Fun fact about the second Hal Smith. ST.L. catcher who retired abruptly in June 1961 at age 30 when diagnosed with a heart problem.

In 1927, Lou Gherig had 173 RBI. He batted 60 times AFTER Babe Ruth had cleared the bases. Sounds almost impossible. Sure is amazing. Yankees scored 976 runs that year. the next closest MLB team was Detroit with 845, more than 100 fewer runs. The MLB average was 554. Gehrig's astounding 173 RBI bar...

Disturbing stat: in their past 22 games dating back to April 15, the Pirates have not scored in more than 2 innings of any game. 3 times they didn't score at all. 11 times the scored in only 1 inning. 8 times they scored in 2 innings. In those most recent 22 games, they are 6-16. When nearly the ent...
