Opening day of the 2025 MLB season. Braves led, but the Padres got to the Braves bullpen, and won 7-4. 161 more to go.
Today was my last all day long Zoom call with Patrick, Bob, and Eric. Explained what I do, as I did it. Sure time consuming tools can be developed that would make my wife easier. I just don't have time to develop them. Too busy feeding the beast that is SAP.
DENNY NEAGLE [B-R Bio] collected his first MLB hit off Pedro Martinez, an inning after Pedro tripled off him, a single in the 5th on 22-May-1994. Martinez had tripled in the 4th. For soliciting & consorting with a prostitute, Neagle was released by the Rockies and his $51,000,000 contract, one of the largest at the time. Neagle was an All Star in 1995 with the Pirates, and in 1997 with the Braves. The 1997 CYA voting had him solidly in he bronze position, behind Pedro and Maddux.
TOMMY BYRNE [SABR Bio] is the only pitcher to walk 13 or more batters more than one. Byrne did it 3 X: 08-Jun-1949; 22-Aug-1951; 28-Aug-1951; In these games, Dom DiMaggio, Gil McDougald, and Don Kolloway walked four times in one game. each in the games above. NYY'S Byrne hit MLN's Nippy Jones in the foot, prompting the "shoe-shine" HBP in the 10th inning of game 4 in the 1957 WS.
