Link of the Week (or Whenever): 24
June 25th, 2008
June 25, 2008 — Periodically I stumble upon a video, story or graphic that just makes me laugh out loud. This one, which I found on Ben’s Biz Blog at MiLB.com, is a hysterically funny, time-plotted journal of the baseball charity event from h*ll: 24.
The lede-in gives you a good idea of how the whole thing went overall:
24 straight hours of baseball. 12 games in a row. No sleep. Lots of pain. Three players sent to the hospital for X-rays (seriously). All in the name of $15,000 raised for charity. (And it’s not too late…you can still make a donation!)

That said, I highly recommend you read the entire blog for color(ful) commentary, game-by-game analyses and (very) memorable quotes.
I’ll leave you with my favorite player insight:
“I don’t care how many kids we helped. I’m never doing this again.” –Pat Toy, 1B
Bye for now!

I somehow overlooked this in my original post. There are video highlights! These include a preview show, player Q&A and game footage: Brooklyn Cyclones TV.
