No auto tune needed … just wow.

In 1961 Norm Cash hit .361 with 41 home runs and 132 RBI, led the AL in average, and reached base at a .487 clip with a .662 slug.

Almost nobody talks about it, because Maris and Mantle owned the headlines.

Sam and Dave. "SOUL MAN"💥💥💥

Soul Man" was inspired by the 1967 Detroit riots. During the unrest, some Black-owned businesses marked their doors with "soul" to protect them
Isaac Hayes saw this on TV and was inspired to write the song.

Willie Mays is the only player ever with 3,000 hits, a .300 average, 300 home runs, and 300 stolen bases.

His real line reads 3,293 hits, .301, 660 homers, and 339 steals.

Nobody else checks all four boxes.

June 25, 1953: Al Kaline makes his MLB debut just SIX days after graduating high school, without playing a SINGLE minor league game.

He was THAT good. 🤯

On the last day of the 1941 season, Ted Williams was hitting .39955.

Officially, that rounds up to .400.

His manager offered to sit him. He could have walked away as a .400 hitter without lifting a bat.

He played both games of a doubleheader instead.

Understand what was at stake. Hitting .400 is the most romantic number in baseball. It had been done a handful of times and it was already becoming rare.

Williams was 23 years old. If he sat, the record book would say .400 forever.

He refused.

His reasoning, as he told it for the rest of his life, was that he didn't want to be a .400 hitter with a technicality. He wanted to earn it standing in the box.

So on September 28, 1941, in Philadelphia, Ted Williams played a doubleheader against the Athletics with the single most famous batting average in American sports hanging on it.

He went 6 for 8.

He finished the season at .406.

Nobody has hit .400 in a Major League season since. Eighty five years and counting. It has become one of those records people quietly assume will never be broken again.

And here's the part that makes the whole thing even more absurd.

Ted Williams lost nearly five full seasons of his prime to military service in two different wars. He was a Marine fighter pilot in World War II and flew combat missions in Korea, where he crash landed a burning jet.

He still finished with 521 home runs and a career .344 average.

His final at bat, in his last game in 1960 at Fenway Park, he hit a home run. Then he ran the bases, went into the dugout, and never came out to tip his cap.

And when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1966, he used his speech to argue that Negro Leagues greats like Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson belonged in Cooperstown too. That was 1966. He didn't have to say that. He said it anyway, and it's cited as one of the reasons the doors eventually opened.

Two games he could have skipped.

Eight at bats he didn't have to take.

Six hits, and the last .400 season anyone has ever had.

Pete Maravich played 83 games during his collegiate career at LSU. He averaged 44.2 points per game. I said AVERAGED.

Friendly reminder that only Pete Rose and Ty Cobb have more career hits than Hank Aaron (3771) and that Aaron has 478 more career home runs than Cobb and Rose combined.

The Roots & Ice Cube’s “Straight Outta Compton” from that Jimmy Fallon rehearsal is one of the greatest live hip-hop moments ever. Just a warmup and they still went nuclear. Kirk taking Eazy’s verse might be the highlight.
