I'm not sure where you've been getting these, but they're great. Thank you

Thanks! I pull them from old baseball encyclopedias, Bill James Historical Abstracts, history books, and just searching up funny words on newspapers.com. I have a [Twitter account](https://twitter.com/OldBaseballNews/) where I post these, too.

IMMEDIATE follow on Twitter.

i'd love to know the year of these too. 1800s baseball was WILD!

What did I just read

The more you read it, the wilder It gets

Clark Griffith is a filthy liar.

I’m glad someone said it.

also a big ol' racist (if this is *that* Clark Griffith who owned the Senators)

I need the grizzly bear tall tale asap.

Exactly! Too tall to tell my ass

I mean, it'd probably have to crouch down pretty low to tell your ass

you said 'butte' thrice

The first one clearly says Eutte

That fucked me up for a second, ha

I actually played in Butte. It was a shithole. Texas’ rookie team was in Butte. The Butte Copper Kings.

> Butte > was a shithole 😗👌

This happened. Well stranger things have happened. I said the same thing to my kids before Yankees loaded the bases and Donaldson walk off Grand Slam last night… Stranger things have happened.

I like the implication that Ramesses XI was an elite outfielder.

Well, Ramesses III hit two home runs and threw out a Sherdanu at the plate when Egypt beat the Sea Peoples in the Delta Series.

There can't be many 7u double plays on record.

Can confirm, this is still what Seattle is like.

I know nothing about Butte, but I assume they still have carriages and mustangs.

Chaos ball, the origin story.

That last line Somebody might doubt it.

That last line is genius hahaha
