Gabby Street was a light-hitting catcher who played in parts of eight major leagues seasons, mostly for the Washington Senators. He was Walter Johnson's primary catcher. He later did some managing and broadcasting. He is best remembered as the first man to catch a baseball dropped from the top of the Washington Monument.
Five players born on this day made their major league debut in 2019: Jesus Luzardo, Travis Demeritte, Trent Thornton, Jack Mayfield, and Brian Moran. I don't know that that's a record, but I don't know that it isn't, either.
2019 Game 162: Fountains vs Lakes
Sorry for the half-baked game log, I’m doing it from my phone in Duluth. I’ve been a bit distraught about the injury to Arraez, but it sounds like maybe the ankle can be ready by Friday. One of the perks of winning the division, extra time to recover and prepare. I don’t know who is pitching today, it’s a meaningless game, and my team has done way more than I expected of them back in March. Now, if they can just do that in the playoffs. Play ball!
September 29, 2019: Da Bears
I wore my Vikings hat yesterday, and strangely I got more cheers than boos.
Also, hey, last game of the regular season.

Dave Orr is considered the greatest nineteenth century slugger of all. His career was cut short when he suffered a stroke in 1890 at the age of 31.
Outfielder Warren Cromartie was drafted by the Twins in the third round of the January Secondary draft in 1972, but did not sign.

Penultimate Game 2019: twins @ royals
In "modern" (1901-2019) major history, there have now been 128 teams that have won 100 games.
The 2019 Minnesota twins are one of those teams. That is extremely cool.
This game means practically nothing, but there's no reason our guys can't add another one. Stashak is the opener, and Rocco mentioned that he'll be trying to get late game pitchers in play.
Go Twins!!
Half-Baked Hall: 1984
Stan Musial breezes in with 100% of the vote.
Early Wynn gets 31% but drops off. Gil Hodges pulls down one vote. Frankie Frisch buddy Red Schoendeinst deservedly gets shut out.
