correct

I thought the St Louis Browns became the Baltimore Orioles after the cardinals basically pushed them out of sportsmans park

@@yesd2024 You're thinking of the AL Browns, founded as the Milwaukee Brewers and moved to St. Louis in 1902 (and renamed after the older team).

then, as they say, the rest is history

@@yesd2024 There was a Brown's team that did end up in Baltimore, but they came around in 1902.

Well they used to be in baskets hence the name and way shorter before it became what it is today. With new taller ppl I'm sure they raised it since it ain't against the game

@@trustmeimapotato7244 the first player over 6'

bruh look it up they did it

@MANCHESTER UNITED tf?

@MANCHESTER UNITED define biggest, more people watch it? More people pay money to be there? More people play it world-wide? Obviously no-one here is arguing that baseball is the best or "biggest" sport, so wtf you going on about?

in a recent tour de france one of the bikers realized that he got a bad start right out of the gate and instantly fell getting a chance to re-do his start, this was widely mocked but it was completely legal.

In a Six Nations game between Italy and England in 2017, the Italian players would purposefully not contest rucks and have players in what the English players thought were offside positions. It turns out that because the Italians weren't contesting the ball, thus meaning there was no ruck, and because in rugby offside is based on the formation of a ruck, the Italians were not offside. Passing lanes were thus obstructed by Italian players standing in perfeclty places, killing the English attack. The ref said to two English players who questioned the tactic that he's just a referee and not their coach. The Italians lost 36-15.

Look up Roger Nelson, he is and was a genius when it comes to loopholes

the big sport of orienteering.

Loophole finding is what makes games better. Loophole gets exploited, people reevaluate the game, loophole is taken out or adopted, the game becomes better (hopefully). Just watched an episode of a show called "losers" were this happened to the game of curling

Milkbrain But right before the "Ed" debate

“Ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball!!!”

Such a bad movie, yet such a great movie.

I was about to say this is the Airbud rule about a century before Airbud.

I know a parakeet named Peek-a-boo that wants to play pro baseball. Soccer, basketball and lacrosse too.

And just like the old Cleveland Browns, the old stl browns ended up in Baltimore. All Baltimore needs to get an NBA or NHL team is for one of those leagues to have a team named the Browns -- sooner or later all Browns go to Baltimore.

Jacob Singleton I’m from the future. This comment is now half wrong.

Joeylawn36111 You’re from the future?

Cleveland Browns never existed it was Cleveland Blues. And St. Louis Brown Stockings

@@matthewbanta3240 Yes, a team named the Stl. Browns did move to Baltimore, but it wasn't the team mentioned in the video. The late 1800's browns renamed themselves to the Perfectos in 1899, and then to the Cardinals is 1900.

Think about it, red sox, white sox

They'd prolly play in any random shirt and differentiate themselves by their high socks

how can you be a fan of the knicks AND the nets?

lemon Knicks for Hometown pride and the Nets because they were the team that got me into basketball back when they had Kid, K Mart and VC. One they moved to Brooklyn "my home barough" it pretty much sealed the deal

Considering the average life expectancy at that time was around 40, they did live pretty long.

theman6109 that's because babies would die a lot. If you lived to be a teen, you pretty much made it to adulthood. That's been the case for all of civilization, usual human lifespan without flups or diseases has been 70s-80s like today for a while. The real lesson methinks, is that alcoholism isn't healthy

forgetfulfunctor1 the whole reason life expectancy is higher isn’t just because babies died but because medicine as a whole has greatly improved. You say “without diseases” 70-80, but not many people live to 70-80 without diseases. It’s just not common. They live that long nowadays because of medicine.

CardsNHorns04 death you can consider tragic, but everyone dies.

@@theman6109 that's what came into my mind, pretty sure you're right though.

Europa Eternal but how would he do if he went up against modern pitchers?

@@gorillamunch6899 Fair point, I'm pretty sure the hardest throwing pitchers back then topped out in the high 80's or low 90's. Plus breaking balls were nowhere near as common.

No. He had a live ball. The players before him had a dead ball. Apply your logic consistently.

gdawgs101 not even that. Mid 80s would have been the tops. And no one threw the junk like they do today

Actually Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Brooklyn moved to the NL years before the AA folded. When the AA folded St Louis, Baltimore, Louisville and Washington transferred to the NL.

Right. When such a ridiculous error is committed in the first seconds of a video, one has very little desire to carry on watching

Ferdinand Cesarano Agreed. I couldn’t watch it after he said “1903” since I knew he’d have other facts wrong as well.

he also says 1886 is one year after the NL was formed.....just sad

Oneal Jordan Gonzales I feel like I've seen this before, seems a little.... stolen

Logan Knox JON BOOOOIIIIS REPRESENT

Oneal Jordan Gonzales WOOP WOOOP

Gimmick infringement!!!

Tristan Buder stop.you're breaking my heart cuz I bet it was my falcons

Malcolm.X.Machina Falcons blew a 28-3 lead, which is worse than 3-1

For real, I wanted this to be about the evolution of rules around the stolen base, not a biography.

Anthony Martinez sure but old Jacko broke it in the modern era

Salvation Sal Gaming By all accounts Jackie was the better player, hell in any era Jackie would be a top 3 player but I just wish Moses got a bit reconigtion

Anthony Martinez agreed

Didn't he predate the color barrier rather than break it?

@@renardmigrant ^^^^

TheNukeMan still very interesting.

Its still a 4 minute video. Get over it.

Good thing they didn't tell anything about the formation of the American League.

They've got some real old ones in their back catalogue with no comments at all

Holdenon3 national league started before major league then formed into the major league

Brandenv31 4, Hmm, you're tingling my memory circuits. The National League (out of the ashes the National Association) was declared to extant for the 1876 season. The American League (out of the ashes of the minor American League -- which came out of the ashes the minor Western League) declared itself to be a "major league" for the 1901 season. My understanding is that the terms "major" and "minor" league have to do with the league's teams willingness to pay top dollar for their players. BUT, I do recall that the term "Major League" (just to differentiate themselves from minor leagues) came into existence via a loose association between the National and American Leagues that required them to pay their players for post-season play (among other things). So, it may be correct to say that Major League Baseball, as an incorporated entity, began in 1903. But it churns my butter to suggest that major league baseball didn't exist in, say, 1884, when Old Hoss Radbourn won a record 59 games. I am, pending convincing argument to the contrary, willing to concede the factual point (that "Major League Baseball" "officially" began in 1903) to the presenter. But, I still contest his assertion that the year 1886 was one year after the formation of the National League. The National League began in 1876 and I see, watching the video again, that he did mention that 1877 was the first time stolen bases were "mentioned as a stat", then mentioned that 1886 was the first year that stolen bases were "consistently tracked". I am convinced, now, that the armchair editors of the text simply misplaced the phrase "a year after the formation of the National League". On first listen, I assumed it was shoddy research. Now I presume that it's sloppy scriptwriting. Still, that doesn't excuse the presenter from presenting falsity as fact. He should have caught that mistake as quickly as I did, so neither of us would've been embarrassed. :-D Cheers!

Holdenon3 As soon as he said that 1903 was when MLB formed I knew this video was gonna be full of poorly researched nonsense!

billygowhoop It's called having a flask. Makes things interesting. Although you gotta get a platic one these days.

Michael Imhoff Actually YOU’RE wrong! The National League (est. 1876) is considered the first “major” league with the A.L. starting as a major league in 1901. The 1903 World Series had nothing whatsoever to do with “unifying the leagues”.
