Bet you might guess what's coming up;

 

Not a big deal, but I thought they really should have interviewed both Barger and Loperfido there....JL's dinger was just as big as AB's....

 

They had two buckets anyway....

Crazy to think with all the great pitchers the Blue Jays have had over their history they've only had 1 no-hitter.

Dave Stieb-

" He took a no-hitter into the ninth inning in a 1985 game; this bid was broken up by back-to-back home runs and Stieb was replaced in the game before he recorded an out in the ninth.[9] In 1988, he was a single strike away from a no-hitter in two successive starts, on September 24 against Cleveland and September 30 against Baltimore; both attempts were broken up on 2-2 counts by the 27th batter (Julio Franco and Jim Traber, respectively).[6] On August 4, 1989, he nearly had a perfect game, but it too was broken up with two outs in the ninth.[10] On September 2, 1990, he pitched the first (and, as of 2024, only) no-hitter in Blue Jays history, defeating the Cleveland Indians 3–0.[11]

 

Going into the 1989, Stieb brought a scoreless streak to 34 straight innings, the longest such streak in franchise history, before giving up one run to the Royals on April 5, 1989."

Francis is 28 years old, so has a few more years to try for the last 3 outs.

I'm thinking he has spot, next year on the opening roster, as one of the 5 starting pitchers.

11:05 this a.m. pacific; a chance to see a historical event.

For the first time, in the 155 years of the league:

a player, Danny Jensen, will play for both teams in a MLB game.

A game that was delayed due to weather, will resume in the 2nd inning of play.

Jays versus Red Sox, in Boston.

Davis Schneider had 2 months, while on first base, to figure out if he should try; and he did steal second base.

Also weird how if Wagner gets a hit- it becomes his first ever MLB, despite him playing for several weeks.- plus he had a hit in the minors when this game started- so a hit in minors and MLB on the same game day?

Babe Ruth 'called shot' Yankees jersey fetches record $24M

 

In perhaps the most anticipated sports memorabilia auction ever, the jersey worn by baseball legend Babe Ruth when he "called his shot" in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series has sold for $24.12 million with Heritage Auctions, setting an auction record for most expensive sports collectible.

 

"This is essentially the Mona Lisa. It's s a very mythical moment that crosses over not only in baseball history, but American history, pop culture history," Ivy told ESPN. "We're still talking about it 100 years later, which is one of the reasons why I think it's the most significant piece of sports memorabilia in the world."
