Last Night Cal became the first player in the 150 year history of MLB to scored from 2B on a Wild pitch AND hit a HR to dead center. Prove me wrong.

I looked into the history books and you'll be surprised to know that it was done twice in 1893 by "Omaha Gents" legend, Ezra "Crazy Knees" McGarnickle.

There's an asterisk because the field they played on was unfenced in open-range cattle country, plus the area was under frequent attack by the Lakota tribe.

Scoring from 2nd was actually pretty easy on wild pitches because the ball would get obscured in the roaming herds of cattle. And homeruns to center usually occurred when the center fielder took a Lakota arrow, and neither left or right fielder dared to approach the ball.

We need to take a page out of Logan's Run and once our players hit 30 we should have a "renewal ceremony" for them on the field at T-Mobile Park, starting with Rowdy Tellez after his next hitless game.

Congrats, kid! Here's to a Brooks Robinson-like 23-year 3B career with the Mariners :idea:
By Mark Polishuk | April 13, 2025 at 12:03pm CDT | mlbtr

The Mariners announced that they have selected the contract of third baseman Ben Williamson. In corresponding moves, outfielder Dominic Canzone was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma, and Ryan Bliss was moved to the 60-day injured list to create space on the 40-man roster.

Since multiple injuries up and down the roster have left the Mariners in need of infield reinforcements, the door was opened for Williamson to earn the first call-up of his three-year career as a professional. Williamson only made his Triple-A debut this season and has hit a modest .281/.317/.333 in 60 plate appearances in Tacoma, but the M’s can’t afford to be too picky given their lack of depth at the big league level.
Brooks had 15 Gold Gloves!
