For the historical gamer
Awesome tale, including Eckersley intentionally drilling one of his teammates:

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.

Love this comment from Dave Henderson

Dave Henderson: We all hated Eckersley because he was basically a dick on the mound. I'd faced the guy for 10 years and he was a dick before. The only reason we let him live was because he was on our team.

I read it and my first thought was "Great read!" and my second thought was that a lot of you guys would enjoy it as well.

I loved this one as well:

The Worst of the Best: The Season?s Wildest Pitches | FanGraphs Baseball

Some amazing gifs and commentary.

An excerpt:

"Nelson: Oh, you think you’re a good pitch-framer, eh?
Nelson: Frame this!
Nelson: /wild pitch
Lucroy: /can’t catch it
Nelson: ahahahaha
Nelson: I sure showed you!
Lucroy: We are on the same team
Nelson: I don’t think so!
Nelson: I don’t play for Team Liar!
Lucroy: Pitch-framing is a talent and it can save you strikes.
Lucroy: It’s not just about deception.
Nelson: It seems like trickery. Like it’s dishonest.
Lucroy: It’s just catching a ball cleanly. It’s just giving the umpire a chance.
Nelson: I don’t know, though.
Nelson: I wish the zone were just-
Umpire: Throw a pitch or I’m going to call a ball.
Lucroy: Oh like any of you are ever going to enforce that
Nelson: /makes chicken noises from mound
Umpire: Aw come on you guys"

Highly recommended if you like humor with your baseball.

It got me through a boring afternoon at work, so I'm grateful, but yeah it was cool to read about the behind the scenes things and some players I hadn't thought about in ages. I wasn't a fan of either team, but I remember tuning in to the game to see the reruns playing instead of the game, thinking it was rain, then Koppel came on and said what had happened.
