I assume the BB-Ref play index can do it, that's the go to for this type of thing.

Ca va bien aller
It probably happened just after the deadball era (assuming we're calling that 1800s-1920). Most of the 20s through 40s have homerun rates/game that are less than half of what we have now, and there were also half as many teams so a full slate was only 8 games.

I ran some numbers and if we assume 1 homerun/game on average, which meshes with that era, the likelihood of having 8 games with no homeruns is 1 in 2980. Roughly estimating 100 days/season having full schedules means it would be likely to happen in 30 seasons. In contrast, this season we have a HR rate of 2.46/game (!!!), and having 15 games with no homeruns is a 1 in 10^16 chance. So if it happened, it very likely wasn't anytime recently, but who knows. You can't predict baseball, Suzyn.

Sort of expecting Newcomb to get a baptism by fire, the knocks on him are makeup as well as command when the makeup slips. He'll be a good rotation arm, but whether he's a #2 or a #4/5 depends on if he can keep control of his poo poo.

He definitely should get every chance to do so though, not like there's too many other MLB-ready options, just loads more rookies. (At least till Medlen makes his way back up.)

I'll take what Newcomb did today any day.

I feel like colleges should teach a class on querying baseball reference (as well as pro-football/basketball reference since they all do the same platform), cause man I feel like I never get enough out of that site.

Also, I was in Seattle's Chinatown last night. So many Jays fans :sigh:

the size of Judge's silhouette compared to the arc measurement makes me think he's about 30ft tall.

That's....that's not true. Is it?

In 9 hours I will be leaving for my first ever trip to the Hall of Fame. I'm stoked. Has anyone ever been? Any pointers? When I first started dating my girlfriend I mentioned to her that the Hall of Fame was one of my lifelong dreams, and for my birthday, she surprised me with this trip.

I was last there 9 years ago, so I'm not sure how relevant my advice would be. I would suggest taking your time above all else. There's a lot to see and it's tempting to rush through there, but try not to.

Going there with my grandpa is a very fond memory. Just soak it all in man, it's a very cool place. :unsmith:

Fuck the DH
Judge is huge for a baseballing man, and it's cool that he's great and all, but it's weird when people go into Andre The Giant style freakshow mode about him. Among the general populace it's unusual but not THAT unusual. 6'7 is "fair chances of finding someone else in the stadium that height" tall.

I have a friend of almost 20 years who is the same height, and he lives in a tiny rear end low-density town, and he is not even the only person in the town who is that tall. I dunno. I don't mean to sound like a dick, I think the real story is that he is both an MLB player and very good.

I went there for Ryne Sandberg's induction, which was complete insanity. The entire town was packed to the gills with people. I imagine on a normal week, the vibe is way more chill with a folksy small-town feel. My favorite part about going on induction weekend was the fact that you'd just be walking down the street and oh hey there's Dave Winfield, there's Yogi Berra, there's Rollie Fingers, just checking out the local shops like everyone else.
