@MLBONFOX@BenVerlander Jackie Robinson is the most important signing for any sport, any team, ever. To say this in regard to the Dodgers, the very team he played for is just plain ignorant.
On this day in 1974 - On Ten-Cent Beer Night at Cleveland, unruly fans stumble onto the field and cause the Indians to forfeit the game to the Rangers with the score tied 5-5 in the ninth inning.
A B-17 Bomber, seen here, buzzed Game 1 of the 1943 World Series at Yankee Stadium, stopping play in its tracks. The crew was on the way to England to participate in raids over Nazi occupied Europe during the height of World War II.
Comparison of Cleveland #Indians ballparks:
League Park II (1910-1932, 1934-1946*)
Cleveland Municipal Stadium (1932-1933, 1937-1993)
Progressive Field (1994-present)

I am focused on being a first responder. Not only did I take an oath, but I genuinely want to help those in immediate need. I hope we will all be fighting soon and back to our version of normal, but for now let’s make an impact in our communities. #SM

Crosley Field was the home of the @reds from 1912 to June 24, 1970. It was the site of #MLB's 1st night game (in '35) & hosted the WS in 1919, '39, '40 & '61. Check out this @sabr link https://t.co/fj4WrXHGEH
Cincinnati #Reds outfielder Paul O'Neill makes an all-time classic play when he kicks the baseball back to first base! (1989) Happy 57th Birthday Paul! #MLB#History
