Here's Cleveland's magic number today: 29.

 

If you combine it with your imaginary magic number, 29+sqrt(-256) gets pretty complex.

Leroy Robert Paige. Satch, natch.

Satch. 

 

I remember Satch.

 

So fast, the man could turn out the lights and be in bed before it got dark.

 

edit: But not as fast as Cool Papa Bell, of whom Satch noted, after Bell hit a screaming line drive past his ear, "I turned around and saw the ball hit him sliding into second."

Or Byron Buxton who once hit a home run and was rounding 2nd by the time the fans heard the crack of the back.   The shortstop said something nasty as he went by so he slapped the third baseman on the catcher's mouth.

After tonights game the Twins Magic Number should feel like this to Clevelander's

 

I hope no players suffer chronic pain that never entirely resolves (Wikipedia's telling) due to our series with them.

Chronic pain more likely from wearing the tools of ignorance than from injuring Rose on that play

He had a serious knee injury caused by Hal McRae. McRae had a reputation as a hothead and a dirty player and he also had several situations when he managed which were consistent with that. I don't remember the year, but I know it was very near the end of the season, when McRae was trying to score and Borgmann was fielding the throw to make the tag. McRae came in "sliding", more or less. His foot was planted squarely on the side of Borgmann's knee, and there is no doubt in my mind that it was intent to injure first, and intent to score second. I know this is off topic but this memory is triggered by any mention of Borgmann.

Putting Cleveland's magic number to win the division 23 sure does make things look a heck of a lot better.

Thank you for this!  McRae was always my least favorite player.  Also sorry about the off-topic.
