  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Hank Aaron Leaves Inspiring Legacy
    For UBS marketing purposes Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron, the Hall of Fame slugger whose 755 career home runs long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86. (UBS) Athletes and Entertainers Hank Aaron leaves inspiring legacy 25 January 2021, 2:47 pm CET, written by UBS Editorial Team Hank Aaron, one of baseball’s greatest all-around players, died Friday, aged 86, leaving behind an inspiring legacy. Many will likely remember Aaron’s composure and grace as he endured racist threats during his pursuit of Babe Ruth’s home run record, as much as his numerous achievements on the diamond. As well as being a 25-time All-Star, an MVP and a three-time Gold Glove, Aaron ended his career as Major League Baseball’s all-time home run leader with 755. He had taken the crown from the New York Yankees' great Babe Ruth and later lost it to San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds. President of The Players Alliance, and former Major League All-Star outfielder, Curtis Granderson stated that "we lost one of our game’s greatest icons, Hank Aaron. A devoted civil rights activist, his lasting impact will forever be measured well beyond his “Hammerin’ Hank” home run swing." "On behalf of the players that make up the Alliance, we owe a debt of gratitude for all Hank Aaron did for our game and our country’s movement toward equality. We send our deepest condolences to his family in the wake of his passing," Granderson said. The Players Alliance, made-up of over 100 black current and former professional baseball players, united to use their collective voice and platform to create increased opportunities for the black community in every aspect of baseball and beyond.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, September 23, 2015 Braves.com 4-run 5th leads Braves to victory over Mets By Anthony DiComo and Mark Bowman / MLB.com | 2:16 AM ET NEW YORK -- For the first time since he began subbing for the superstars in New York's rotation, Logan Verrett was unable to make the Mets forget about Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom. Verrett gave up four runs in the fifth inning Tuesday at Citi Field, including a three-run homer to Hector Olivera, dropping the Mets to a 6-2 loss to the Braves. Combined with Washington's loss to the Orioles, which lowered the Mets' magic number to six, the defeat kept their National League East lead at 6.5 games with 11 to play. The Mets are a half-game back of the Dodgers in the race for home-field advantage in their potential NL Division Series matchup, after the D-backs defeated Los Angeles on Tuesday, 8-0. "For me, it looks like we're tight," manager Terry Collins said. "I don't know why. It's just the perception it looks like from the bench." "I don't think we're tight," third baseman David Wright said. "There's just going to be some games where we get outplayed, and tonight was one of them." Subbing for deGrom, whom the Mets pushed back in their rotation to lighten his workload, Verrett held the Braves scoreless until Jace Peterson homered to start the fifth. Five batters later, Olivera added a three-run shot to spoil Verrett's day.
