Satchel Paige comes out of the bullpen at Cleveland Municipal Stadium to make his first Major League appearance at the age 42, July 9, 1948.

On this date in 1968, St. Louis Cardinals ace Bob Gibson tossed a three-hit shutout against the Houston Astros at the Astrodome, beginning one of the greatest stretches of pitching in the modern era. His 7-0 victory was the first of five straight shutouts, and he would go on to work nine scoreless innings eight times during a stretch of 11 starts in which he allowed a total of just three runs and went 11-0.

The hard-throwing right-hander posted a 0.27 ERA over 99 innings—that’s 11 complete games---and opponents batted .163 and slugged .190 against him in that stretch of 11 starts. After shutting out the Astros, Gibson blanked the Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates to close out June. Then he worked shutouts against the San Francisco Giants, New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies in July. He allowed a single run in each of his other three starts that month and finished July at 15-5 with a 0.96 ERA. At season’s end, Gibson was 22-9 and had set the modern-era single-season record with a 1.12 ERA, a mark that still stands today.

...and if you want to know why they lowered the mound and invented the DH, it's because a guy with a 1.12 ERA lost 9 games.

not sure if it will help the angels, but it can't really hurt

I have always wondered why Ohtani picked the Angels and Trout extended with them. Talented team that can't play their way out of a wet grocery bag. 

Sacking the coach is the easy solution.

All the good of LA and none of the pressure the Dodgers have.  Like being a Met or a Jet or a Bruin.
