    Doc Powers's stats suggest he was really bad compared to his peers. His WAR was negative and his OPS+ was 50. An OPS+ stat is calculated that 100 is average and the further from that the worse/better you are. Effectively meaning he was 50% worse at batting than the average player in his era

    The molasses flood gets even more fucked up. The company knew something was wrong with the tank because everyone had been complaining about it, but rather than stop to see what was causing the problem, THEY ORDERED MORE MOLASSES. They also knew the tank was fucked up to begin with because at some point during it's construction, the supplies became delayed, but they'd already ordered molasses and needed the tank to be finished, so they super rushed the damn thing. The entire event could have been avoided if they had simply stopped and inspected the tank when people complained. Hell, even if they didn't inspect it and just stopped ordering molasses, the flood wouldn't have been nearly as bad as it was. They were entirely at blame for the event.

    My favorite death of the 20th century that isn’t on Wikipedia is the death of Al Bowlly. During an air raid in london during ww2, he was woken up by a sound outside. As he went to check it, his front door was blown off its hinges by a bomb and the door crashed into him, killing him instantly. Probably the most looney tunes death that isn’t on the list. Well, that and the telephone line that blew people up by accident.

    22:51 baseball guy here. Doc powers was in fact not all that surgical on the baseball field either. Just going over simple stuff like WAR, BA, OBP, and OPS+
    WAR: this means Wins Above Replacement. Docs was -2.8 which in simple terms means his team LOST 3 more games by letting him play than having someone else play for him.
    BA: BA is batting average. Average in 1909 was around .250 meaning you got a hit in 25% of your at bats. Docs batting average was .216 which is not very good but not atrociously terrible.
    OBP: OBP means On Base Percentage which seems pretty self explanatory but it just means how often do your plate appearances result in you being on base. Average in 1909 was around .300 meaning at the end of your plate appearance yiu were on base around 30% of the time. Docs was .248, this is not great.
    OPS+: OPS+ is OPB+SLG but accounts for a players playing era, field dimensions, and a bunch of other factors so that all players in every era can be compared to each other. The average for OPS+ is 100. Docs was 50. This means he was 50% LESS effective than an average hitter.
    After doing some digging i noticed that his 50 OPS+ was being CARRIED by his best season which he had a OPS+ of 104, meaning that year he was 4% better than the average hitter. After that season his hitting took a nose dive. Out of the 10 remaining seasons in his career, 5 had an OPS+ in the single digits and in 1905 he had an OPS+ of -4... this is the LOWEST ive ever seen. This meant that in 1905 his team was better off picking a random person in the stands and it being HELEN FUCKING KELLER than Doc Powers. This means that in 1905 he wouldve been more productive if he just never swung the bat because of how bad of a hitter he was.

    Tangentially related to the Rasputin thing, Felix Yusupov was a renowned crossdresser and once asked Rasputin to cure him of his gay, Rasputin allegedly tried to hit on him in response and this pissed him off SO MUCH Yusupov joined in on the assassination. And as other aside, Yusupov claimed that the British monarch Edward 7th or whichever number he had, tried to hit on him while in drag (according to him)

    Baseball nerd here, Doc Powers sucked. I mean rest in peace, he might have been a great guy, but he was pretty bad at baseball.
    It's kind of hard to directly compare most stats because the game has changed so much over the years. For example pitchers used to be allowed to put anything on the ball to make it harder to hit so batting averages were low back then, and many early era parks had massive outfields which made homeruns extremely rare, but WAR (wins above replacement) is a stat that accounts for some of that because the average is always 0 and his WAR was -2.8 so he was well below average.

    • @RustyWalrusHole

      What is the range on WAR? like if you lose every game of your career, what is the minimum value it can reach/what is the lowest WAR a player has achieved (and I guess highest too). Basically, is -2 a "yeah its below average but not by much" or is it "the only guy worse than him got a WAR of -3"?

    He heated it up just a bit too much…

    I’ve been waiting for you to mention the Boston Molasses Flood tbh, but you missed a few details.
    The tank that exploded held 2.3 million gallons of boiling hot molasses. It flows like an actual liquid at high temperatures, so it was easier to send through pipes and machinery. That means that it flowed through the streets like water, and gave everyone severe burns. The first responders that went in to rescue people were getting burns and falling in because they didn’t expect it to be that hot. The first responders needed other first responders to help them out of the molasses. The amount of injuries caused by this is staggering compared to other floods
    They did eventually clear out all of the molasses from the area, but the streets of Boston will still smell like molasses on a hot summer day

    So I did research (very lightly) rasputin’s body, and I found a website called wildbluepress, which apparently shows a number of police photographs of his murder, like the location he was murdered and where they found his body, which was apparently dumped in the river after being tied at the hands which had snapped. There were 3 apparent bullet wounds, one through the head of course but one through the front of his chest that went out the back, and one in the lower back closer, also bear that one was apparently a slash wound. So I guess at one point he was surrounded by his attackers as one seemed to cut and shoot him in the back, they then dragged and dumped him into the river. So maybe that initial theory was more accurate than was thought

    Ezekiel 23:20 NIV "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses". Thanks Huggbees! For anyone curious, the context is that it is an allegory to Judah and it's unfaithfulness to God's covenant, and instead prostituting itself into alliances with pagans.

      Damn the Bible out here comparing forming alliances with (non-Christian people) to slutting over horse cock. You can't make that shit up.

    I am really surprised he did not mention Vic morrows that he got obliterated by a helicopter while filming the twilight zone movie not to mention he was carrying two children
    There is footage of him getting shredded

    Y’know, I’m glad huggbees doesn’t joke about George Millet’s death (kind of) and also calls the unwanted kisses a love crime, and gross, because that’s exactly what it is, cuz like there’s so many male SA victims that are treated like a joke, and are made fun of
    Edit: nvm he does sort of glorify it
