Manny Machado was *this* close to tying things up in the 8th inning. Shades of the 2017 World Baseball Classic when Machado was robbed by Adam Jones at Petco Park.

Cardinals finally got ‘em back with the 10-run first inning in the 2019 playoffs. I turned that game off too.

Lots of people know what Eck did in ‘88, but few remember how he fired up the Braves in ‘96 and then the Cardinals blew a 3-1 lead. sabr.org/gamesproj/ga...

Pretty powerful to hear someone so idolized go on national TV and say “Don’t me like me … I blew it” as he’s dying at such a young age. Not much more needs to be said after that.

Oh, Mantle got plenty of that treatment, both during and long after his career. But he’s been dead for 30 years so no one says it anymore.

Anthony Volpe hit a game-tying two-run homer....until it was called back because of fan interference. The crew ruled that Victor Mesa Jr. would not have caught the ball, so a run was allowed to score.

Sometimes I strike out in the Chicago Tribune (@chicagotribune.com) archives and can't find the print photos that I'm looking for. Plan B: Find the negatives! Take, for example, "The Great One" Wayne Gretzky's 1st NHL game. It was played against the #Chicago #Blackhawks.

The Dodgers have scored every single run this series on home runs … except for the ball that Dubon dropped tonight. That’s not the issue here.

So I hate this so much because what is the point of any of this without giving kids opportunities AND I’m sorry not sorry the best SIDs were not stenographers but instead pros who took the time to know their players and coaches so they could find stories to pitch about them to reporters.

Steinbrenner blows a gasket and fires Torre after they fail to win it all in ‘97. Jeter gets traded to Detroit. The Expos keep Pedro, knock off the Braves, and win it all. Crazy what we could have had!

Enjoying the build-up to the World Series? Me too, but imagine if there were three baseball championships in a single autumn! That was the case 100 years ago, a sports history moment that, like baseball always has, embodied the worst & the best of America. My new column! 🗃️ @keithlaw.bsky.social

Sandwiched between folders containing archival photos of the Chicago Bears + Chicago Cubs in the Chicago Tribune (@chicagotribune.com) photo files is one titled "Chicago Crime." It's a reminder of the sleazy entertainment options that once peppered the city.
