MLB Off-Topic

Well back like someone else mentioned, it would be nice if games truly were random, then you wouldn’t necessarily know that something spectacular (like Delgado’s four home runs) would happen, if that makes sense.

That being said, I get why they do it that way.

I mean in some instances it makes sense.

Jays fans probably aren't gonna watch some random September game in 2003 with no context in 2020. But it's the Delgado 4HR game so that's a reason to watch. Historic too. Only 4 at bats, all 4 were home runs, 3 of those were lead off home runs! Only AL player to ever do this at home in MLB history, 3rd overall in 100+ years. 2nd oldest ever.

Theres some nice games all around on there. I saw they also have Randy Johnsons perfect game up there, the entire 2005 home run derby, 2000 All star game and others.

I might check out the ASG. Say what you want about steroid era, but 2000 ASG had the big time guys all in this game.

I wonder what's the most star studded ASG ever. I want to see those ones. 97 seems to be one of those.

1999 was electric; Fenway Park, Ted Williams makes an appearance, Pedro strikes out the first 5 hitters at the height of the steroid era. I counted and 10 of the 20 starters (DH plus starting pitchers) are in the HOF while several more SHOULD be except for steroids.

Next week SN is showing Roy Halladays most memorable games as a Blue Jay.

I hope they also show his final game in Toronto, which was as a member of the Phillies.

I'll never forget that Bautista vs Halladay matchup. Fans got the game they wanted. Halladay looked like he always does, but the Jays won.

Random baseball fact I never knew. Michael Jordan played a game at Wrigley Field.

No, I'm not saying I never knew he played baseball. I'm saying I never knew he played games at an actual MLB park.
