MLB 2021 season: Corn-Driven Humidity

Giants - In 1925, Tim Mara purchased New York's first professional football team for a reported $500. Owner Tim Mara “borrowed” the Giants name from the city's Major League Baseball team of the same name. Mara decided on Giants because his team would play at the Polo Grounds, the home of baseball's New York Giants.

And honestly, we don't know that there wasn't some behind-closed-doors agreement between the two teams that had a cash component going to the baseball Giants.
 
And in not-surprising-at-all news, the Cleveland Guardians roller derby team is suing the Cleveland Indians for trying to take their name.

I don't get it, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame resides in Cleveland. How difficult would it have been to rename the Indians, The Cleveland Rockers?
 
Double helping of history with tonight's starters.

Zack Greinke became just the second pitcher to bat anywhere other than the ninth position in a World Series game...

...following the footsteps of Babe Ruth.

Dylan Lee became the first pitcher to make his debut start in a World Series game. No fucking pressure!

...and the pressure was too much. He left the game with the bases loaded and getting only one out via a strikeout. Fortunately, Kyle Wright got the Braves out of it with only one run scoring.
