@LiterateIndy Found this shot from the February 23, 1952 Indianapolis News and AI'd it with a February sky. Not perfect but interesting nonetheless.

@LiterateIndy Love this photo. Here's an AI adjusted version of it just because.

Who’s the first name that pops into your head when you think of the dirtiest player in NFL history?

@IndianaFootball I miss the old days when I wondered how many spots IU went up in the polls.

No. 2 in this week's polls.

A classic shot of Lou Gehrig taking a powerful swing, May 24, 1938, at League Park II, Cleveland. He hit a double into right field off the Indians' Johnny Allen in the top of the second inning. Frankie Pytlak is the catcher for Cleveland and Harry Geisel the home plate umpire.

Dizzy Dean is named the NL MVP with a 30-7 record, November 3, 1934. He led the St. Louis Cardinals, famously known as the "Gashouse Gang," to the National League pennant and eventual World Series championship over the Detroit Tigers. Dean also led the league in strikeouts with 195 in 311.2 innings pitched.

"Then came the ninth and Yankees manager Casey Stengel had three pinch-hitters ready. Pitcher Joe Black, only one run ahead, was called upon to face Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Johnny Mize. One could do it and a combination could win it. When Mantle walked on four pitches the crowd, already thrilled, did not budge. Berra slammed the ball over the right-field fence, but it was a foul homer. Then Yogi bounced to the mound. Black turned and threw to second. It was a low, wide toss, but Pee Wee Reese made an excellent grab, stepped on the base and relayed to Jackie Robinson, who was the first baseman in this game, for the double play. Mize then popped foul to Bobby Morgan and the Dodgers were home free. "There will be a place in the line-up for Robinson every day," Mgr. Chuck Dressen said. "Only an injury will keep Jackie out." Putting two and two together, this means that Robby will be shuttling between first and third. Louis Effrat, New York Times St. Petersburg's Al Lang Field March 29, 1953.

"Brooks Robinson was very particular about his glove. He would try the gloves of different players and would trade two of his own for theirs if he really wanted it. Once he found one he liked, he would take a year to prepare it. When he felt it was ready for game action, he would use it exclusively during games, using others for batting practice and infield workouts. Brooks Robinson, Dave McNally, Andy Etchebarren,`66

Memorable WWII HEROES from the past! Hoyt earned a Purple Heart for being wounded at The Battle of the Bulge (look THAT up, you whipper-snappers here!). An Army staff sergeant, he pitched his entire career with a piece of shrapnel lodged in his back. Nickname: "The Old Sarge."

@TracesofTexas Here's how you do it:

@_newspapers I don’t think this actually happened.

In a wild twist of fate, Alice Roth was hit by foul balls from the same batter twice in the same 1957 Phillies v. Giants game. The first ball broke her nose, while the second broke her leg. Alice recovered and even formed a friendship with the batter, Richie Ashburn. See this clipping in The State on our site. @thestate newspapers.com/article/the-st…

"The strain on Roger Maris was unbelievable. After I dropped out of the race, the reporters only had one guy to go to. They surrounded Maris everywhere he went. He had big clumps of hair falling out. That Roger Maris went ahead and did it, was unbelievable. When Roger Maris hit it, he came into the dugout and they were all applauding. I mean, this is something that's only happened once in baseball, right? And the people were all applauding. They wanted Maris to come back out. He wouldn't come out, so the players had to push him back out. They forced him to come out and take a bow. That's the kind of guy he was. Roger was great, and I really liked him" Mickey Mantle Roger Maris watches his record-breaking 61st home run soar toward right field at Yankee Stadium on Oct. 1, 1961. In my HOF!!
