July 27 – On this day in Montana
history in 1906 the Carbon County Joliet Journal reported that a “game of
baseball between Joliet and Carbonado proved a sensational and spectacular
event.” Proving that taunting and
“dissing” opponents is nothing new, the paper said “the Carbonado team was
handicapped from the start on account of having became used to pitching hay and
plowing beets.” It said the score “stood 2 to 24” when “the Joliet runners
became so tired they could run no more.”
