This is the box score from the first time the Mariners played the Blue Jays, on May 9, 1977.

So many fun names. Ruppert Jones! Doug Ault! Otto Velez!

And just like that, the ‘77 expansion franchises will face off tonight in Game 7 for the AL pennant.

Things got so dire that J.T. Snow started praying that he would wake up in the morning. Great story from @susanslusser.bsky.social about a Giants fan favorite

Thank you to J.T. and Gina Snow for letting me tell their harrowing story: J.T. Snow played through pain in silence. After life-saving surgery, he’s ready to share www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

J.T. Snow played through pain in silence. After life-saving surgery, he’s ready to share

Early in his career, San Francisco Giants first baseman J.T. Snow learned he had ulcerative colitis. Years later, it nearly killed him. Now he shares his recovery with a message of hope.

Early picks like Moody, Cade York and Roberto Aguayo went bust, and drafted kickers have been outperformed by undrafted ones since 2000.

Christian Yelich used a bat honoring the late Bob Uecker in Friday’s win over the Reds. He had 4 hits, 2 HR and 5 RBI. You can see “Rawlings” and Manfred’s signature where he hit his first homer.
