To obtain the score YOU rank the teams by how confident you are a team will win its game. EXAMPLE: Say this week we have 16 games. The team you are most confident will win you would assign the number 16 and follow down to the team you are least confident in and assign that number 1. You add up the TOTAL CORRECT PICKS.. That would be your score. We use the Monday night (Last game played) as a TIE BREAKER. The tie is broken by the closest to the total (that is the COMBINED score of the two participating teams) final score, without going over. YOU can adopt the scoring described above. Or, the optional method. A negative score for missed games. We will continue to get a positive score for correct predictions.

Larry Yount: The Pitcher Who Made MLB History Without Throwing a Pitch
🧾 Discover the incredible story of Larry Yount of the Houston Astros — the only MLB pitcher credited with an appearance without throwing a pitch. Learn how his short-lived career connects to Hall of Famer Robin Yount. Introduction Baseball is a sport of legends, records, and unforgettable moments. Yet among the thousands who have stepped onto a Major League field, few stories are as fascinating — or as heartbreaking — as that of Larry Yount. A promising young pitcher for the Houston Astros, Larry’s MLB career consisted of just one appearance — and remarkably, not a single pitch thrown. His story has become a permanent part of baseball lore, one that highlights both the fragility and the beauty of the game. ⚾ From Woodland Hills to the Big Leagues Born February 15, 1950, in Woodland Hills, California, Larry Yount was a tall, right-handed pitcher drafted by the Houston Astros in the 5th round of the 1968 MLB Draft. He showed strong potential in the minors, with a smooth delivery and command that drew comparisons to some of the league’s rising arms. By 1971, his hard work paid off — he was called up to the majors to join the Astros’ pitching staff in September. 🏟️ September 15, 1971: The Debut That Never Was That night, at the Astrodome, the Astros faced the Atlanta Braves. Late in the game, the public address announcer declared: “Now pitching for Houston — Larry Yount.” It was a moment every pitcher dreams of. Yount jogged to the mound, soaking in the sound of the crowd. But during his warm-up tosses, something was wrong. His elbow — sore for weeks — tightened up. The pain became unbearable. Before facing a single batter, he signaled to the dugout and left the game. Because he had already been officially announced, Major League Baseball recorded the outing as an appearance — even though he never threw a pitch. It remains one of the most unusual official lines in MLB history: Larry Yount — 1 game, 0 innings pitched, 0 pitches thrown. 💔 After the Game That Ended Before It Began Yount spent several more years trying to work his way back, pitching in the minors and rehabbing his arm. Unfortunately, the injury persisted. By 1976, he retired from professional baseball without ever officially recording a pitch in the big leagues. Still, his name endures — not for failure, but for uniqueness. Larry Yount remains the only MLB pitcher ever credited with an appearance without throwing a pitch. 🧢An Aside: The Yount Baseball Legacy Larry’s story becomes even more remarkable when you consider his family ties. His younger brother, Robin Yount, would go on to become a Hall of Famer and one of the most respected players of his era. Robin spent his entire 20-year career with the Milwaukee Brewers, racking up 3,142 hits, two MVP Awards, and a Hall of Fame induction in 1999. While Larry’s career was fleeting, Robin’s greatness ensured the Yount name would live forever in baseball history. And the baseball legacy didn’t end there — Larry’s son, Austin Yount, later played professionally in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, making it a three-generation baseball family. ⚙️ Legacy of Larry Yount Larry Yount’s story is a powerful reminder that even a momentary appearance in the major leagues represents the pinnacle of hard work and perseverance. For every Robin Yount, there’s a Larry Yount — a player who poured his heart into the game, only to have fate intervene. Yet even in those fleeting moments, history can be made. Larry Yount may not have thrown a pitch, but he earned his place in the record books — and in the hearts of baseball fans who love the stories that make the game what it is. Key Facts at a Glance Name: Larry Yount Team: Houston Astros Debut: September 15, 1971 MLB Appearances: 1 Pitches Thrown: 0 Unique Fact: Only player in MLB history credited with an appearance without throwing a pitch Family: Brother of Hall of Famer Robin Yount; father of minor leaguer Austin Yount Views: 3

To obtain the score YOU rank the teams by how confident you are a team will win its game. EXAMPLE: Say this week we have 16 games. The team you are most confident will win you would assign the number 16 and follow down to the team you are least confident in and assign that number 1. You add up the TOTAL CORRECT PICKS.. That would be your score. We use the Monday night (Last game played) as a TIE BREAKER. The tie is broken by the closest to the total (that is the COMBINED score of the two participating teams) final score, without going over. YOU can adopt the scoring described above. Or, the optional method. A negative score for missed games. We will continue to get a positive score for correct predictions. EXAMPLE: if you scored 1 pt on the first game and you had 15 pts on the second game and lost you would still have 1 pt. 1. HOWEVER. with the same scenario new scoring system would result with a –14 score If we were playing this is how my sheet would look; My pick will be in bold Capital letters. you can use circling, underlining, or highlighting. I will show my correct points in Bold I will fill in my picks Thursday. Until then feel free to: Just copy and paste for your own Fun Pool Use. Or to see if you can beat me.
