It appears that the statement in ACB is not entirely clear.

The pairings for rounds 1-9 of the tournament were published in various sources:

Round 1: Brooklyn Daily Eagle, August 18,1 915

Rounds 2-3: BDE, 8/19

Rounds 4-5: New York Sun, 8/20

Rounds 6-7: BDE, 8/21

Rounds 8-9: BDE, 8/22

I could not find a complete list of games for rounds 10-11, only a mention of the games involving Showalter and Whitaker. The list in the collection was from one of my infamous Berger Table reconstructions, which I did chiefly in an attempt to determine colors. (The reports always give winner's name first, regardless of color.) This matched all the known facts, but can't by itself be counted on for the pairings in the last two rounds.

However, we can make certain deductions:

1) Platten's last two opponents were Widmeyer and Fry

2) We have reports stating that Widmeyer played and defeated Whitker in round 11, the final round;

3) Therefore, Platten and Widmeyer must have played in round 10;

4) Therefore, Platten and Fry were scheduled to play in round 11.

Should I stay up and see if the Padres can score? I kid, I kid. I know there weren't huge hopes in San Diego but how depressing is it to see your team go scoreless its first 24 innings of the season? And, yes, no team has been shut out its first three games.>

Both times as a pinch-hitter.

And from opposite sides of the plate.

1) What's a major league? Does the National Association of 1871-1875 count?

2) What's a save?

3) Is this when saves were officially counted, or does it mean saves retroactively assigned by history?

According to Wikipedia, the first Official Save was credited to the star of this video:

Last year, I was able to re-sell tickets to two separate events and make a little pub beer money.

This year, I bought two tickets, to 6 separate SFG games, with the intent to make more pub beer money.

Last year, SFG did not accept ticket on smart phone StubHub app, this year, they do. About 3 weeks ago, someone bought my tickets to tonight's LAD/SFG game. (Fireworks night)

Right now, about 50 minutes to first pitch, prices on StubHub for this game have fallen 45% prices in the section that I had sold, is now lower than what the buyer had paid me.

If you are a savvy buyer, I'd stand outside AT&T Park, buy your tickets with 20 minutes to go before first pitch.

I just hope I can make some money on my remaining tickets, before everyone catches on to this.

Else I'm going to a lot of Giants game this year, against A's (2 games) Cubs (2), Dodgers, and Pittsburgh...

Toronto hit a grand slam to lead 7-2, but lose 8-7. All 3 losses have been due to the bullpen blowing a lead late.

Dodgers also lose a lead, losing 3-2. :( They also lead 4-0 at one point last game. I hate even years. Kershaw vs. MadBum today.
