Cool baseball site

You may have noticed that I'm a sports fan, and I just found a cool web site. The Baseball-Reference has a page on the 1927 Yankees, arguably the greatest baseball team of all time. That team was famous for Murderers Row, with Ruth, Gehrig and that bunch.

Then there's the page for the 1969 Orioles, a great team reviled for losing to the Mets in the World Series. The O's won 109 games that year and supposedly lost to an inferior team. I believe the Mets won 100 games in the regular season that year.


I don't have the heart to look up the 2010 Orioles. I couldn't stomach the anguish.

Super-fastball

IF YOU'RE A BASEBALL FAN, you might check out the story of a Cincinnati Reds pitcher setting a record for the fastest pitch in a game, 105, Aroldis Chapman threw 25 pitches against the Padres, and all of them were faster than 100 mph. Amazing.

Here's the video.
