Baseball 2024

Shohei Ohtani became the first player in MLB history to get 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.

 

Did it in style too going 6 for 6 with 3 homers, 10 RBIs and 2 stolen bases.

 

Dodges won the game 20-4.

150+ years in this statistically obsessed sport and no one has done this.  Beyond amazing.  BRAVO!!!

Ridiculous figures.

 

He actually took that 50th stolen base home with him!

Guardians clinch the playoffs and should wrap up the AL Central this weekend.  Just a half game back of the NY Cashmans for the best overall record and home field in the AL.  A pleasure to watch them all season, for the way they play and the joy they take in it.  I've watched much more talented Cleveland squads over the years, but none I loved any better.

 

Unbelievable work by Vogt and the coaches to get those kids to this point.  You almost expected the cop outside the locker room to bust in and arrest them for being too young to have cigars and Champagne.

 

They release the playoff tickets to STHs today.  Each whole strip will run $2500 in the view boxes (upper deck, the best moderately priced seats).  Ouch.

You may have commented on this already in the past, but how did you feel about the name change? To me Cleveland will always be the Indians, in much the same way as NFL's Washington will always be the Redskins. I always saw those original names as nothing less than a full respect and appreciation of history.
