    Milwaukee Sentinel, June 19, 1913:

    As the indirect result of being hit in the head by a pitched ball during a game years ago, Earl Davenport, who played with Pittsburg in the National League in 1892, Wednesday was sentenced to serve three years in San Quentin prison for passing fictitious checks.

    Before he was sentenced, Davenport told Judge Willis that he had been irresponsible ever since he was “beaned” during a baseball game. He asked the court to arrange for an operation on his skull.

    He ...

    Not a ton of offense on today's Birthday Team, but they've got a pretty good ace starter. They've just gotta make sure nobody leaves Burke hanging when he tries to give them a high five.

    As noted at THT, today also marks the 10th anniversary of a six-player trade between the Marlins and Rockies. Can you remember who any of the players involved were before clicking on the link?

    I know Charles Johnson went to Colorado around then.

    Did the Marlins-Rockies trade somehow involve Mike Hampton even though he never ended up pitching for the Marlins? I have some vague recollection that the trade that landed him on the Braves(?) involved some team that he never played for paying part of his salary.

    That was the Marlins. I think that Hampton contract (8 Years, $121 million) doesn't get enough credit as one of the worst ever. For the eight years of the deal, he pitched less than 900 innings with a 4.81 ERA, won just 56 games and missed all of the 2006 and 2007 seasons. That's $135,751 per IP. Brutal.

    Wasn't Juan Pierre in that trade too?

    Looking up some info on the French Union Baseball league ...
    this seems like a pretty neat book.

    "As late as 1913 there was a team based in the wealthy Paris suburb of Vesinet called Spalding A.C."

    Comiskey and McGraw took the White Sox and Giants over on an exhibition tour of Europe in 1914, including stops in Paris ... not the best timing, I guess.

    Are you implying that they caused World War I?

    Didn't the Germans get the Schlieffen Plan from hearing how King Kelly ran the bases?

    This makes me a little mad as it now (retroactively) implies that the Jays could have signed Barry Bonds when he was available after 2007. I always assumed it was because they (as a team) decided they didn't want the steroid stink on them, but this pretty much removes that from the equation.

    Collusion!

    I'm surprised Melky could land a 2-year contract. And seems like the Jays have decided they've got a window.
