"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

I can live with a groundout or a flyball at times letting one run score. But my point is with Holmes is going to have a known stat out there as being something like like 23 for 31 in saves attempts, why shouldn't we know that reliever X has as has come in with 19 guys on base, stranding only 11 of them.
Aaron Judge today hit the 298th homer of his career.
With 2 more home runs, Judge will reach 300 homers. He will set the all time record for the fewest games to reach 300 career homers in MLB history. And the record won't even be a close one. With a current HR/G rate of 0.37 in 2024, Judge will likely set the record in a week. The current record holder, Ralph Kiner, played in 1,087 games to reach 300 career home runs. Through August 3, Judge has played in just 945 games to reach 298 home runs in his career. That's a difference of about 3/4 of a full season worth of games.
Rodon's numbers were inflated by the IRS.
