Babe Ruth’s top salary was $80,000 (in 1930 and 1931). Adjusted for inflation, that’s the equivalent of a little more than $1.1 million today
During World War II, the U.S. military designed a grenade to be the size and weight of a baseball, since “any young American man should be able to properly throw it.”
Bank robber John Dillinger was once a professional second baseman, although he never made it to the major leagues.
“Germany” Schaefer stole first base on Aug. 4, 1911. he first stole second base, then ran back to first, then got caught in a rundown while trying to steal second again, his original intention so that his teammate on third could run for home.
The Marlins have won two world series titles but no division titles...Wild Card only...as Mel Allen would say, "How about that"
