Finally starting this today, but reading it in my best attempt at a This Day in History order, for an anniversary significant to that player (Koufax perfect game, Randy Johnson/bird, etc.). Or today, Adrian Beltre signing with the Rangers. Should be fun to savor it all year,

Look, I get the math. I get it that you go for two down 8 because it might set you up for the win and if you fail you still have a chance to tie. But if you’re the Browns, you will fumble the snap on the first attempt and forget to pitch the ball on a dumb trick play on the second.
