the 3 Alou brothers Felipe Jesus, and Matty play in the San Francisco Giants outfield together for the first time.

the man that invented baseball was named Abner Doubleday in Cooperstown, New York, during the summer of 1839. Doubleday then went on to become a Civil War hero, while baseball became America's national pastime. Not only is that story untrue, it's not even in the ballpark
