Elephant Rumblings: Minor League Playoffs, Instructionals, and Cheating

Prospect Watch:

ICYMI:

• Will Middlebrooks, who is apparently still playing baseball, becomes the first player ever to record pinch-hit triples in both games of a doubleheader...

Today in Baseball History:

• 1912 - Eddie Collins steals a 20th-century record six bases as the Athletics beat Detroit 9-7. He will repeat the feat on September 22nd.
• 1954 - If you think the attendance woes are bad at the Coliseum, the Senators drew just 460 fans in their 5-4 win over the A’s.
