    Toledo News-Bee, May 17, 1913:

    One of the weirdest triple plays ever seen in the American league was staged in the seventh inning of the Nap-Athletic contest Friday at Cleveland. Johnson [sic] opened with a single and took third on Chapman’s double. Olson then drew a single off Barry’s chest. Johnson was sent home by his coacher, Steen, who saw Chapman racing for third. Johnson was run down. Chappie started back to second and found Olson there. Barry tagged Olson and Chapman. Olson was retired, ...

    A crazy catcher, a slap-hitting infield, and a deep pitching staff on today's Birthday Team.

    Here's the latest from Dutch:

    Darren Daulton Enterprises (DDE) is delighted to announce a business partnership with www.NIMAOL.com. The partnership is part of a plan to become the fastest growing website in modern history.


    As opposed to the growth records set by Howtobuildawheel.com back in the earliest days of the internet.

    New article up at THT: 10 who did the most to help their Cooperstown case in 2012. Man, there's got to be a more concise way of titling that. Anyhow, it's a top ten list with 12 people on it - only nine of whom are players.

    Today also marks the 40th anniversary of Steinbrenner buying the Yankees.

    The top of the Birthday League Standings:
    January 5            17   7  .708 ----
January 23           15   8  .652  1.5 
January 12           14   8  .636  2.0 
January 7            13   9  .591  3.0
    News and notes:
    * January 28 catcher Dick Lowe has a hit in all 20 games in which he's appeared. This is frustrating, as Lowe was 1-for-3 in a one game MLB career. He's the only catcher they have, though, so he'll end up playing every day. A limitation of the format, I guess.

    * George Selkirk (January 4) is 19 for his last 38.

    * Otis Nixon (January 9) has 21 steals in 23 games.

    * Brady Anderson (January 18) leads the league with 14.2 RC/27.

    * Brandon "The Vulture" Medders (January 26) leads the league with 5 wins despite having no starts, 12 relief appearances, and a 7.53 ERA.

    I would have thought Laporte had seen enough fowls.

    Wasn't the world supposed to end already according to him?

    In the wake of the Miguel Tejada signing, I was trying to think of guys that retired/went unsigned a whole year late in their career after age 38 or so and then came back.

    Here are some examples. Is that all of them? Tony Fernandez is one omission.

    Sosa took his age 37 season off.

    Fernando Tatis wasn't as old, but had two different gaps in his playing record (I don't know if he was playing anywhere during these hiati).

    Tejada hasn't exactly been out for a year. He had 151 PA for the Orioles' Triple-A team last season before being dumped.

    Out of MLB for a year. I'll accept players that were in the minors, but out of MLB for a full season.

    nimaol.com is a securities lawsuit waiting to happen. I highly recommend the "About Us" page.
