The 1915 Detroit Tigers…
This is a pretty interesting story about the Tigers of 1915. The are not one of the most remembered versions probably because they didn’t win the World Series.
On May 11, 1915, the Detroit Tigers rattled a 20-year old Red Sox’ pitcher named Babe Ruth in a 5-1 win at Navin Field. The victory put the Tigs 4 1/2 games ahead of Boston and improved their record to a glossy 18-7, 3 1/2 games ahead of the next closest team in the American League. The Tigers were on their way to the best season in the history of the franchise to that point.

Twirlgate
Ok, I’m a nerd. Besides being married to baseball with hockey as my girlfriend, I like tennis a lot too, especially the women’s game. No, not just because a lot of them are hot, I prefer longer points.
In any case, 20 year old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard is an excellent tennis player and she’s hot. After a recent victory at the Australian open, the male interviewer asked her to “twirl” to show the crowd her cute pink dress. I’m sure that wasn’t the only thing the interviewer wanted to see but I digress. Bouchard complied and found it amusing but that hasn’t stopped the feminazis from crying sexism.
Below is a clip of twirlgate from youtube.
Did I mention the Eugenie is hot?
You’re welcome!
