2025 MLB Thread

Second baseman Rod Carew stole home for the seventh time of the season on this date in 1969. He went 3-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored altogether in the 9-8 Twins win in Game 1 of a doubleheader sweep against the White Sox at Met Stadium.

The single-season record for steals of home is eight by Ty Cobb in 1912. Several sources insist Carew rightfully should have had his eighth steal of home in Seattle on September 26, but the umpire—whose view was possibly obstructed—made the incorrect call. Carew started throwing stuff and got himself ejected. Manager Billy Martin was also displeased.

Florida, up 4-1, bases loaded, 2 outs, bottom of the 6th, just intentionally walked South Carolina's best hitter to make it 4-2.

Not sure I'd put the tying run in scoring position to avoid the chance of a grand slam

Next kid hit a bases clearing walk off double

Still seems odd to see Mike Yastrzemski at the plate.   Just raked a one hop ground rule double vs the Bosox

Baseball may be the ultimate pro-sport with family lineage.   definitely makes one feel old.

of all the family trees of baseball, I still think the most ridiculous is Gladys Matta birthing three major league catchers (the Molina boys).  with due respect to the Delahanty family which had five siblings play in the big leagues and the O'neill's that had four.

Never liked the  O' Neills

I actually have some thoughts/theories about this, that are way too late to go into now.  Tomorrow

[MarqHusker]

there's definitely a survivorship bias to say nothing of general genetic/exposure bias behind some of this.  I'm just marveling at the fact that one woman birthed 3 of the approximately 2,000 or so ML catchers of all time.

Genetics are real
