today i learned the origin of the term "reefer," because joints resembled white refrigerator cars (from thomas w. gilbert's engaging "how baseball happened"), another obscure intersection of #baseball & #jazz.

#Rainbow and #baseball

A baseball game with a double rainbow. The game was delayed an hour because of light rain and lots of lightning. Then once they started playing the game was delayed by lots of walks in the top of the 1st inning, and then lots of runs scored in the home half. More runs in the bottom of the 2nd meant it took over 90 minutes and 9 runs to finish 2 innings. Things settled down after that but we left after the 4th with home team up 16-2. Don’t know the final score but presumably it was called after …

“How did a sports scene like #MiLB minor league #baseball—with a more than 100-year history of silly mascots, intimate hometown stadiums, and local ownership—get devoured so quickly by #PrivateEquity?”

Private Equity Now Owns More Than 40 Minor League Baseball Teams, And The Number Keeps Growing | Defector
Private equity is the steamroller that crushes all your favorite things. Journalism, for one, and also a once iconic toy store; even bowling these days. Now it has come for minor league baseball, where in little more than three years one private equity firm has managed to buy up a healthy percentage of the MiLB […]

A baseball looks suspended in air above a bat held by a man with white gloves, you can see a little gap of skin and then red sleeves and a black shirt with a mostly hidden face with a red plastic helmet that has a white C on it and white pants, over a green synthetic grass field with a brown margin and a fence behind

loved every counterintuitive twist in thomas gilbert's "how baseball happened," the weirdness of early #baseball set against the social/cultural worlds of 19th century #nyc/#brooklyn, a perfect complement to john thorn's "baseball in the garden of eden" & lucy sante's &quo…

A baseball player reaches second base (I think) while looking back over his shoulder: he's got a dark blue helmet and undershirt and a grey jersey that says Quakers 3 and behind him a sign reds GO BIG RED

“The A’s have clarified their position. And by ‘clarified their position,’ we mean ‘challenged the Colorado Rockies for the title of worst #baseball team on earth.’”

The Athletics Have Hopped Back Into The Dumpster | Defector
There was a time not that long ago when the West Sacramento Athletics were positioning themselves to replace The Hunny Club as the pride of Yolo County, which would have been a true festival of inner conflict for the region. By “not that long ago,” we mean May 5. Since then, the A’s have clarified their position. […]

Tonight's game is Stripers vs Durham Bulls (again). Last night's game was rained out. So, today is a seven inning double header (two 7 inning games). We got here just in time for the end of the first game (6th inning).

We have #baseball tonight. Kind of a weird setup because last night's game was rained out. So, today is two 7 inning games. We arrived to catch the end of one and the beginning of the second.
