On This Day in Pittsburgh History: May 7, 1925

…before that they had scored 5 runs in all 4th innings combined.

MAY. 2.

Am I the only one who keeps thinking, “Boy the Astros have a lot of interleague games this year”?

I am going to embed Game Six of the 2011 World Series on my site right now simply because I can.

Angels  110 040 100 000 001 000 0

A’s        000 101 041 000 001 000 2

WP - Jerry Blevins  LP- Barry Enright

Brandon Moss hit a walk-off 2-run homer in the bottom of the 19th.

Interesting stats

At-bats: Angels, 70; A’s, 71

Worst night: Angels - Josh Hamilton, 0-8, 3 Ks

                    A’s - Yoenis Cespedes, 1-8, 4 Ks

Pitchers used: Angels, 8; A’s 8

Time of game: 6:32 (longest game in A’s history)

The game ended at 1:42 PDT. And the A’s still had a post-game show.

Random fact: The Mets and Marlins played a 15-inning game that lasted 5:32. The Marlins won 4-3 on a sacrifice fly.

Random, depressing fact: The Angels are off to their worst start in history, 9-16.

Alex Rodriguez, current. Babe Ruth, all time.

This is definitely the most dangerous selfie ever taken.

On This Day in Pittsburgh History: April 29, 1932

The first Negro League ballpark in the world is constructed by Gus Greenlee. The Pittsburgh Crawfords will call Greenlee Field home until they disband in 1938. Today’s Josh Gibson Field carries on the field’s legacy. [Wikipedia]

The scout was the Dodgers’ Al Campanis…for whom it did not end well.

The Braves lost one to the Phillies.

The Reds lost one to the Nats and one to the Marlins.

The Rockies are 3-0.

Fun random stat for today.
