Today SABR launched an incredible new book and companion website on Baseball at Manzanar: How We Played the Game, 1942-1945. It’s the story of 120,000 Japanese Americans who were removed from their homes after Pearl Harbor and forced to live at remote incarceration camps: sabr.org/baseball-at-...

#Baseball pioneer Effa Manley was the first (to-date, only) woman elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. @baseballhall.org Manley was co-owner of the Newark Eagles (a Negro League powerhouse) & a staunch advocate for Black ballplayers & civil rights causes. She was born #OTD in 1897. I ❤️ ⚾

Effa Manley (1897–1981), pioneering baseball executive and civil rights advocate; she co-owned the Newark Eagles of the Negro National League with her husband Abe from 1935 to 1948, actively managing the team, fighting for fair treatment of Black players, and becoming the first (and only) woman inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006 for her contributions to the Negro Leagues and baseball history.

The black-and-white photograph shows her leaning forward from inside a vehicle or through a window frame, gazing into the distance with a slight smile; she wears a tilted hat with a ribbon band, a tailored jacket over a light blouse, and gloves, her dark wavy hair framing her face, set against a dark background with partial lettering visible on the side.

To the 800 triple plays in @sabr's database, today are added 60 from the Negro Leagues. A handful of these are outside the @mlb recognized period of 1920 through 1948. sabr.org/tripleplays

Hulk Hogan truly was the real America: an icon you were dutifully instructed to adore as a child and then every single piece of information about what he was, what he did, and what he thought about things made you hate him more and more, and in a way, yourself for falling for it.

Here's the story of how I found a new major league player from 1873 over the weekend. It all starts with this record for Fred Crane, who is credited with two stints in the National Association in 1873 and 1875. www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cr...

Does anyone know if there is a list of all the players who were voted in/selected for the East-West All-Star games each year? For example, Parnell Woods was voted in to start for the West in 1943, but did not play because of an injury. Is there a list somewhere that mentions players like this?

Bob Love put thousands of miles on his car each year talking to school kids about overcoming his stutter, worked in the city's soup kitchens and handed out presents each Christmas to the less fortunate. He was the very picture of the impact a former athlete can have on his city. #RIP

Does anyone else collect memorabilia of players that are from your hometown? This is one of my favorite pieces in my collection. A signed Bobby Burke GPC that is post dated 12/13/34 from Joliet, Illinois. Burke was born and died in Joliet, less than a mile from my childhood home.
