50 years ago today, on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 1975, Brewers infielder Kurt Bevacqua, representing the AL, blew an 18 1/4-inch bubble to win the World Series of Bubble Gum Blowing, which was taped for that night's World Series Game 3 pregame show. He beat Phillies catcher Johnny Oates from the NL. (1/2)

Just saying, that play was the kind of thing that happens for teams of destiny. #Brewers

Anyone rooting for a World Series pitting the Seattle Mariners vs. the former Seattle Pilots, your dream is still alive, at least for one more day.

Ooh, another extra-innings runner on 2nd with no outs, and not because Manfred put him there!

It's still early in Seattle, where it's not even 10pm yet.

The self-important Yankees are probably above serving food in a helmet, or some bs like that.

Should be a great series!

Phew! The Cubs avoid a repeat of 1984 by beating the Padres. Next stop: Milwaukee

The two Cubs who took time off during the pennant race to attend Charlie Kirk's political rally memorial single-handedly ended their team's bases-loaded, no-outs opportunity without scoring any further. Cubs take a 2-0 lead into the 3rd.

Seems appropriate since, historically, the Angels tend to play like poo holes - even when they have a generational talent or two on their roster.

Buddy Bailey was one of the winningest managers in MiLB history. His 35-year managing career included one season in the Midwest League; he was skipper of the South Bend Cubs in 2019.

Exorbitant Rosin Violation @jewelsnbinoculars.bsky.social · 23d

R.I.P. to Buddy Bailey, longtime minor-league manager for the Atlanta, Red Sox, and Cubs organizations and a legendary figure in Venezuelan Winter Ball, where he managed Tigres de Aragua for 16 seasons winning six #LVBP Championships and one Caribbean Series.

Buddy Bailey managing the Tigres de Aragua in Venezuela. As a player in affiliated baseball for Atlanta, he reached his peak with six games in AA in 1982 before transitioning to managing, where he managed 36 Minor League seasons and 16 Winter League campaigns in Venezuela. He's likely headed to the Venezuelan Beisbol Hall of Fame.
