Today in 1988: the #Orioles lost their 21st straight game to start the seaon. It set an #MLB record for the worst start to a season, and an American League record for consecutive losses at any time in a season. They ended the year with a 54-107 record, 34.5 games out of first.
Bet this will surprise a lot of fans…

Today in 1961: Roger Maris hit his first of 61 home runs in his record-breaking season. He had previously played with Cleveland and Kansas City, and was in just his second season with the #Yankees. He'd just hit a career-high 39 home runs in 1960. #MLB #baseball @RMaris0961

Jack Chesbro is a pitcher you may not be aware of, but he owns the modern day (after 1900) record for most wins in a single season: 41 set in 1904. He was the ace of the New York Highlanders (they became the Yankees in 1913). Chesbro started 52 games in 1904 and completed 48,…
Today in 1976: Two protesters ran onto the field between innings at Dodger Stadium and doused an American Flag with kerosene. Cubs outfielder Rick Monday sprinted and grabbed the flag before they set it on fire. He got a standing ovation. Monday still has the flag. He's turned…

Today in 1962: For the second time in his career, Sandy Koufax tied the major league record of 18 strikeouts in a 9-inning game. He also did it in 1959. Koufax shared the record with Bob Feller. That record is now shared by Roger Clemens and Kerry Wood (20).
June 8, 1921: Babe Ruth went straight from jail to the ballpark to help the Yankees beat Cleveland. Babe went before the magistrate that morning for speeding in his new Packard, his second offense. He was ordered to pay a $100 fine and spend a day in jail. His uniform was…
Today in 1952: New York Giants pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm hits a home run in his first major league at-bat. It will be the only homer the Hall of Famer ever hits in the big leagues. #MLB #baseball #Giants #HallofFame

Here’s a video of Ken Griffey Jr. robbing a dinger to brighten up your day.
Here's the video of Max Scherzer discussing the electronic strike zone and how he'd fix the future of umpiring in baseball. Really interesting response. Kind of dig his approach.
Scherzer on umps: "We need to rank the umpires. Let the electronic strike zone rank the umpires. We need to have a conversation about the bottom — let's call it 10% — whatever you want to declare the bottom is, and talk about religating those umpires to the minor leagues."
