Today in Baseball History:
- 1953 - Reaffirming its earlier position, the United States Supreme Court rules, 7-2, that baseball is a sport and not a business and therefore not subject to antitrust laws. The ruling is made in a case involving New York Yankees minor leaguer George Toolson, who refused to move from Triple-A to Double-A.
- 1998 - Hall of Fame pitcher Jim "Catfish" Hunter announces that he is suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease. The fatal disease, known medically as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, attacks the nerves in the spinal cord and the brain and leads to a loss of motor skills. Hunter will succumb to the disease less than a year later.
Best of Twitter:
- If you follow the whole thread, it will lead you back to a statistical analysis on pitch framing. This exchange is very interesting though...
Correct. Insofar as the metric is calculated as it is. Don't forget the tracking systems have changed, so that may play a role.

- Speaking of catcher defense...
Sean Murphy (#Athletics) has money catch-and-throw skills and a cannon arm. His 1.93-sec pop made this Steven Duggar SB much closer than it should have been: pic.twitter.com/dAPngudkDg

- More on Hale...
I’ve also confirmed Chip Hale has left A’s for the Nationals. Once A’s made Ryan Christenson bench coach over Hale, losing Hale inevitable.
