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.”
