I’ll tell you what, we’re having an earthqua—”
On this day, October 17, 1989, a massive 6.9 earthquake struck San Francisco during the live broadcast of the World Series.
Does anyone remember watching this unfold live?
Incredible footage of announcers Al Michaels and Tim McCarver maintaining their composure, unsure if they were even still on the air.
The series, played between Bay Area rivals Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants, would forever be remembered as the “Earthquake Series.
As a Brewer in the 1982 World Series, Paul Molitor set a World Series single-game record with 5 hits in Game 1.
Game 6, 1965 World Series. Twins vs Dodgers. The great Vin Scully on the call. youtu.be/GHkA48_X8bY?is=UoGt…
If the Yankees lose this ball game and the series, that guy that interfered with that ball better move out of New York.

Flashback to Mary Moriarty insisting there are no Somali gangs. “Those are simply lies. It is not true.” 👇

The perfect ending for Justin Verlander.
His daughter runs out to the mound and he walks off with his family.
Feels like a movie.
The first day of the operation finished with 740 evacuees reaching Bari. In the pics of my dad’s attached, you can see some of the rescued men, now free, getting off a B-17. The GREATEST generation ever.
all from the 5th Bomb Wing, flew from their bases in Italy to Popești-Leordeni in four waves, returning fully loaded with POWs. Fighter cover was provided by P-38 Lightnings of the 1st, 14th, and 82nd Fighter Groups
56 years ago tonight, I was there as a 13 year old kid with my dad. I still remember seeing Harmon Killebrew and Carl Yastrzemski out walking around the parking lot during the evacuation delay. Hero’s, walking among us!

“Hey, kid, it’s getting kind of late. I’m going to need a cocktail pretty soon. Hit one out of here, will you?” — #MNTwins coach Johnny Podres to 21-year-old Kent Hrbek making his MLB debut 45 years ago tonight

On this date in 1981, Kent Hrbek was batting .379 with 27 home runs and 111 RBI at Class A Visalia.
He made his major league debut at Yankee Stadium the next day, playing the position Lou Gehrig had played at Yankee Stadium for so many years. He delivered a game-tying RBI in the fifth and hit a game-winning home run off George Frazier in the 12th.
The 21-year-old's call up straight from Class A meant he'd be getting home to Minnesota sooner than expected, where his dad had recently been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease.

Harmon Killebrew delivered one of the all-time great lines from a Hall of Fame induction speech on this date in 1984: "We're not raising grass here; we're raising boys."
It took the writers four frickin' ballots to elect Harmon, despite trailing only Babe Ruth on the AL HR list.
