Would love more of these. Perhaps the way going to a game was different in the past from today.
Great video. The only "new" rule I don't like at all is the ghost runner rule. All the rest of the rules have greatly improved the game - with the ban on the shift being the best rule change I can think of.
It's unfair to the pitcher who "inherits" the runner. The chances are good that he will suffer a loss because of a runner that he didn't face in the first place.
Five o'Ckock lightening referred to the NY Yankees winning games in the 8th inning at home which happened around 5 O'CLOCK
Another rule not mentioned but that had an impact was lowering the height of the pitcher's mound in 1968.
Yes, that's right - apologies for forgetting that one!
Washington was the first to officially brand their franchise with a nickname in 1905 as the Nationals. The name Senators was so popular from past teams it never really left or was replaced by the Nationals name with fans.
The sports draft is the only way to field a quality team outside of the most major of markets. Otherwise, there would just be a line out the door in New York, and the other major markets and any other city's team would just get pummeled until they folded.
The draft exists cause salaries are based off of what you did or are expected to do at a professional level; so 17-24 year olds (depending on the leagues) who have 0 pro experience and play against guys who by in large will never have any are easy to exploit with that method.
Even today international signings in the MLB kinda show that unless you have legitimate professional experience (Shohei, Imanaga, Lee, Yamamoto), you're probably not breaking any banks.
Now with the draft at least player associations can hypothetically say "this position historically does x, which is a value of y, so the contract would fairly be z".
Not to mention just the basic greed of ownerships, if they were able to limit Boras in this offseason, imagine what they could do to a kid who's got some random lawyer (lets not forget what plenty of top agents are educated as) representing him? That's just asking for trouble
What?? The forward pass was illegal in hockey??
Yep - it was illegal until 1929.

There was also no icing rule I believe until the late 30s . Prior to that I read about how teams would send the puck to the other end of the rink 50 plus times a game
Brooklyn Robins were named after their manager Wilbert Robinson.
We have had the universal DH for a couple of years now. I can understand a longing for “the good ol’ days,” but does anyone truly yearn to see pitchers hit?
Apparently some people want to see Ohtani hit, lol.
It's a good question, though - and this is an issue that has been around for a century now.
I'm opposed to it more on principle than anything else. This goes back to the idea that all 9 men on the team must play both offense and defense.
That used to be a basic feature of all sports. However, as unlimited substitution rules have come into vogue, sports like American football have become more focused on specialization than general athletic skills. You see a lot of that in baseball as well - especially in the bullpen.
The real interesting thing is that there used to be a limit on substitutions in baseball. As recently as 1890, teams could not use more than one substitute per game, unless somebody got hurt.
I wonder if the same could be said the other way around. Would Ruth and Cobb, among others from yesterday's game, recognize today's game? I have no doubt that on a very superficial level they would. However, the observation is banal.. I would love to see Cobb's expression as he watches a potential double play fall apart because the runner going to second either avoids the throw or moves away from the baseline to avoid interfering with the play.
Christy was dominant because he was great
All the pitchers in Baseball worked in those conditions.
How many had Mathewson's record?
It's like saying Chuck Klein was helped by the Baker Bowl and Hack Wilson by Wrigley. While true, how many batters who played in those parks in that era had similar results?
Still don't think either are Hall worthy, but that's just me. I don't have a vote and I can live with it.
I never liked the DH.
I never liked pitchers making outs. Or the wasting of better players in double switch which effectively made the pitchers spot a multi DH role.
When you played the game you understood why the rule was implemented. Bht it sucks anyway.
