Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Monday, October 15, 2018Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 10-15-2018Harrisburg Telegraph, October 15, 1918:
Tommy Bond spent the 1875 season pitching for the Hartford Dark Blues alongside a guy named Candy Cummings. There’s some dispute about whether Cummings invented the pitch, but it’s clear that the ‘75 Dark Blues had a pitching staff made up entirely of gay deceivers. Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee)

The reboot, Palmer and Harder, wasn't as good.
Read this as penetrated.
Hard enough
Too bad Doug Fister is on the Feb 4 Birthday Team.
Dang furinurs.
Four years earlier I watched the BC/Miami football game and turned off the set 30 seconds before Flutie's Hail Mary. So the Gibson home run was easily the most amazing sporting event I ever watched on TV in real time.*
* My father's parents bought their first television in the fall of 1951, and that October 3rd the workmen installed the aerial. My dad came home from parochial school that afternoon and turned on the set. Which means that the very first TV sports event my dad watched from the comfort of his living room was the Bobby Thomson home run. Two-thirds of a century (and by my quick calculations, 25,000 hours of TV sports viewing) later, I don't think he's seen anything more dramatic.
I was in the Sears store in Schenectady NY, getting a car battery or some such and that game was on the TV they had hanging up overhead. That was definitely more interesting than the errand I was on.
