In his book, "Now Pitching, Bob Feller," Feller writes about that chase:Īs the strikeouts continued to mount in '46, I stayed with the pitch that brought me there. Why? Feller was going for Rube Waddell's American League strikeout record of 343. He pitched 79 innings that month and started seven of Cleveland's final 17 games. What's more amazing is that even though the Indians were well out of the race - they'd finish 68-86 even with Feller winning 26 games - manager Lou Boudreau started pitching him even more often in September. He struck out at least 10 batters 12 times, which sounds even more impressive when you realize all other major league starters combined to do that just 20 times (nine of those by Hal Newhouser). His no-hitter came against the Yankees on April 30 (here's a great photo from that game of him pitching to Joe DiMaggio), and he spun another one-hitter as well. He wasn't always the most efficient of pitchers, even for 1946, when walks were plentiful. He pitched a one-hitter - with nine walks and nine strikeouts. He started again on July 31 against the Red Sox. On July 28, he threw a shutout against the Senators, striking out 10. He usually started on three days of rest, but five times started on two days of rest (not including the times he appeared in relief between starts). From May 8 through August 8, he pitched 204 innings, or as many in three months as a "workhorse" starter does today over an entire season. Going through Feller's game logs produces more fascinating numbers. That's 2,118 more than the 3,730 that MLB leader David Price threw in 2014. Using a basic pitch count estimator, we guess that Feller threw 5,848 pitches that year. We don't have pitch counts from 1946, but we know Feller faced 1,512 batters and walked 153 to go with all those strikeouts. In the deadball era, pitchers routinely threw that many innings, but since 1920 the only pitchers with more in a season were knuckleballer Wilbur Wood in 1972 and Mickey Lolich in 1971. He even saved four games for good measure. ![]() He started 42 games and completed 36 of them, throwing 10 shutouts. He went 26-15 with a 2.18 ERA and 348 strikeouts, but that's not even the fun stuff. We had a sixth-place ballclub, but Bill Veeck bought the ballclub and made some trades, and in 1948, we won the World Series."įeller's numbers from that season are mind-boggling from a modern perspective. "That was my best year," he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 2006. In 1946, he started the season with a three-hit, 10-strikeout shutout, kicking off what he called his greatest season. In 1940, the Hall of Fame right-hander threw the only Opening Day no-hitter in MLB history. Take Bob Feller, the legendary fireballer of the Cleveland Indians, and owner of maybe the fastest fastball the game has ever seen. ![]() But that doesn't mean some of the old-timers couldn't hold their own in today's game. Pitchers are throwing harder than ever before. #TBT: How fast was Bob Feller's fastball?

A franchise played by more than 10 million people, now arrived at Xbox One and Windows 10. ![]() ![]() ![]() These top vinyl picks are in no particular order, and I have actually given a little more precedent to some that I think are worthy of your attention, some that you might not otherwise have heard before and which you might enjoy that little bit more. So, without further ado, let us all take a stroll down memory lane as we explore and elucidate some of the 45 RPM singles which, over the years, have come to garner a considerable amount more attention than others and which, in turn, have come to accrue a considerable amount more money at auction. And some are permanently bound up in that world, lost in their vinyl collection. Recorded music has come a hell of a long way since these early days where the spinning of a little disc was all that mattered and was all that was needed to get the youth of the day riled up. These recordings, thus, fetch a considerable sum of money, so much so that a record collector will probably not even play them. Even the operators preferred music on a disc like this too, for, owing to their smaller size, they could offer more songs for their listening public to choose from.Īs time has gone by since the original golden age of vinyl recording technology, certain songs and sounds have gone on to acquire a mythological status, either because or as a result of their becoming so rare. They were especially enjoyed at a time when music lovers would flock to bars and cafes to spin records on the jukebox. With a smaller hole in the middle making them easier to stack and play continuously, they were an instant hit with almost all comers. These old records were released first in 1949 by the esteemed RCA records, whose name precedes them in the United States, and who sought to release them in the United Kingdom the following year. But how many of you know the proper story of how long do vinyl records last? So, record collectors among you ought to know that these 45 rpm records are commonly referred to in the biz as ‘singles’ because, with around 5 minutes of playing time on each side when spun at 45 rpm, they do not offer much more space on each of their sides than for one or two songs. Whatever your reason, you have come to the right place, for today we will be taking a stroll down memory lane to explore some of the rarest 7 inch records still circulating the annals of vintage sales and record stores today. Just emptied out your attic and looking to see whether you have unearthed some dusty gold? Or, perhaps you have been flicking through your elderly relatives’ record collection and want to see just how much you might be able to fetch for some of the gems lurking within? ![]() ![]() A man slams a teen boy's face onto a floor and a second man smashes the boy's left hand with the bottom of a fire extinguisher the boy screams and curls up in a ball, his hand bruised red and splotchy. ► A man rushes up to a stopped car, breaks out the passenger side glass, and kidnaps a teen boy while another man breaks the driver side glass, stabs a man in the side and runs away (the victim groans and grabs his bleeding side) the wounded man goes to a washroom and tapes toilet paper over the cut with tape when another man enters and the first man shouts and slams the other man against a wall. ![]() ► A car chases an SUV with squealing tires on a street at night until the SUV runs into a concrete wall and the car stops three armed and masked men emerge from the SUV and two armed men exit the car to have a gunfight with many loud shots and muzzle flashes (a man is struck in the forehead, which shows blood, and falls backward off-screen) and the two men from the car drive away with a bag full of 25 kilos of cocaine (we later see blood on the SUV and several bullet holes in the metal). ► A man wearing only boxer shorts hangs by his feet from a batting cage frame as two men fire tennis balls into his face and chest (he suffers bruises and a bloody nose) a man loads and sticks a large handgun's muzzle into the victim's mouth, then spits in his face and we see the spray, then a man with a knife threatens to cut out the victim's tongue and two men stand in front of the victim, blocking him from view as we hear a muffled scream a man later receives a box, opens it below the frame (we do not see it) and gags as another man says it is the tongue of his cousin as a reminder of what can happen to people who do not follow instructions.

In the episode " Pete's House of Villains", he and Bambi were angered when Pete insulted Flower by saying that the club stinks, especially him. In the episode " Timon and Pumbaa", Thumper was going to be used by Timon for his "pull a rabbit out of a hat" trick, though Thumper thumped Timon's face and ran off. Thumper makes numerous cameo appearances in the animated series House of Mouse. In Mickey Mouse Works, Thumper makes two cameos in the Donald Duck short " Donald's Charmed Date". In the 1988 feature film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit mentions his uncle Thumper, implying that Roger Rabbit might be Thumper's nephew. Thumper was set to have his own show as a part of The Disney Afternoon block entitled Thumper's Thicket, although the idea for the show never really developed and is one of few ideas for Disney Afternoon shows that never made it off the drawing board. In the end, Thumper tells the story of the climactic dog chase to Faline, and other members of the forest, though he exaggerates it to make him seem like more of the hero. At the climax of the film, Man's dogs hunt down Bambi, and Thumper pitches in to help by telling Flower to make his "brave face" which causes him to let out his stink. Throughout the film, Thumper gives Bambi lessons on how to impress the Great Prince and prove that he can be mighty as well.Īs a side plot in the film, Thumper is constantly being followed by his sisters, though he finds them to be rather annoying. ![]() During this time, Bambi finds it to be very difficult to connect with his father, and Thumper offers to help. ![]() With his mother gone, Bambi is to live with his father, The Great Prince of the Forest, until a suitable replacement mother is found. The events in Bambi II take place after the death of Bambi's mother but before Bambi's young adulthood. Both newly named fathers make way for Faline's den to witness the birth of Bambi's children, with Bambi now assuming the role as Great Prince of the Forest. Sometime after, Thumper has revealed to have children of his own, as well as Flower. Soon after, Bambi would fall for his childhood friend Faline. Eventually, a female bunny becomes smitten with Thumper, and she begins to flirt, luring him into her lap. Disgusted by the sight, Thumper and Bambi continue on. ![]() The three claim they'll never fall victim to this, and make their way through the forest.Īs their walk becomes longer, Flower falls for a female skunk. It is Springtime and Friend Owl, a good friend to Bambi's family, warns the trio about the "dangers" of becoming twitterpated (falling in love). The next scene takes place years after with a now young adult Thumper, Bambi, and Flower. Young Adult Thumper in the original film. Later on, Bambi's mother is tragically killed by Man. However, Thumper's mother forces him to eat the grass as well, being that it's healthier.ĭuring the winter, Thumper teaches Bambi how to ice-skate, which proves to be rather difficult for the young prince. On another day, Bambi is out with his mother when Thumper appears again, telling him to eat blossoms and not grass. During one of these lessons, Bambi and Thumper meet and befriend a skunk named Flower. Thumper and Bambi quickly form a friendship, and Thumper takes it into his hands to teach Bambi the ropes, such as how to walk and talk. One beautiful day in the forest, a doe gave birth to Bambi, the young prince of the forest. As a kitten, Thumper's left incisor is missing, whereas as a buck, he has both incisors and a set of whiskers. The insides of his long ears and his nose are pink, his cheeks, feet, belly, and the areas around his eyes are cream. Thumper is a rabbit kitten with gray fur, hazel eyes, a white tail, a white muzzle, white incisors, and white patch of fur on his chest. As a young adult, he hasn't changed much and continues to speak rather loud and thumps his left or right foot. He often gives his close friends advice on a handful of topics but they usually get them into trouble. Unlike Bambi, Thumper can be rather mischievous but ultimately means well. As voiced by then 4-year-old Peter Behn, the vivacious character of Thumper was expanded from its original minor role and led to a focus on the young animals in the story. The character was an important influence on the development of the 1942 film, Bambi, which started production with an adult tone that seemed too serious and non-commercial. He was the first and closest friend of Prince Bambi, whom he sees as great potential for amazing things taking the young fawn "under his wings" and teaching him the ways of the forest, to some extent. Despite being mistaken for a female by viewers, he is actually male. Thumper is a young, comical rabbit and is also a well-known inhabitant of the forest. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is located about 30 miles to the east via Highway 40 and has 59 campsites with hookups.

Hello, I am new to this forum so I apologize as this is yet another performance question but I'm at my wits end with this issue. ![]() ![]() Many of the tasks in the tutorial area can't actually be accomplished, since the items you're asked to locate aren't available, or the tasks themselves have broken or buggy scripting. The developers plan to introduce a quest system, but right now you're limited to taking on simplistic tasks, such as killing a particular number of a type of creature or finding a specific resource, and these tasks offer only monetary rewards. There's a rudimentary ecology at work, as predators will attack herbivores they run across. ![]() Characters also have an extremely limited inventory capacity, so it's generally impossible to carry enough resources or crafted items to maintain a decent mercantile lifestyle. Player-crafted goods are far superior to any available for purchase from NPCs, but there's no auction or marketplace feature, so you're forced to spam the chat system to buy or sell goods. In other words, after acquiring 10 levels in crafting, your character will likely be able to craft only a couple of pieces of armor and a basic weapon. Harvesting is extremely time-consuming and dull, generally taking over a minute to obtain a single resource item, and the special abilities you can acquire to improve your efforts are poorly explained.Ĭrafting is similarly dreary, since you have to acquire a new skill plan for each item you want to craft, and each plan costs three levels' worth of crafting experience points. Once engaged in combat, it's generally impossible to retreat, since character movement is slow and angry creatures will pursue you indefinitely unless you trap them on landmarks or lure them to NPC guards. The melee combat looks dull and consists of only simplistic animations and uninspired special attacks such as "increase accuracy 3." Magic combat is more involved, and eventually features some massively damaging area-of-effect spells that are atypical in an MMORPG, but it's initially so badly underpowered that the developers are planning some significant rebalancing. Ryzom's biggest problem is that there really isn't anything to do in the game other than work on improving character stats, and doing so is far more monotonous than engaging. As a result, players tend to develop jack-of-all-trades characters, and there's little incentive to create more than one character, although the developers intend to introduce further differentiation between races. Choosing to develop one group of skills does not limit your ability to learn the others, so devoted players could eventually develop a character who has fully mastered all available skills. For instance, after gaining 20 levels of skill in basic crafting, your character can then develop an additional 30 levels of more-specialized armor crafting or melee-weapon crafting. Once your character attains a rudimentary degree of competence in a basic skill group, you gain access to more-specialized and more-powerful skills to develop. There are four playable humanoid races to choose from, and instead of offering a rigid class-development system, the game allows characters to develop skills in four basic skill groups (combat, magic, harvesting, and crafting). ![]() The setting has an intriguing background plot that involves the humanoid races recovering from being overrun by a horde of marauding Starship Troopers-ish insects called the Kitin. ![]() It's set in a colorful, original setting that's thankfully devoid of typical fantasy-world creatures and characters. Ryzom was released earlier this year in Europe, so it's surprising that the game is still missing so many promised features. There's some graphical eye candy in Ryzom, including the convincing water effects. While Ryzom may eventually evolve into a more interesting game, right now most of its novel features have yet to be fully implemented, so its gameplay consists almost exclusively of tediously improving character attributes. Its unrefined gameplay is too simplistic to have enduring appeal and yet, paradoxically, its character-development system is needlessly complex. The Saga of Ryzom is the latest unfinished massively multiplayer role-playing game to be inflicted upon gamers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are concerned that your snake is losing weight, it certainly wouldn’t be a bad thing to schedule an appointment with a herp vet at this time. Males tend to display more semi-arboreal behaviors, whilst females tend towards terrestrial behaviors. They prefer having a dark place to hide during the day, and emerge at night to hunt for their prey. Also, if you can bring in a fresh fecal sample (you can refrigerate it until you get to the vet’s office), that would help facilitate fecal testing. Ball pythons are nocturnal and solitary creatures.
