2011/07/26 Pirates fall in 19th YouTube video by MLBGlobal11

This 2011 Pirates-Braves call tops it, I think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf9h...

Road not taken, 1977.

(Metric conversions don't appear in either the 1976 or 1978 Washington media guides.)

One wonders how the 1941 Lions cartoonist knew Clem Crabtree was the most ticklish player on the team.

The Division I average seems to be about 5 walks per 9 innings.

Coppin State pitchers have thrown 246 innings this year and have walked 275 batters and hit 73 others.

The NFL threw out all ties in the standings through the 1971 season, leading to weirdness like the 7-3-3 Steelers having a chance to overtake the 10-3 Giants in the last week of the 1963 season.

For major college football, 4.

The 1932 Chicago Bears had 6.

Other teams with 4 ties in a season:
1930 BYU (5-2-4)
1933 Centenary (8-0-4)
1906 Colorado (2-3-4)
1902 Furman (4-3-4)
1923 Georgia Tech (3-2-4)
1933 Minnesota (4-0-4)
1924 SMU (5-1-4)
1929 SMU (6-0-4)
1938 VMI (6-1-4)
1935 Virginia (1-5-4)

The Commandments apparently were written in 1897 by a University of Utah student named Isaac Russell (writing under the name Ike Hardscrabble). Russell later moved east and became a muckraker.

I haven't checked the other 21, but I'm almost positive the January 2 game against the Clippers was not.

Bibby's 2001-02 Kings played 22 games not (originally scheduled to be) televised in Sacramento, according to that year's Kings media guide.

Last undefeated teams in college basketball This season was the first time there were no undefeated schools on New Year’s Day, when Arizona State, TCU, and Villanova all lost.

This is not the first time in NFL history that a trade involving a first-round pick has been voided for a failed physical.

Technically his son, but yes. It's part of the chain of events that led to the Krafts owning the team.

Something similar happened with the Jacksons' Victory Tour in 1984 - the Foxboro Board of Selectmen denied them permits for two concerts due to traffic and security concerns.

Glove technology has gotten a lot better too.

Southwest Texas State Teachers College publications, 1928.

Attendance in the NFL was generally down that Sunday (though nothing like in Buffalo) due to World Series Game 5 being played at 4 pm Eastern that afternoon.

Coming later this offseason:

Just 5 years, 2012-2016.

He'd just have to construct one of these, but for football (World Series pitch-by-pitch via telegraph would be a thing in the upcoming decades).
