So he'll also be the first player to appear at the plate, and catch behind the plate during the same at bat. What a weird and fascinating bit of history we're witnessing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 That's going to be one F'd up box score. I've always thought that suspended games were weird because of teams having different players at the time of resumption, but hadn't even considered this. I kinda think there should be a rule about it - just like how if you're traded to your opposition in the middle of a "normal" game, you can't simply put on your new uniform and play for them in the middle of the game. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

If there was a rule, I would say it state that you use the same roster as it was when the game was suspended (which I think is the rule for the most part). Any player that was on the active roster at the time of suspension of play, but is no longer (whether traded or on the IL/suspended) and was not removed from the original game, can only be replaced by anybody on the current 40-man roster who was on the 40-man roster at the time of the original game. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Amusingly enough, somehow, someway, this has happened in the NBA well before it ever happened in the majors, despite the practice of suspended games being far more common in the latter. The Nets protested a ref hitting one of their players and their coach with three technicals each during a game against the Sixers, and the teams would replay most of that game's second half later that season. In between, they traded a few players between each other, one of whom, Eric Money, had started for the Nets in the original game and would also score for the Sixers in the makeup game, making him the only player to score for both teams in the same NBA game. Another player was the only man to get a DNP for both teams in the same game. Edit: because I'm dumb, this happened in the 1978-79 season...the game started in November of that season and the makeup half was in March. 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayJ12 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 The US nominated six (6!) cities to host the 1956 Summer Olympics - Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. None of them received more than 5 votes. The US has had some random cities/locations be in the running to host the Olympics - Yosemite (1932 winter), Colorado Springs (1956 winter), Cleveland (1916 and 1920 summer), Baltimore (1948 summer), and Duluth (1932 winter).

DCarp1231 Posted Monday at 12:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:34 PM There have only been two instances of an NFL team scoring 3 TDs, allowing 0 TDs, and still losing. • 1989, Rams lost to the Vikings 23-21 (7 FGs 1 Safety) • Yesterday, Giants lost to the Commanders 21-18 (7 FGs) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Salt Lake City the winter games were held at much smaller venues. Lillehammer was pretty much the last true small town Winter Games. Lake Placid and Squaw Valley both hosted games in California in the Sierras. Because back then the host was where the skiing usually took place. Now it's at a major city with huge infrastructure and the skiing events are held far away from the city. Such as Salt Lake and Park City, while Vancouver and Whistler was 75mi apart. The Summer Games already spread things out. Paris just hosted surfboarding 9,765 miles away from Paris. It's making it much harder for fans who want to take in a lot of different events to go to the Olympics to do just that. Instead the focus becomes just one particular sport. For those that do want to attend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter # 1 and I went to France this year for the Olympics. Came in and out of France via Paris (where we did a lot of sightseeing), but our ONE ticketed event was in Marseille to see USA women in soccer vs. Germany. Wasn't bad-- took the TGV down to Marseille which was fast as hell and way cool. While down on the Cote d'Azur we spent a lot of time in the Med, which is an UNBELIEVABLY beautiful cobalt blue: Even got to see some bonus Olympic events-- while we were on a boat ride in Marseille we passed Olympic sailing events (skiff class; women in the morning, men in the afternoon). And when we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, we looked down and could see a Beach Volleyball match going on. 3 Quote It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I put Squaw Valley by itself and then added Lake Placid and didn't think to change the states listed. As for your trip at least you had a reasonable ride to get to the event. And that water does look great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando City was technically founded as a new club (as happens in MLS) but the USL Orlando City started in Austin as the Aztex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
