field stands with a couple buddies of mine, I’ve stacked the deck”

“We were hammered. We barely made it to the game. There’s also a great shot in Sports Illustrated of me standing like this with a glove and the empty stands behind me”

“We didn’t catch anything that night. And the next night, not just in that section, but in our seats, four home runs were hit. You can’t force the hand of the baseball gods”

General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.

At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.

Their mission: climb it.

The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.

The Rangers kept climbing.

It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.

They reached the top.

Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.

Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.

The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.

Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.

When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.

Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.
