Forget “Enter the Sandman” or Timmy Trumpet.
The coolest closer entrance in MLB history is “The Rubberband Man” by The Spinners for #Pittsburgh #Pirates closer Kent Tekulve. 😎
HBD 🎂 3/5/1947 Teke!

There were not 1, but 2 Inside-the-park HR’s in the same inning 🤯
#Chicago #Cubs Sammy Sosa hit one in the 6th, for a 2-0 CHI lead.
4 batter later, #Pittsburgh #Pirates Tony Womack, in the bottom half, returned the favor!

And he won a slam dunk contest when we were in college together
HBD 🎂 9/25/1969 former #Pittsburgh #Pirates 2B Tony Womack!
In his 5 years as a Bucco, Tony led the NL in stolen bases twice, hit .278 & was an All-Star once.
He memorably had one of the fastest recorded inside-the-park homers in 1997!

HBD 🎂 9/25/1953 former #Pittsburgh #Pirates OF Dick Davis!
Davis played the final 39 games of his MLB career with the 1982 Buccos, subbing for an injured Dave Parker.
His 2-run HR on 7/29/82 vs the Mets helped lead the Bucs to a 4-1 win.

On this date in 1948, the @Pirates banged out 20 hits (19 singles) and beat the Reds, 14-6, Forbes Field. Bob Chesnes pitched a CG and improved to 14-5 while also going 3-for-5 at the plate. Johnny Hopp had four hits and Wally Westlake produced the lone extra-base hit (triple).

Mike Lange broadcasting #Pirates games was definitely weird because there’s so much more down time in baseball.
That meant more time for Lange and Steve Blass to go off on wild tangents like this clip where Mikey talks about how to tell if someone is a werewolf 🐺
