Curling, cats, and crimes. And occasional baseball. (Also, baseball crimes.) Living in Chicago with @pulhitzherprize.bsky.social. Never quite sure which century I’m in. https://jacobpomrenke.com
A great find … and the origins of a wonderful tradition!

A blast from the past: "Late in the fall of 1983 ... Thorn came across an old scrapbook containing the series of 35 articles on Providence's major league baseball history [and] proposed that the Society reprint the articles in booklet form for distribution [at its] 1984 annual convention."

You will likely see it reported that Morehead's no-no was the last one thrown at Fenway until Derek Lowe in 2002.
As a faithful reader of the SABR Games Project, you will be the first on your block to know that that's nonsense:

I’m so sorry. Always enjoyed your curling stories and videos with her.

Sometimes the little ones like to keep getting their ass kicked … cats gonna cat.

My school in Hall Co. had a decent percentage of Catholics (including Latino and Vietnamese Catholics.) But only a handful of Jewish students, at least that I can recall.
