(1895) Delahantytown - Ed Delahanty

Well shit. Baseball season is over.

Assuming groundout includes double plays

For those who joined thr @twostrikenoise.bsky.social video today, there's an old bio of Konstanty out there.

Yep. Most of the '93 games are on there. I watch a lot of them ever offseason.

Sixers win. Clap your hands.

Phillies star Bryce Harper ‘hurt’ by trade speculation after Dave Dombrowski’s comments “I have given my all to Philly from the start,” Harper told The Athletic. “Now there is trade talk? I made every effort to avoid this."

Bryce Harper has some thoughts on his mind: www.nytimes.com/athletic/674...

This goes hard

I don't think a book is something his fans and followers will truly appreciate.

This would be cool if the games were played in Hartford and Quebec. Otherwise, this is a stolen valor money grab. Neither fanbase supported the Quebec Nordiques or Hartford Whalers when they were in the NHL.

Man, my heart goes out to Seattle.

Slow Saturday means it's time to start sleeving some cards.

The night Rick Wise threw a no hitter, he hit two home runs. Three strikeouts. And that was just a random day in June.

Unreal night by Ohtani.

Only thing that comes close is Rick Wise's 2 HR night when he tossed a no hitter.

But that wasn't for a pennant.

Yawning gap between the two

Ed's last address was at 1240 Palmer St., which was familiar. Why? Because Reach's factory was at Tulip and Palmer Streets. They are within walking distance.

I decided to dive into Ed Sixsmith a little. In the 1900 Census, he was listed as a BASEBALL STITCHER! Now, how cool was that. Did he work at Reach's factory on Tulip St?!
