Things that have been invented since Grover Cleveland Alexander set the Phillies record for consecutive scoreless innings in 1911:

The zipper
Sliced bread
Numbers on baseball jerseys
Chocolate chip cookies
Traffic lights
The Titanic
Automated Ball Strike System

Astonishing!

WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED? 🤯

Sabastian Sawe has just become the first person in history to run a sub two-hour marathon in race conditions.

Yomif Kejelcha was also under two hours for second!

[Ron Southwick @RonSouthwick1]

@Pirates @MLB It’s April 22 and Oneil Cruz has 7 HR and 10 steals. I don’t know what his final numbers will be but it could be a lot of fun to watch this season.

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Oh my goodness 😭

Baseball is the best!!

@Super70sSports @TheBuccosFan Imagine getting to the World Series, it goes seven games and hitting .500 in the series. Garner was incredible in that series. RIP.

@Noirchick1 I thought the Memoriam was very well done, but yes, they could have done a better job for Robert Duvall.

What a win for @CocalicoSports basketball!

[Blue Ridge 11 Sports @BRC11SPORTS]

In their FINAL game of the 5A District 3 Playoffs... #5 Cocalico picked up an EXCITING 57-54 Win over #10 New Oxford! The Eagles sharp-shooting, leading scorer Timmy Hambright delivered his "Heroic Moment" with just 5 seconds left on the clock & a tie ball game in the 4th quarter... as Hambright knocked down a Game-Winning 3-pointer, capping off a Game-High 32 points (3-3’s)! Karter Deering added 10 points (2-3’s) for the Eagles in the Win! @CocalicoSports

▪️That's the Final home game of the season for @CocalicoBoysBB... Next up, First Round of the 5A PIAA State Tournament next Friday, March 6! Cocalico (District 3 - 7th place) will face the District 7 - 3rd place team (Hampton: 16-8 record) at a site TBD in Western PA!

@JMackeyPG @_NoahHiles @MattFreedPhoto Outstanding!

[Ron Southwick @RonSouthwick1]

The Roberta Flack tribute at the Grammys was phenomenal. She was so amazing.

@jemelehill Nearly 400 writers vote for the Baseball Hall of Fame. The football hall should have a much bigger voting pool than 50.

[Ron Southwick @RonSouthwick1]

Hoping the amazing @alanalda is enjoying a fantastic 90th birthday.

[The M*A*S*H Historian @MASHhistorian]

Happy 90th birthday to the legendary @alanalda!

This hurts the Football Hall of Fame's credibility. Baseball's Hall of Fame selection process isn't perfect, but it's a lot better. A key difference: Nearly 400 baseball writers vote for its hall, which minimizes the chance of big mistakes. Football's hall has 50 voters.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Bill Belichick, the 8-time Super Bowl-winning HC, is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, per @SethWickersham and @DVNJr. Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

In 2001,One of his biggest moments: he hit a grand slam w/2 out in the bottom of the 9th to beat #Houston #Astros 9-8!

Here’s some fun facts about the HR “VH1 Pop-Up Video” style:

@TraiDay79 Still don’t think Steelers should have twice as many passes as runs. And run with Warren.

[Ron Southwick @RonSouthwick1]

@fidgenewton Say we need touchdowns on offense! :)

[Ron Southwick @RonSouthwick1]

@TraiDay79 You could put on the Friermuth jersey which isn’t getting much use. Would be nice to target Pat in the second half. And run the ball more.
