Nestor Cortés comes into today's game after throwing two 7 inning shut out games with no walks allowed!! This is very rare. The last person to do this was Ron Guidry. That's how rare it is. Great job, Nestor!!! Do it again, my friend!! 😍 Let's go Yankees!!!!!

Nestor has a 19 inning scoreless streak going. That's his best record to date. If he can finish the 6th today, he'll have 20 scoreless innings!! He just needs one more out. The bases are loaded. No pressure. 🤣 Let's go, Nestor!! I believe in you!! One more strike.... the pitch.... he did it!!! Spectacular pitching, Nestor!! Striking out the top of the order with all those men on base!!! Great job!! Thank you, Nestor!! That was a nail biter, indeed. You just proved how great you are!! Let's go Yankees!!!!!

Boone let Nestor pitch the 7th, but unfortunately, pitch number 88 was a home run. Nestor pitched a great game. This is the first home run that he allowed since August 8th. Hold your head high, Nestor!! You did a great job!! Let's go Yankees!!!!!

Babe Ruth is the single most famous baseball player in the entire world. Babe Ruth is also one of the greatest baseball players in the history of the game. The Bambino's slugging ability was so great, his last name became an adjective — "Ruthian" — used to describe performances of heroic proportion. We could effortlessly write an entire book (more books about Babe Ruth have been written than any other player) here, but will stick to a mere handful of career highlights.

Babe Ruth the "champion": Ruth was a World Series champion seven times (1915, 1916, 1918, 1923, 1927, 1928, 1932), the American League home run champion twelve times (1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931), the RBI Champion six times (1919, 1920, 1921, 1923, 1926, 1928), the On-Base Percentage Champion ten times (1919, 1920, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1927, 1930, 1931, 1932) and the Slugging Average Champion thirteen times (1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931)!

Babe Ruth the "home run king": Ruth was the first player in Major League history to hit 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 home runs. In 1919, Ruth hit 29 home runs becoming the all-time single-season home-run leader. A year later Ruth hit 54 home runs, breaking his own record as the all-time single-season home run leader and became the first player to hit over 50 home runs in a season. The very next year, he hit 59 home runs, breaking his own record yet again. Finally, in 1927, The Sultan of Swat hit 60 home runs, breaking the mark and establishing a plateau that was legendary for decades. Currently, Ruth still holds records for most home runs in any decade (467 in the 1920s), fastest player to hit 600 home runs (2,044 games) and fastest player to hit 700 home runs (2,418 games).

Babe Ruth the "best left-handed pitcher in baseball": Ruth was 18-8 with a 2.44 ERA his first full season on the mound (1915), twenty-wins club (23-12) the very next year (and the ERA Champion, 1.75), and twenty-wins club (24-13) the year after that. Ruth still holds pitching records for most shutouts in a season by a lefty with 9 (tied by Ron Guidry in 1978) and most innings pitched (14) in a World Series game, on October 9, 1916, a complete game 2-1 victory.

Babe Ruth the "postseason prince": Ruth set World Series records with 3 homers in a game (and did it twice) and 12 total bases in a game. His 15 postseason home runs, all hit during World Series games, were a record until Mickey Mantle tied him in 1963 then eventually passed him in 1964. And let us never forget the 1932 World Series, legendary and debatable still to this day, courtesy of "The Called Shot".

Babe Ruth the "nickname collector": Babe (which some actually believe is his real name due to its use) probably had more well-published nicknames than any other player and here are but a few we have seen in print: The Bambino, The Sultan of Swat, The Colossus of Clout, The Wazir of Wham, The Maharajah of Mash, The Rajah of Rap, The Caliph of Clout, the Behemoth of Bust, The Mammoth of Maul, The Mauling Mastodon, The Mauling Monarch, The Wali of Wollop, and to his teammates, Jidge.

Babe Ruth the "hall of fame legend": Ruth was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on February 2, 1936, by the Baseball Writers Association of America, as part of the inaugural class of inductees. At the time of his induction, Ruth held literally hundreds, and we mean hundreds, of baseball records. The single most prolific hitter in baseball history, a key component in "Murderer's Row" and a charismatic personality — both on and off the field — that made him a larger-than-life figure and one of the greatest sports heroes, not just in baseball, but in American culture.

Babe Ruth is part of an elite set of pitchers in Major League history whose career on the mound spanned at least ten seasons and NEVER once included a losing record! The other aces: Spud Chandler (11 seasons), Dizzy Dean (12 seasons), Dave Foutz (11 seasons), Joe McGinnity (10 seasons), Andy Pettitte (18 seasons), Deacon Phillippe (13 seasons), Jay Powell (11 seasons) and Urban Shocker (13 seasons).

Planet K2-18b is almost dead, humanity is enslaved, and it’s Rickard’s fault.

Book review-

I have to say that this collection of stories is worth checking out if you want to be exposed to multiple writers’ works all at once and especially if you enjoy sci-fi! This is a wide variety of reads, some parts from the human’s perspective and some, not. Some stories are realistic, some are realistic (almost scarily so), and some humourous in its ridiculousness while others make you think.

I will say- I’m not a sci-fi reader. And some of these reads were hard to stomach in the start but for me- the more I read, the more I enjoyed. And saying this as a very rarely into sci-fi story reader, this is a beginnner friendly read. The illustrations are great and match the stories so well, and the audiobook narrator pulls out all the stops to make hearing this antropology enjoyable. I would definitely recommend checking this out!

I hope you enjoy this read! Thank you to Galaxy Press and bookinfluencers.com for my copy of the audiobook!

Gerrit Cole has finally won the Cy Young Award

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole (33) of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) won his first Cy Young Award after overcoming the pain of 2019.

MLB's official website "MLB Dotcom" said on the 16th, "Call received the American League Cy Young Award." He received a unanimous vote of 30 first-place votes in the Baseball Journalists Association (BBWAA) vote. It is the first award in 11 years since his debut.

Earlier, Cole stayed in second place twice in 2019 and 2021. But the third challenge was different. Cole ranked third in the American League this year (15 wins), first in ERA (2.63), third in strikeouts (222), and first in innings pitched (209 innings).

This is the 11th time that the American League Cy Young Award winner has been unanimously selected. Justin Verlander (2011 and 2022), Joan Santana (2004 and 2006), Pedro Martinez (1999 and 2000), Roger Clemens (1986 and 1998), Ron Guidry (1978) and Denny McClain (1968).

In the National League, left-handed pitcher Blake Snell (31) of the San Diego Padres dominated 28 out of 30 first-place votes. Snell won his second career Cy Young Award. Snell finished first in the ERA league (2.25), second in strikeouts (234), and tied for fifth in multiple wins (14 wins).

Snell won the Cy Young Award for the 2018 American League Tampa Bay Rays. With this award, he became the seventh player to collect the Cy Young Award in both leagues, following Clemons, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Max Scherzer, Gailrod Perry and Roy Halladay. 토토사이트
