and take 3 2 lead in the world series the a s won that world series in 7 i miss the good old days referring to 1973 as the good old days is a bit of a stretch but back then the world series meant something the teams played within their own division not interleague so when it came time for the playoffs the teams in each division earned the right to represent their region eventually the pennant and a trip to the world series the american league vs the national league the world series truly represented the best of each league back then on june 12 1997 interleague play was introduced the first mlb interleague game took place between the texas rangers and the san francisco giants in arlington texas another change in major league baseball was the addition of the designated hitter it was first adopted by the american league in 1973 on a trial basis for three years 50 years later we re still stuck with it the national league didn t adopt it until 2022 making it universal in mlb national league fans all knew it was coming but it didn t make it more palatable see previous post on dh december 10 2012 refers to 1972 so much has happened in the past 50 years the giants won not only one or two but three world series and they ll win again in the meantime let s support our san francisco giants and all of our major league baseball teams and be thankful for the entertainment they bring us

hitter interleague play mets mlb niner fans niners oakland a s san francisco giants the umpire toughest job in baseball posted on october 3 2023 leave a comment note this is a repost of a blog written back in 2010 but sentiment s the same i couldn t see well enough to play when i was a boy so they gave me a special job they made me an umpire president of the united states harry s truman as a player i probably would have said the toughest position in baseball is catcher i wasn t particularly afraid of the ball but when you ve been beaned a couple times and missed a ball that was impossible to catch anyhow and the other team scores you realize even when things are going right they can still go really really wrong but looking at this as a spectator the toughest job has to be without a doubt the lowly umpire my first exposure to this was at age 10 watching my dad at my brother s games giving the ump the going over beer in hand standing up yelling obscenities and setting a stellar example for a couple of kids learning by example totally mortifying so years later when i became the parent in the stands cheering my heart out in support of my little darlings at t ball i was very cognizant of these memories imagine my shock and humiliation when i was thrown out of a t ball game for you guessed it yelling at the umpire the embarrassment is still with me so all of these memories came flooding back as i watched a replay of a cleveland detroit infamous tag at first the missed call denied the young pitcher the rarest of rare perfect game this mornings sports headlines would have been all about ken griffey jr s retirement had this incident not occurred well maybe not a perfect game for sure demands a certain amount of headlines but no matter history has been made and it won t be changed i feel for the tiger fans i hope the commissioner s going to step in and make things right and he should it s the right thing to do but please please don t bring in the instant replay for crying out loud this is baseball what really strikes me about this scenario is the candid manner in which the umpire immediately spoke up about the matter on seeing the replay but then what else could he have done now s the time we probably should give this guy a name he has after all been a major league umpire for 22 years without any well almost any controversy but i didn t really want to talk about the umpire or the kid who threw the unrealized perfect game or instant replay this story s about the detroit tiger fans what would baseball or any sport for that matter be without the fans today when the same players same umpire s and the same fans sat for another round of cleveland detroit baseball the umpire jim joyce was introduced among a smattering of boos it s expected always happens not a surprise but what was a surprise was the standing ovation and cheers that went up for this guy i m emotional just writing about it and so was he he had to wear sunglasses to hide the tears for a press conference later i ll bet jim joyce didn t get two hours sleep last night as much as we love to razz the umps they have the reputation of being the most honest trustworthy bunch of guys a little nearsighted at times but never ever do we believe they make a bad call on purpose and for all those split second how did they do it johnny on the spot calls they get no special recognition it s their job and they love it and they do it better than anyone detroit tiger fans know this they know the umpire has the toughest job in baseball so they cut him a little slack and on they go to the next game that s what s so great about baseball the detroit tiger fans a real class act representing the best of baseball back in 2010 the toughest call an umpire has to make it s having to throw a guy out of the game after you blew the hell out of the play american league umpire bill kinnamon like loading leave a comment posted in a1 baseball general detroit tigers tagged baseball cleveland indians

padres game giants pitcher alex wood was pitching against jurickson profar in the 4th inning profar hit the ball and as alex wood was turning away from the pitch with his mitt still behind his back he caught the ball probably a better description would be the ball accidentally fell into his mitt as he was returning to the pitcher s mound no kidding it happened so fast i had to rewind it several

talking about a win though we did and i am but this is about the san francisco 49ers and the new york giants game on thursday night football evidently this particular game had a few brawls going but these were in the stands not on the field and involved two ladies throwing blows at each other who were eventually pulled apart when a beer drinking man fan pulled one by the hair and yanked her down the stairs seriously according to the mercury news there were a lot of fan fights going on during that game what s this got to do with baseball you ask on april 2 2011 a local santa cruz fellow was the victim of a vicious crime while attending a giants dodger game in los angeles it was a heartbreaking story https garlicfriesandbaseball wordpress com 2011 04 01 a dodger fan and received national attention rightfully so the end result being brain damage and disability to the victim and 8 and 4 year prison sentences to the perpetrators i guess the compelling reason i felt so strongly about writing on the subject relates to a passion for sports and also for politics and the same question what s being done about it an obvious answer for the sports mania might be to stop selling booze at the games but you know that s not going to happen maybe harsher sentences for the perpetrators or how about banishing them from future games if you have an idea you can always write it up and send it to the powers that be at the nfl or the mlb politics not so much it just seems to go on and on with the best of intentions sometimes you win sometimes you lose and sometimes it rains bull durham it seems to be a game that can t be won even when you win if you have an idea you can always write it up and send it to your congressional representative who may or may not be there it depends on whether

mercury news sports sports injuries enough already please posted on september 15 2023 2 comments earlier this week i watched the giants vs the rockies game on espn i subscribe to direct tv s regional sports channel so i can watch mike krukow and duane kuiper the giants regular announcers and the best in the business truly but that day i was at the mercy of espn these are the guys that mic up certain players in the field while they re actually playing and chat about nothing really i always worry someone s gonna get beaned or worse when we re not listening to the guys in the outfield chatting about nothing we have to endure the two in the broadcast booth who are also chatting about nothing and a bit irritating as they re doing that especially when there s action at the same time on the field we ended up winning that game which put us back in contention for the playoffs sort of espn s headline promo for this game was mic d up nolan jones joins espn s sunday night baseball telecast for an in game conversation during tonight s colorado rockies vs san francisco giants broadcast it s frustrating when your favorite player comes up to bat and the camera and sound is focused on the opposition in the field who s chatting with someone in the booth about nothing really and then your favorite player gets a double and the mic d up player huffs and puffs to get the ball still mic d up and all the attention is focused on the fielder that didn t actually happen but it could have so after the game i turned to social media to see the reaction of giants fans and i guess we re all peas in a pod because they were expressing themselves exactly the same way i d been feeling throughout the entire game here s some examples actual quotes from the fans can we just watch the game terrible can we just watch what s going on in a game how do we contact espn to shut up we re trying to watch the game please these announcers suck keep the cameras on the game and shut up i don t know which is worst espn or fox ugh so painful too much talking how much do you pay for a channel asking for a friend i have audio muted listening to knbr final score please we are stuck with a bunch of old wannabees seriously i shut if off and turned on the radio knbr totally agree this is ridiculous these guys are just awful remember when local sports were free really is this the best you can do and these were just from one venue there was a lot more but you get the general idea save the interviews for after the game and no 15 was right i do remember when local sports were free back in the

updating the baseball reliquary posted on september 10 2023 leave a comment i ve spent the past few days researching a blog i wrote back in 2014 about the baseball reliquary in whittier california i ve always loved the idea of it and was interested in its survival whether it made it or not the institution not the blog to tell you the truth when i wrote that particular piece i was a bit concerned as i d included a rather risque photo and a kinda sorta irreligious quote i mean you know reliquary defined is about religious stuff but i posted it anyway and hoped for the best it had to do with annie savoy s now famous church of baseball in the movie bull durham come to find out the man who wrote the screenplay ron shelton also produced and directed bull durham and get this he s also a member of the advisory board for the baseball reliquary who knew whew it made me feel at least a bit vindicated for my sort of religious transgression i mean he did it first check it out online the
