Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I’m filing this one under things I never wondered about but am glad I know, because I’m sure that one day it’ll make for some mighty good party trivia. Back in 1883 when things were ever so slightly different than they are in 2015, novelty baseball games were a common and popular thing. Also common …

I just wanted to give an update on our buddy Tim. I don’t think he did very well with his GoFundMe page, but he managed to get the money together, and look at those results. Tim, you rock.
Before I say anything else, I want to make it clear that I’m not trying to discourage anyone from buying the app. If you’re a baseball fan, you absolutely should. $20 for every radio broadcast of every game all season long on all of your devices? It almost feels like theft. I renew mine every …
The completely stupid and counterproductive rioting in Baltimore, while not doing anything to make the cops stop fucking killing people for no reason, is resulting in an oddly historic Major League Baseball moment. for the first time ever at least according to the Baseball Hall of Fame and MLB’s official historian John Thorn, a game …
