Four Winners

UGA, GT, Clemson, and the Braves all played at the same time Saturday night. They all won. Big Darnell Washington had a few receptions.

Clemson edged NC State. QB DJU remains hesitant.

Tech fired their coach, and suddenly figured out how to kick field goals. Up 19-7 with 4:40 remaining, they held on to win 26-21.

Braves beat Sherzer and DeGrom to take the division lead. 

Heisman winner / NIL millionaire Bryce Young was injured in Bama's win over Arkansas.

Booker T. Washington observed, “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.”

BOBBY THOMSON [SABR Bio] as an 18-year-old is said to have homered on the first pitch he saw with his new team in just his sixth professional baseball game. Thomson homered for the Class D 1942 Rocky Mount Rocks, located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. He had debuted professionally 5 games earlier with the Bristol Twins in Bristol, Virginia. He is the only Glaswegian to play more than ten seasons in the majors, from Glasgow, Scotland where Thomson was born. Thomson once said, “Sometimes it’s like that ball never came down.” His 03-Oct-1951, home run ranked number one on The Sporting News’s “Greatest Baseball Moments”. The “Shot Heard ’Round The World” would forever, in his words, define his career and life.

WALTER JOHNSON  [SABR Bio] is the only pitcher whose career was entirely in the Modern Era, to hit more than 200 batters. He had 205 HBP. He was the first pitcher to strike out ten batters in a World Series game, twice: 1924 G 1 (12 K) and 1925 G1 (10 K). Johnson won league strikeout crowns for eight consecutive seasons, from 1912-1919 with 12 overall, seven of those leading the majors. Nolan Ryan came close with eleven.
