The Red Sox are the first team in MLB history to enter a calendar month 10+ games under .500 and leave said month 7+ games over .500

Only 2 previous teams had even entered 10+ under and exited TWO over: 2019 SF July & 1996 BOS Aug

[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

In 1997, a footballer accidentally proved a physics principle in a soccer game that had been invisible for 300 years.

Roberto Carlos lined up for a free kick about 40 yards from goal during a France versus Brazil friendly match in Paris.

The ball sat exactly where a free kick should sit, the French wall stood between him and the goal, and everyone in the stadium knew what was about to happen. Carlos was about to attempt something that shouldn't exist in physics.

He struck the ball with his left foot at an extreme angle, nearly perpendicular to where the goal actually was. The ball curved so dramatically through the air that French goalkeeper Fabien Barthez literally didn't move. He watched it arc impossibly wide, certain it was going nowhere, his body language screaming "that's out." Then the ball bent back toward goal like it was magnetized. It crossed the goal line before Barthez could process what his eyes had just witnessed. Goal.

The stadium went silent for a second.
Then chaos.

That moment became legendary not because it was a beautiful goal, though it was, but because it revealed something about physics that most people had never actually *seen* in real time before. The ball had broken the straight line. It had obeyed a force that existed entirely in the air, invisible to the naked eye, bending space itself through sheer rotation.

That force is called the Magnus effect, and it's been hiding in plain sight in sports for over a century. Every curveball in baseball, every spinning tennis serve, every banana kick in football, every slice shot in golf. They all ride on the Magnus effect. But Carlos's free kick was different. It was the perfect storm of velocity, spin rate, and distance that made the force so visually obvious that even people who'd never heard the word "Magnus" understood something supernatural had just occurred.

Here's what actually happened in the physics.

When you strike a spinning ball with enough velocity through the air, the rotation creates a pressure differential on either side of the ball. The side spinning with the direction of motion builds up a layer of fast moving air that stays attached to the ball's surface. The opposite side spinning against the direction of motion sheds that air layer and creates lower pressure. You end up with higher pressure on one side and lower pressure on the other. Bernoulli's principle then drags the ball toward the lower pressure region. The ball curves.

That's the Magnus effect in its purest form.
It's fluid dynamics.

But here's where most explanations stop and where most people fail to grasp the real picture. The Magnus effect is *proportional* to the spin. Double the spin rate and you approximately double the curvature. But it's also proportional to the surface area. A larger ball, all else equal, experiences more Magnus effect than a smaller one. And it's wildly proportional to velocity. Lower the speed too much and the curve becomes almost nonexistent. Add speed and the curve amplifies. This is why a baseball pitcher's curveball becomes more dramatic at higher velocities, why a tennis serve curves more than a lob, and why Carlos's free kick had to travel at a certain speed to work.

Carlos struck that ball at precisely the intersection point where spin and velocity aligned to produce maximum curve over that distance. Any slower and it lands straight in the wall. Any faster and it overcorrects and misses wide. The goal was practically a mathematical solution to an equation nobody needed to solve except his foot somehow did it perfectly.

The reason this moment matters beyond football is that it made visible something that had been operating invisibly in physics and engineering for centuries. The Magnus effect powers helicopter rotors. It's why airplanes have wings. It's why you can throw a frisbee and it actually stays airborne instead of just dropping like a stone. Every spinning object moving through air experiences it. Every sport that uses a ball depends on it.

Yet most people go their entire lives without consciously recognizing this force exists.

What Carlos did was compress a century of physics education into three seconds of visible reality. He created an experiment that couldn't be ignored or dismissed or explained away. The ball curved. The goalkeeper saw it. The universe didn't change. Nothing magical happened. Just matter responding to force across empty space in exactly the way the math predicted.

The interesting part isn't that it worked. The interesting part is that we'd organized the entire sport of football for decades without truly understanding why the ball did what it did. Strikers had developed intuition about how to make a ball curve, but that intuition was operating in the dark. They couldn't articulate the relationship between spin and speed and distance. They just knew that if you hit it a certain way, it would curve a certain amount.

Then Carlos made it visible.

What happened after was instructive. Within a few years, every serious free kick taker started studying the Magnus effect. Sports scientists began measuring spin rates with new technology. Training programs started including tutorials on precisely where to strike the ball, how much curve you could generate at different velocities, how wind affected the trajectory. The gap between top tier free kick takers and everyone else widened because now you could *understand* the phenomenon you were trying to exploit.

Science doesn't change physics. It just brings the invisible into focus.

That free kick lived in the gap between intuitive mastery and conscious understanding. Carlos had mastered the Magnus effect through pure repetition and feel. But once everyone else saw it work that clearly, you couldn't claim ignorance anymore. You had to reckon with what was actually happening in the air.

In some sense, that's what every great demonstration does. It takes something that was operating beneath the surface of our attention and makes it unavoidable. The double slit experiment did that for quantum mechanics. The Michelson Morley experiment did it for the aether. A free kick did it for aerodynamics, and most of the world never even realized they were watching physics.

The next time you watch a free kick curve perfectly into goal, understand that you're watching the Magnus effect in action. You're watching air pressure differentials, Bernoulli principles, and rotational velocity align perfectly. You're watching physics become soccer.

And somewhere, a physicist is probably jealous that a football player got to make it look more beautiful than any equation ever could.

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

On August 1, 2009, Dalia Dippolito of Boynton Beach, Florida, got into the passenger seat of a red sedan for a clandestine meeting and told the driver she wanted him to kill her husband.

She offered him $7,000, and he responded that he'd already bought the gun.

They agreed on a date and time when she would be at the gym to establish an alibi.⁠ ⁠When Dalia arrived home from her workout on the day of the planned murder, her house was a crime scene.

Police told her that her husband was dead and she broke down in tears right there on the street. Officers consoled her and escorted her to the station for a debriefing and explanation.

There, she continued to sob in horror and disbelief — until the man she believed to be dead came out from behind a doorway.⁠ ⁠

The whole operation had been a setup. The hitman was an undercover cop and her husband himself was in on the sting — with the entire saga had even been recorded for an episode of "COPS."

[The Movie Professor 🎬🎥📺 @FunMovieTVFan]

In the middle of baseball season, here are some Major League Major Facts:

-Dennis Haysbert actually hit multiple home runs on camera while filming. In the final game when he hit his final home run, he was so excited he forgot to drop the bat and ran the bases with it despite that not being in the script.

-For many of the wide crowd scenes of the climactic playoff game, there were over 20,000 extras in the stands. When the team first ran onto the field with the crowd roaring, Haysbert admitted to being emotionally overwhelmed by the experience. Former Major Leaguer and technical advisor Steve Yeager noticed Haysbert's reaction and said to him, "That's what it's like 162 times a year."

-In the scene where Jake invades Lynn's party, one of the guests asks how much Jake makes in the Majors. He replies, "I make the league minimum." At the time (1989) the MLB salary minimum was $68,000. Average household income in 1990 was roughly $30,000. 

-The opponent slugger known as Yankees' home run threat Haywood was played by former pitcher of the Milwaukee Brewers, Peter Vuckovich. Vuckovich never hit a single home run in his entire 11-year major league career. In fact, during 8 of those 11 years he never made a single plate appearance since he was pitching in the American League, which uses a designated hitter to bat for the pitcher.

-At the start of the "pennant race" montage, Willie Hayes is shown with 16 pairs of gloves nailed on his bedroom wall, indicating that he had stolen 16 bases in the first 101 games. At the end of the montage, he has at least 78 pairs on the wall, having stolen 62 additional bases in fewer than 60 games.

-Haywood's line of "How's your wife and my kids?" was completely improvised by Pete Vuckovich. Ward couldn't think of a good insult that Haywood could say to Taylor, and Vuckovich, assured Ward that he could come up with something on the spot, which was what was caught on camera.

-Chelcie Ross (Eddie Harris) played baseball in high school. He was a three-sport star, also playing football and basketball.

-Wesley Snipes was not very skilled at baseball in real life, never having played much before. Ward said Snipes was so awful there were no scenes of hom throwing.

-The vehicle that Willie Mays Hayes drives to opening day of spring training is a customized VW Beetle with a Rolls Royce grill, replacement trunk and hood ornament. The "Elegant Beetle" kit, as one was called, was popular in the mid-70s to the mid-80s until Rolls Royce sued a company responsible for one of the conversion kits. 

-Charlie Sheen admitted to Sports Illustrated that he took steroids to prepare for his role. He believed the steroids he took caused him to increase his fastball to 85 MPH.

-Former Major-League catcher Steve Yeager served as a coach for the actors in training for the movie, also serving as a stunt double for Tom Berenger in many scenes when Jake Taylor would make a throw from home plate or be in a home plate collision, as well as play third-base coach Temple.

-While not particularly specified, many of the players in the movie seem to be based on, or inspired by, former Major League stars. Pedro Cerrano, according to author/director David S. Ward, is based on Orlando Cepeda and Wade Boggs, who would superstitiously eat chicken before every game.

Willie Mays Hays is based on Rickey Henderson.

Ryne Duren was the inspiration for the character Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, according to Ward.

Eddie Harris appears to be inspired by Gaylord Perry, who was well known for using outside substances to enhance his pitches.

Jake Taylor may be inspired by Carlton Fisk, a catcher who had a long career with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox. Lou Brown mentions early on that Taylor was an All-Star in Boston.
