90SecondReCap provides a quick sports history lesson--often baseball, but not always--to go along with each day's cap.
It’s our first-ever save the date, for our July 26th episode, where we’ll discuss the little-known Charleston Baseball Riots, which occurred on that date in 1869. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it—and if you’re interested in baseball in Charleston, go back and check…
SMART KIDS RULE. And the @whitesox are gonna White Sox. #Cubs

Fidel Castro is known for many reasons—one of which is his supposed prowess at baseball. While the stories about his contract offers from the Giants, Reds, and others are apocryphal—COMPLETE fabrications—El Comandante did have one memorable evening as El Lanzador, on this night…
On this date in 2009, Mark Buehrle threw just the 18th perfect game in AL/NL history, blanking Tampa 5-0 at Comiskey. @NewEraCap @lids @Fanatics @whitesox @CHSN__ @CHSN_WhiteSox @CHGO_WhiteSox @ESPNChicago @chicagotribune @barstoolWSD @ChicagoSports @Suntimes @suntimes_sports…
1974 was a period of change and turbulence in our country. Tricky Dick resigned, still the only president in U.S. history to do so. Stagflation continued to cripple the economy, still reeling from the aftereffects of the previous year’s OPEC oil embargo. U.S. troops were…
Da Bears’ 1985 season began full of promise as the team reported to the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville for training camp on this date 40 years ago today—a season that would end with the club decimating the Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX. @ChicagoBears…
I’d missed this during the game, but check out Justin’s post, and then pop down to Jed’s clip. Ryno’s update absolutely led me to believe that his health had taken a turn, so let’s keep the fingers crossed that we’re all reading more into this than we should be.
I really hope I’m wrong, but I’m starting to think the #Cubs know more about Ryne Sandberg than we do 😔 Between Lester & Wood wearing his jersey this weekend and now Jed beginning his TV appearance with a heartfelt tribute…it almost feels final. PRAYERS FOR RYNO! 💙🙏🏽
47 years and one day before tonight’s WNBA All-Star Game, the world’s first women’s professional basketball league held its inaugural draft in New York City. @WNBA @UnderdogWNBA @jrnba @WNBAComms @NBA @WNBA_Toronto @Wnbawins @WNBATopShot @IONWNBA @BetWNBA @chicagosky…
The Brooklyn Dodgers’ Pete Reiser is a name you likely don’t know, but it wasn’t for lack of effort on his part. In fact, if he hadn’t tried so hard, he might be in the Hall of Fame. Instead, he almost died on the diamond. Multiple times. @Dodgers @DodgersNation @LosDodgers…
On the eve of tomorrow night’s WNBA All-Star Game, it’s instructive to look back on the FIRST women’s professional basketball league. Which wasn’t the WNBA, nor the ABL, nor even the short-lived WABA. No, it was the Women’s Professional Basketball League—the WBL—which held its…
No league of her own. Toni Stone was a woman before her time. Growing up in St. Paul, she played ball with the boys. Given her 1921 birth year, her timing coulda/shoulda/woulda been PERFECT to have taken part in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which…
