On November 25, 1951 Bucky Dent was born. Dent had his brief, memorable moment in the sun, and of course, that is practically the only thing people know about him. Richard looks at other, similar players.

On Nov. 18, 1967, Tom Gordon was born. Gordon is one of only a handful of pitchers in the “3-100 Club”—those with 100 games started, wins and saves. Richard looks at the entire group.

On Nov. 12, 1993, Bill Dickey died. The former Yankee catcher was an all-time great, a Hall of Famer, 11-time All-Star and career .313 hitter. Dickey also played on eight teams that won a World Series; only two players have more. But this week Richard looks back on the unfortunate souls not so lucky.

Oct. 31 is Halloween, the day when people everywhere dress up and head out to trick-or-treat and maybe put a scare into their neighbors. Richard looks back at the men born on this day and what might scare them.

On Oct. 18, 1988, a walk-off home run was hit in the World Series off of an All-Star reliever. But this isn’t Kirk Gibson off Dennis Eckersley, it is Mark McGwire and Jay Howell. Richard looks back at this and other memorable postseason series featuring multiple walk-offs.

As it turns out, the final regular season game of 2009 would not take place until Oct. 6, 2009—and what a game it was. But that hasn’t been enough to change Richard’s All-Decade team; today he completes the roster started last week.

On Sept. 27, the final week of the games for the 2009 season began. This is also, of course, the last week of games for the decade that began in 2000. Richard looks back and presents the first half of his team of the decade.

On Sept. 14, 1853 Jake Goodman was born. He is the earliest born man from that date to debut in the Major Leagues, while the latest is Delmon Young, born on this date in 1985. Richard looks back at the players who connect them.

On Sept. 9, 1913 Hugh Mulcahy was born. Or, as he was known during his nine-year career “Losing Pitcher” Mulcahy. That is what happens when you have the misfortune of pitching for some of the worst teams in baseball history.

When it comes to great moments, historic games and memorable plays, Richard will admit that Sept. 4 does not notably stand out. But that doesn’t mean the history of what took place on that isn’t worth hearing, especially if you appreciate the more unusual bits in baseball history.
