1946 at Griffith Stadium in Washington D.C., Bob Feller has his fastball clocked at 98.6 using the U.S. Army's Sky Screen Chronograph.

This device was used by the Army to measure the velocity of artillery shells

The Chicago Sox are a small-market team. Chicago is dominated by the Cubs. Everyone knows this.

I really wish they had moved down here (Dt. Pete) back in 1988, in hindsight. I happened to be in town, and I still have this. Doesn't fit...


Like the Wolverines, they peaked in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

How many folks here have heard of a catcher's balk?

Yes, I have. I think the most common one is using equipment (generally the mask) to play a ball.

I think the balk is still charged to the pitcher though
