1969: Corkins Corked in Big-League Debut at Houston
September 8, 1969, Houston: Astros 9, Padres 2 (box score) Mike Corkins made his first big-league start on a Monday in the Astrodome. It could have gone better. Corkins, whom the Padres selected from the Giants with the 31st pick in the expansion draft, didn’t make it out of the second inning. Heck, he barely [...]

Decade of Ducksnorts
Yep, we’ve been here 10 years. That’s, like, 70 in Internet years. I was going to create a snazzy badge to commemorate the event, but what follows will be plenty self-indulgent on its own. Come, follow me… Old Incarnations I can’t find any versions earlier than 2000 (I probably have a few on a floppy [...]

September 6, 1969, San Diego: Padres 3, Dodgers 1 (box score) Clay Kirby and Don Sutton hooked up in the third of a four-game series at San Diego Stadium.
