Sox fan living in NYC, been to 34 games this season between Citi field and the other place. I have had this day on my radar for a while and knew it could be possible to attend all 3 games in one day.
Game 1 - stayed till the end of the game then took the 4 and 7 train to citi field. Took me about 50 min.
Game 2 - got there for the top of the 3rd and was able to see the mini rally the Mets had to take the lead. Left this game around the 7th inning 6:15 to make it back for first pitch of the Sox game.
Game 3 - Arrived just before first pitch Back in the Bronx for a disappointing end to the day. Sox just ran out of gas.

Overall very fun day, I only saw 23 of a possible 27 innings, Red Bull, Gatorade and Italian sausage with peppers and onions kept me going. Don’t think this opportunity comes around too often but boy did I sleep well last night.

Up until 2019, the fact included Washington DC. With the Senators winning in 1924, but the Nationals winning in 2019 left the Brewers as the only team.

Extra fun fact about the Braves.

The Braves are the only franchise to have won World Series championships in three different cities: Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta.

Cheers to playoff baseball, and cheers to all the small market teams to made it.

From Bonds’ Wikipedia page:

“In 2003, Bonds withdrew from the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) licensing agreement because he felt independent marketing deals would be more lucrative for him. Bonds is the first player in the 30-year history of the licensing program not to sign. Because of this withdrawal, his name and likeness are not usable in any merchandise licensed by the MLBPA. In order to use his name or likeness, a company must deal directly with Bonds. For this reason, he does not appear in some baseball video games, forcing game-makers to create generic athletes as replacements. These generic video games replacements tended to be white and sometimes had different handedness which was done likely to avoid potential player likeness lawsuits from Bonds.”

Per MLB rules, a player qualifies to lead the league in rate stats (batting average, on base percentage, earned run average, etc.) by averaging 3.1 plate appearances per team game for hitters or one inning pitched per team game for pitchers. In a 162 game season, a player needs 162 innings to qualify as a pitcher and 502 plate appearances to qualify as a hitter.

What’s going on in it?

If not, have you seen a better catch?

With their 5-1 loss today vs the Oakland Athletics, the White sox have now tied the 1988 Baltimore Orioles with 21 consecutive losses.
