September 30, 2022: Long Haul
I did what I always try to avoid: start an established/completed TV show with a large collection of episodes. That should take up my viewing time for the next few months.
Happy Birthday–September 30

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.

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.
We would also like to wish a very happy anniversary to freealonzo's parents.

Josh Winder
The final week of games. Most of them against Chicago. Plenty of time to end the season on a high note by beating up on them and finishing second.

My new walking boot is unwieldy, can’t put much weight on it yet. Please, come home safe today, my dear wife, and help take care of these little monsters with me.
