Dr. Wills unravels the mystery of a late-season surge in home runs with impeccable research and analysis. Makes a delicious pairing with @MarkArmour04's & @dlevs1's book about the existential quandary of cheating and its implications, "Intentional Balk" amazon.com/Intentional-Balk-…
In conjunction with Dr. Meredith Wills, Insider found evidence MLB used three distinct baseballs in 2022. The balls show up in distinct places in our sample. Oh! A player got a stern warning from the league for trying to help. Balls don't lie, Part 2: insider.com/mlb-used-two-bal…

Fascinating--some bats were grandfathered in 2010, like 17 spitball pitchers in 1920 when the spitball was banned.

According to the exceptional book “The Outlaw League..." written by @dlevs1 the installation of light poles in Wash Park III began on 09/11/15 (p 215). The Brookfeds had planned on playing their final series vs. Buff at night but the installation could not be completed on time.
Join us tomorrow for a virtual conversation with famed #baseball historians Daniel Levitt and @MarkArmour04 to celebrate the launch of their book, "Intentional Balk: Baseball's Thin Line Between Innovation and Cheating." RSVP: buff.ly/3NPDUMq #MLB #AllStarGame
On this date in 2006 Tampa Bay GM Andrew Freedman traded veteran slugger 3B/OF/1B Aubrey Huff to Astros GM Tim Purpura for 2 prospects including INF Ben Zobrist. Huff had a couple strong seasons remaining, but Zobrist became a star multi-position player. @MarkArmour04

On this date in 2003 Marlins GM Larry Beinfest went all in on the season, trading 3 prospects including 2000 overall #1 pick 1B Adrian Gonzalez to Rangers GM John Hart for star CL Ugueth Urbina. The Marlins won the WS, but Gonzalez had a substantial career. @MarkArmour04
