Cal Raleigh and Babe Ruth are the only players in MLB history to hit *exactly* 60 home runs in a season. Both hit HR 6️⃣1️⃣ in the Postseason on October 7, in their final AB of a win in which their team scored 8 runs:

Ruth 10/7/1927

at this point i’m exhausted and annoyed by way too online yankees fans running around the internet being dicks about cal raleigh on every single post about him on any platform because of an mvp race, it is very silly

you want to be a podcaster not an opinion editor but you’re also unintentionally giving up the game that the opinion section is a joke

Brian Floyd @brianmfloyd.bsky.social · 8h

he’s not gonna make it that long but also if an editor told me they were going to spend 20 hours a week on a podcast i would take their section away from them or ask if we even needed that section to begin with

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 8h

Some scoops in here: Adam O'Neal is telling people he will helm The WaPo's flagship opinion podcast, spending upwards of four hours a day on it. He's also indicated, per a source, that he plans to remain in his current job for decades. www.status.news/p/washington...
