If MLB would just enforce the rules instead of basically ignoring it, then we’re not having this discussion.

I never really knew how the Savannah Bananas came to be. This was a cool read.

This is one of those things that sounds noble but was really not executed well. Some of those new "major league records" are absurdly small sample sized. Eugene Bremer now has the ERA season record (he started six games). The single season WHIP record is now held by a pitcher that threw 22.2 innings. I like the idea but hopefully they will reset the minimums so these "records" are discarded.On Monday, Baseball Reference, the go-to source on the internet for such matters, would have told you that Stan Musial led the major leagues with a .357 batting average in 1943. It also would have said numerous pitchers took a turn leading the majors in strikeouts per nine innings between 1927 and 1945, and that the top three batters in career adjusted on-base-plus-slugging percentage were Babe Ruth, Ted Williams and Barry Bonds.
A day later, all of that looks much different. Now, Tetelo Vargas of the New York Cubans (.471) and Josh Gibson of the Homestead Grays (.466) have both surpassed Musial in 1943. Satchel Paige, a dominant pitcher for more than 20 seasons, has taken over eight of those strikeout titles. And Oscar Charleston, perhaps the finest all-around player in Negro leagues history, has bumped Bonds for the third-best career mark in adjusted O.P.S.

I assume you can just filter by "MLB".

Those stats are meaningless outside of the context of what league they were played in.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/15/spor ... agues.html

Interesting article about the Mercedes homer a month ago.
By 538's metric, not the worst "disrespectful" homer ever. That belongs to Tommy Wilson, who hit a 3-0 homer off of Pirates legend Keith Osik in the 9th inning of a 15-3 game in 2000. Tommy's manager at the time was... Tony LaRussa.
No one seems to have made a big stink about it back then. Curious as to why the Mercedes HR was such a big issue now.

the idea of a "disrespectful home run" is so entirely imbecilic. Especially for professional athletes. get the guy out, its not little league where people are worried about fee-fees

Imagine Strasburg being asked to contribute in such a way.

The guy who DH’s on his off day is reason not to have the DH?He's a reason to not have the DH. Other pitchers need to up their hitting game.
MLB
why not immediately answer “no” to that question? You’re not under oath and you’re not going to be caught with a positive steroid test like Ryan Braun. The weird dancing around the question leads me to believe that he uses whatever the hell spider tack is every game
