Pittsburgh Gazette Times, October 23, 1912: ...formal notice has been served on Roger Bresnahan, manager of the St. Louis National League team, that his contract has been terminated by the club management, although it still has four years to run. Bresnahan said he would take every means to force the club management to live up to the contract.
...
[Cardinals owner Helene Britton:] “I don’t want anything printed about that. It is terrible that it has got out…I will not deny it. But I can’t see how it got out. I understand that no one of us was to say anything about it.”
The Bresnahan-Britton relationship had been irreparably damaged in the summer of 1912, when the owner blocked a trade that would have sent Miller Huggins to Cincinnati. The next manager of the Cardinals was…Miller Huggins. Britton and Bresnahan eventually agreed upon a $20,000 buyout of the ex-manager’s contract.

And Morris was just terrible. Had absolutely nothing to say, nothing to add to the discussion. He deserves to get kicked out of the Hall of Fame just for that.
Very close, but for me, it's the day after the World Series ends. Because after that, it's over. Done. Finished. No more baseball. And even though I doubt I'll watch any of the World Series this year, when it's over, I'll still be reminded that there's no more baseball, and a long, cold winter will be staring me in the face.
The day after the all-star game (this year, two days). Either that or the frustrating day after Opening Day when your team is off. You wait five months for your team to get back on the field, and then, Bam, Off Day.
For the most part, I don't really consider the time between the end of October and the start of April to be sports-watching days.
Gotta think it's the only birthday group with three different guys who started Game Seven of the World Series (well, Game Eight technically for Bedient).
They seem to run ex-players through ESPN like crazy. I don't know if they think it's the only way to find out how good they are going to be, or if they think more people will tune in to hope to catch one of their favorite guys. Or maybe no one is willing to spend more than a few days a month in Bristol, except John Kruk.
