Ken
Davidoff NY Post: MLB plan for 82-game season looks very unlikely now. “In
the dumpster fire that is 2020 Major League Baseball, “You’ve Got Mail” hardly
constitutes a feel-good title. Instead, it represents the latest exchange of
rancor between the players and owners concerning the ultra-tense negotiations to
reopen this season.”
Continue to believe there will be baseball. Manfred’s ability to mandate a short season would seem to almost ensure that, barring Covid spike. Manfred prefers negotiated deal w/players but has in back pocket ability to mandate season of any length, provided player pay is prorated

1944

Annabelle Lee, aunt of future
major leaguer Bill Lee, pitches the first of five perfect games in the
12-year history of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The
Minneapolis Millerettes southpaw knuckleballer, who will also pitch a
no-hitter for the Fort Wayne Daisies exactly one year from this date, doesn't
allow any batters to reach first base in the 18-0 rout of the Kenosha (Wis)
Comets.

1992

Eddie Murray sets a new RBI record
for switch hitters, driving in the 1,510th run of his career with a
first-inning sac fly in the Mets' 15-1 rout of Pittsburgh at Three Rivers
Stadium. The New York first baseman surpasses Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle's
18-year total to establish the new mark.

1999
|
Derek Jeter's streak of reaching
base safely ends at 54 straight games when the Mets keep him off the
basepaths in their 7-2 win over the Yankees in the Bronx. The defeat also
marks the end of Roger Clemens' streak of 20 consecutive victories, an
American League record.

2006
|
On the sixth day of the sixth
month of the sixth year of the century, the Dodgers score six runs in the
sixth inning during the sixth game of the homestand, beating the Mets, 8-5.
On 05/05/05, the Twins scored five times in the fifth inning en route to a
9-0 victory over the Indians.

2003: In interleague play,
the New York Mets end
the Seattle Mariners' 13-game
road winning streak with a 3 - 2 victory in the first meeting between the
teams. It is the longest streak in the majors since the Detroit Tigers' 17
straight road wins in 1984.
2010: Major League Baseball is
investigating an injury to under-performing Mets pitcher Oliver Perez, who
was placed on the disabled list with
tendinitis in his right knee on June 5th; he is 0-3, 6.28 this season. The
suspicions come because the injury is very convenient to the Mets: Perez has
refused an assignment to the minors, and manager Jerry Manuel has
stated that he will not use him in games that have not already been decided.
Had the injury not appeared, the Mets would have had to choose between two
equally unpalatable options: release Perez
and swallow the remainder of his $12 million a year contract; or waste a
valuable roster spot on a
player who cannot contribute to the team.
Amazing

66 years ago this week, @Pirates pitching coach Clyde Sukeforth scouted Joe Black, with the Montreal Royals. Sukeforth later wrote to Branch Rickey, “Black hasn’t pitched, but I have you a draft choice.” Pittsburgh drafted Roberto Clemente later that year. https://t.co/WcfHPlHiP9 pic.twitter.com/bp15dPJzAj

Wow, I was shocked to think Carleton Wiley could still be alive. But he passed away back in 2009.
ReplyDeleteBaseball (players, owners) are idiots if they can’t amicably settle this and play ball. Play 80 games at 40% of normal annual pay, everyone lose something, and play ball. No sliding scale. In the very unlikely event you get permanently disabled or killed by COVID, $10 million insurance policy. If fans can return (seems virus just might be losing some potency) make it more than 40%.
OK, that’s done, grab a mitt, let’s go.
The commissioner needs to lead on this for the good of the game. He is too much in the owner's camp and not an impartial judge.
