Trump: Karoline Leavitt decided she loved her children more than she loved Trump. I'm very upset about this. She has to go home and spend time with her children. That does happen on occasion with some people when they love their children
The Olympic drone pilots are the best thing that happened the games, unsung heroes, period.
The coverage this year is officially on another level. We can finally feel so much closer to the action, it's pure magic, unreal.
Is it just me, or is this the best upgrade in years?
This is just the tip of the iceberg. West St. Paul is next to South St Paul, which is by westside St Paul, but nowhere near the geographical western border of St Paul. Both North and South St Paul are east of St Paul. But there is no East St Paul, only St Paul Park.
68 years ago today, on July 25th, 1956 a baseball miracle took place before a sparse crowd at Forbes Field.
In his sophomore year with the #Pittsburgh Pirates, Roberto Clemente came to bat with the bases loaded, nobody out, and his team trailing the Chicago Cubs 8-5 in the bottom of the ninth at Forbes Field. He faced pitcher Jim Brosnan.
As the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported:
"Brosnan made one pitch, high and inside. Clemente drove it against the light standard in left field. Jim King had backed up to make the catch but it was over his head. The ball bounced off the slanted side of the fencing and rolled along the cinder path to center field. Here came Hank Foiles, Bill Virdon and then Dick Cole, heading home and making it easily. Then came Clemente into third. Bobby Bragan had his hands up-stretched to hold up his outfielder. The relay was coming in from Solly Drake. But around third came Clemente and down the home path. He made it just in front of the relay from Ernie Banks. He slid, missed the plate, then reached back to rest his hand on the rubber with the ninth run in a 9-8 victory as the crowd of 12,431 went goofy with excitement."
Little did the crowd know but the play that ended the Pirates-Cubs game on July 25, 1956. was, in fact, the ONLY walk-off, inside-the-park grand slam in baseball history.
