On the last day of the 2021 regular
season, Yankees' SS Gio Urshela made a
dramatic -- and life-threatening --
catch on a popup by Rays LF Austin
Meadows with 2 outs in the top of the
6th. Urshela, running full speed, made
the catch and then flew down the
concrete steps into the Rays' dugout,
emerging moments later with only bumps
and bruises -- and the ball. (Photo:

For 300 Club
Members, it was a challenging year, with
more players missing time due to injury
and illness than any time in memory,
resulting in many players failing to
reach the MLB minimum 502 Plate
Appearances. Hence, for the first time
ever, less than half of Member Ballots
qualified for the Batting Contest
(however, ALL ballots qualify for the
other contests). While MLB only needs 2
batters (one from each league) to
qualify for the MLB batting titles, 300
Club Members must choose 13 batters, and
hope that 10 qualify -- proving what we
all know: Our Club is one tough contest.
See you in 2022!
