Just My Thoughts-Tim Lincecum threw a hitless game for 7 2/3 innings last night. Just another bench mark for the freak to reach in his already storied career. The big story Monday night was Aroldis Chapman of the Reds got his heat back and broke his record and the fastest pitch ever clocked on radar at 106mph!
Quote Of The Day–
When they start the game, they don’t yell, “Work ball.” They say, “Play ball.” ~Willie Stargell, 1981
On This Day In History–
1927 | Calling the play-by-play in the Tigers’ 8-5 victory over the Indians, Edwin Tyson becomes the first person to broadcast a game in club history. The broadcaster begins with what will become his familiar refrain on WWJ, “Good afternoon, boys and girls, this is Ty Tyson speaking to you from Navin Field”. |
