A previous post looked at games in which Cubs pitchers threw what Marc Craig of The Athletic recently dubbed an "all-hitter": a game in which a pitcher allowed a hit to every batter he faced, with.
Two of the most exciting plays in baseball are a grand slam and a ninth-inning home run.
The Cubs have hit 340 grand slams in regular-season games since the creation of the National League in.
Entering the 2021 season, 148 players have been named the Rookie of the Year. Of them, 17 won the award at the beginning of a Hall of Fame career.
The average age of these players is just over 23, with award winners since 2010 averaging only 22.6 years of age.
Foxfield Spring races canceled, tickets for the fall on sale in June (FILE) (Source: WVIR) By Daniel Grimes | April 14, 2021 at 5:26 PM EDT - Updated April 14 at 5:26 PM
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - The Foxfield Spring races would normally take place in April, but due to COVID-19 that is not happening this year. Tickets for the fall races are set to go on sale in June.
After hosting a virtual race in fall 2020, the countdown began about whether to do it again in the spring or cancel all together.
“We did continue with our races this past fall. We did a live stream, which went really well. It is not financially viable to continue to do so this spring, so we’re putting all of our eggs in that next basket,” Kelsey Cox said.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch addressed the importance of being aggressive on the base paths during his Saturday morning media session. What he shared included the following, which I quoted on Twitter:
“Your WAR gets dinged whenever you get thrown out on the bases. It’s not valued. People are very aware… players are very aware of that. Winning baseball is good for your WAR too, even if it’s not quantifiable.”
Almost immediately, people began responding critically, opining that Hinch was (pun intended) off base. Feeling that more context was in order I’d prefaced the original Tweet by noting the subject at hand I added that Hinch also said that if you’re safe every time, you’re probably not being aggressive enough.
