@buckweaver.bsky.socialReposted by @sabr-hp.bsky.socialCongratulations to @janetmariesmith.bsky.social, who was honored tonight as the 2026 SABR Dorothy Seymour Mills Lifetime Achievement Award winner for women in baseball! sabr.org/latest/janet...
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialHis 1987 book, "Ballpark Figures" about the Blue Jays and the economics of major league baseball, was a great look at the essential facets of the business side of the game. Minor league affiliates, Latin American operations, arbitration, free agency, collective bargaining, road trip costs...
@sabr-hp.bsky.social[Vomits in Canadian] 🤮🇨🇦
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialFor some context, on October 14, 1906, the White Sox won 8-3, chasing Cubs ace Three Finger Brown in the bottom of the 2nd at South Side Park III, future home of the great Chicago American Giants of the Negro N.L., a few blocks south of Rate Field. Here is the American flag at that time.
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialNine wins away from attendance spiking at Catholic churches in S. Chicago
@dmfox.bsky.socialReposted by @sabr-hp.bsky.socialLooking forward to this! Toronto has a rich baseball history that stretches back long before the Blue Jays.
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialOctober is the best baseball month. SABR Hanlan's Point Chapter autumn meeting will be on October 21 at 730pm on Zoom. We welcome @dmfox.bsky.social to talk about his book "The Howleyites: Toronto’s Changing City, A Stadium Rising, and The Champions of 1926". Message us for registration details!
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialPer @cdnbaseballhof.bsky.social, Cleveland reliever Cade Smith (13) passed John Axford today for most career postseason games pitched by Canadians.
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialAs we remind everyone every October: ignore the opinions of anyone who tries to convince you that tonight's winner "wanted it more".
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialNL bracket has Chicago-San Diego winner playing Milwaukee in NLDS (and Philadelphia-Atlanta winner playing Los Angeles in the other NLDS)
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialOn August 10, we projected 278 strikeouts for Misiorowski. Clearly, we overestimated.
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialGoing to be some good debate on which Canadian player should be honored with the @cdnbaseballhof.bsky.social 2026 Tip O'Neill Award. Smith? Sabrowski? And don't forget Chicago White Sox All-Star Tristan Peters (Winkler, MB).
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialCongratulations to Cade Smith (Vancouver, BC) for co-leading the major leagues in saves. Also, Eric Sabrowski (Edmonton, AB) finished 5th in A.L. holds despite missing a month due to injury and consequently pitching 12 to 30 fewer innings than the relievers ahead of him.
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialCongratulations to Dominican Republic-born & Montréal-raised Otto Lopez on his All-Star 2026 season and base hits crown. Lopez has represented Canada twice at the World Baseball Classic.
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialWhat a career. HoF 2032.
@mlbbot.bsky.socialReposted by @sabr-hp.bsky.socialIn what could be the final start of his career, Max Scherzer takes the mound by himself to a standing ovation 👏
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialA few brief words on this final day of the 2026 MLB championship season schedule:
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialThank you Kevin. Do you think Otto Lopez might receive consideration this autumn based on his similar path to Canada?
@sabr-hp.bsky.socialQuick question: @coopincanada.bsky.social, for the Tip O'Neill Award: is the pool of eligible players limited strictly to Canadian-born, or are naturalized citizens also eligible?
