So apparently Christy Mathewson was the early 20th century version of Greg Maddux. From a link I got from somewhere where Eddie Collins talks pitchers:

N CONTRAST to Walsh is Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants. I would call Matty the clairvoyant of all pitchers. He seems to possess an uncanny power of divining what you are expecting; and then he serves up the exact opposite. Neither his fast ball, nor his curve, is remarkable, indeed they are only ordinary, but there is something about Mathewson, though, —his bearing, his manner,—that gives you the impression that you are going up against Gibraltar.

great pitcher, although his other big asset 15 his control. By comparison his style of balls is insignificant, for he has neither the fast one of Johnson nor the spitter of Walsh, but Matty comes nearer to putting a ball where he wants to than anyone else pitching to-day. With this ability he wastes few balls. Indeed, he prides himself on being able to go through a whole game and throw only eighty or ninety times, while most pitchers use well over one hundred. I understand that Mathewson has pitched a game in which he threw only sixty-nine. So you see, in this way he conserves his pitching strength.

Does anything show the degradation of the ADL more than the first two sentences of this paragraph?

The ADL was not among the 65 civil rights organizations that signed onto a June statement from the Leadership Conference condemning “antisemitic hate crimes” following the attacks at the Capital Jewish Museum and at a rally in Boulder, Colorado, last spring. Wiley also released a statement last summer defending the National Education Association, a member organization, after Republicans pushed to shut it down over a vote to boycott the ADL.

This Cubs team has the chance to have the most steals in a season since deadball. Here's a season by season breakdown of most SBs by Cubs teams. Except for 1985 and 1923 every single one of these seasons is in the deadball era. Cubs are currently on 118 steals after 101 games including tonight

Anybody know what was up in 1912:

The Cubs became the seventh team since 1900 to allow at least 10 runs in an inning and win the game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The last time it happened was Aug. 23, 2006, when Cleveland allowed a 10-run first in K.C., but won, 15-13 in 10 innings. Before that, it was the Phillies on June 8, 1989, against the Pirates (10-run first inning) -- which famously led to a Bucs broadcaster walking home from Philadelphia after declaring there was no way they’d lose the game. Before that, it was the Yankees vs. the A’s on June 3, 1933 (11-run third inning), Cubs vs. the Reds on Sept. 26, 1912 (10-run ninth), Giants at the Braves on June 20, 1912 (10-run ninth) and the A’s against the Yankees on May 3, 1912 (10-run ninth).
