A short update this week, with the All-Star break limiting the number of games played on the week, but not the number of records set! Only the Rays were outdrawn by a handful of minor league teams last week, a big improvement over most weeks. The short overview:
MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Tampa (outdrawn by 4 AAA games)
MLB teams outdrawn by AA teams: Tampa (outdrawn by 1 AA game)
MLB teams outdrawn by Single-A teams: None!
The other big story of the week is the NL blanking the AL 5-0 in the ejections race. After doubts were raised last week about whether the NL could hold their dwindling lead, the Senior Circuit proved me wrong by getting rung up in three different games last week. The AL remains in striking distance, only seven ejections behind.
Besides that, it was hot in Texas last weekend. The three Rangers games were 107, 107, and 102 degrees at game start, though that 102 degree game actually ended with 108 degree temps. Those 107 degree games sit in third place in hottest baseball games OF ALL TIME, with the first two being Rangers games at the Ballpark in Arlington, both 109 degrees at game start.
Besides THAT, the Oakland A’s had the highest attendance of any MLB game this season, drawing 56,310 for their Saturday game against the cross-bay rival Giants. What a time to be alive, the A’s are setting records for high attendance.
Now finally, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
