An immaculate inning is when a pitcher throws nine pitches and gets three strikeouts. It’s only been done 116 times. It is rarer than a no-hitter (326 times).
Update – Andrew Kittredge threw one on August 6, 2025.

Will global warming increase the use of domed stadiums?
I live in Baltimore. I heard on the radio that the heat index at the start of tonight’s Orioles game will be 111. That doesn’t sound safe for players or fans.
I think the next Orioles stadium will be domed as a response to the heat and located in the suburbs to appease the part of their fan base (that pays attention to right-wing media) that thinks downtown is unsafe. They would also find more room in the suburbs to build around the stadium.

I got two seats and two teller window bars from the Pimlico Race Course
Pimlico, home of the Preakness in Baltimore, is being torn down and rebuilt. I found out about the auction from this article:
Pimlico Race Course is full of artifacts. Where will they go when it is razed?
Here are the auction site photos of the items I won.

White teller window bars (photos from govdeals.com)
Photos I took at Pimlico on June 3, 2025:
The two seats and two teller window bars that I won at the auction. I am working on getting stands so I can put the seats upright. They don’t have feet because they were attached to concrete.
See this post for my memories about going to the Preakness:
Sad!
