Ty Cobb had 295 triples including 24 in a season twice....

The old ballparks were very conducive to it. Here are the dimensions in 1911/1912 when he hit a combined 47 triples:

Tiger Stadium: 345/467/370
Shibe Park (Philadelphia): 378/515/340
League Park (Cleveland): 375/460/290
White Sox Park: 362/420/362
Huntington Avenue Grounds (Boston): 350/456/320
Fenway Park (opened in 1912): 321/488/314
Hilltop Park (New York): 365/542/400
Polo Grounds (renovated in 1911): 279/483/258
Griffith Stadium (Washington): 407/421/320
Sportsmans Park (St. Louis): 330/430/315

With outfielders wearing Mordecai Brown model gloves and the Tom Emanski video not yet being in existence, if you had any kind of power at all, 20 triples was a cinch. I don't know which is crazier, that the people who built these ballparks had no sense when it came to field dimensions, that networks couldn't broadcast a game that didn't look like they just handed cameras to a couple of shitfaced drunks, that they actually broadcasted other programs over the World Series (erasing the footage), or that it took until the 1980s before someone said "Say...maybe we should wear hats and jerseys to games instead of dressing like we're going to Mass."

I heard there is a Passel of a few dozen Iowa Pigs roaming around in the Cornfields beyond the fence. If the ball gets under the fence and one of the Pigs eats it, it is regarded as an inside the Pork HR...

Cal has begun hitting off a tee. Don't think it's going to be the all star break

"He's doing well right now," Hollander said of Raleigh. "He's catching, he's throwing out to 130 feet, I believe. Just want to build responsibly, and make sure that when he cuts it loose 100%, that he feels 100%."

Build responsibly? What the heck does that mean?

Yea something is fishy. Garver hurting? Weird no move has been made but Pereda has been solid but so hasent Garver. Just really weird

Great to see Jp get us on the board early. Gotta gain some steam from last series.
