Appropriate that Lee Elia Day falls on a Not Gaetti Chaos Tuesday. Celebrate appropriately by cursing out a person or two as you go about your day. youtu.be/B2pai2QQA54?si…

#OTD in 1939, Babe Dahlgren had a career defining moment when he replaced his idol, Lou Gehrig, at 1st for the Yanks that afternoon. Here’s my painting depicting him a few months later. For more info about his career, check out Matt Dahlgren's book: rumorintown.com

RIP CHET LEMON A fan favorite and key member of the 1984 World Series Tigers who covered a ton of ground in CF in a couple of spacious ballparks. He still ranks 25th in career OF putouts ahead of defensive stars like Mantle, Flood, Snider, Pinson, Torii Hunter & Puckett.
