On This Day

On This Day…

⚾️ Cy Young Hangs It Up

Where they award comes from! The great Cy Young retired on this day in 1912, he had a win-loss record of 511-315!

It was a different time, yes, but 511 wins is insanity. The great Cy Young hung it up with the most wins in MLB history. A record that will never be touched!

Today’s Trivia

🧠 Test your sports knowledge…

Yesterday’s Trivia Answer: A. Indiana Hoosiers! There have been teams that have gone undefeated in the regular-season, but the last to win everything all the way through March was the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers under Bob Knight. They went 32-0 and defeated Michigan in the National Championship!

Saturday Thought Bubble

😀 Feel-Good Saturday! Zach Eflin!

Just a quick serotonin boost for you on this Saturday! Baltimore Orioles Zach Eflin just got the nod to be the Orioles Opening Day starter! How he found out was great!

The part we don’t think about when it comes to professional athletes is the travel, the being away from your family, sure, it’s easy to say “well is you’re making that much money it’s ok to be away from your family”. Yeah I get it, but Spring Training for a month, and then long road trips throughout the season, it isn’t easy.

Some splashes of home never hurt.

Here’s how Zach Eflin found out he was going to be the Opening Day Starter! Worth the watch!
