36h Saint Eustache

"To move the pools, sometimes it is not enough. A solid groovy bass line, a metronomic rhythm, and intoxicating melodies are enough to activate everything. The duo Klaus Johann Grobe understood this well, and, since 2014, has been constantly improving the recipe for their krautpop, formidable in effectiveness.

In the Saint-Eustache church, the duo's heady melodies and their dreamy hypnotic synth loops plunge the audience into a sweet trance. We can't help but start to go from one foot to the other on their tube Ja!, Which reminds us of the great hours of Metronomy. Under warm lighting, the church vibrates throughout the evening, responding to the song of the Swiss-German group. Concert captured in June 2019 at the 36h Saint-Eustache festival in Paris."

June 7: The Ultimate Garden Clash - Combined Events Edition | Livestream (this is a live event, contested at different locations).

The Ultimate Garden Clash series continues on Sunday 7 June with a trans-continental meeting of combined events titans. 

Decathlon world record-holder Kevin Mayer, world champion Niklas Kaul and world silver medallist Maicel Uibo will square off from their training bases in Montpellier, France, Mainz, Germany, and Clermont, Florida, in a unique virtual triathlon that combines strength, speed and stamina to mirror a gruelling combined events competition. 

The competition will begin with the pole vault where the athletes will attempt to clear 4.00m as many times as possible during a 10-minute period. 

They'll then move on to the shot put where the challenge is to send the 7.26kg iron ball beyond a 12-metre line as often as possible, again during a 10-minute period. 

The triathlon concludes with a shuttle run competition in which two cones are placed 20 metres apart, with the athletes collecting points for each completed back-and-forth shuttle over the course of five minutes. The points scored in each event will be tallied to crown the overall winner.

The hour-long event gets underway at 5pm CEST (weather permitting). 

The format will be a little demanding because we are not used to the [endurance aspect] of it. We are ‘sprinters’, endurance is harder for us. I don’t know how it is going to be, but I think Niklas will be good at that and we’ll have to fight against him." - Kevin Mayer

June 9: Roy Crabb: Pitcher, White Sox, Athletics (1912)

June 9: Red Nelson: Pitcher, Browns, Phillies, Reds (1910-1913). Pitcher in the first game of doubleheader against Cleveland at the end of the 1910 season. Nap Lajoie famously got 8 hits in doubleheader to edge out Ty Cobb (who sat out
the last two games) for the batting title. It was suggested that the Browns allowed Lajoie's hits because of an intense dislike of Cobb, shared by every other American League team, as well of many of his Tiger teammates. Nelson tells a different story. 

June 9: Cal Hogue: Pitcher, Pirates (1952-1954). Pitched for two of the worst teams of all time, that lost 216 games in 1952-53. Joe Garagiola was also on that team.

June 8: EiC València 14/03/1999. Pilota Valenciana--VIII Bancaixa Circuit Professional FINAL: Sarasol I-Sarasol II (red) v Pigat I-Pigat II-Sanchis (blue) (commentary is in Catalan).

The match was contested at Trinquet Pelayo (Wikipedia) which has hosted Valencian Pelota since 1868, with the exception of a short period during the Spanish Civil War. In that time, 5 players have made it's "wall of honor". 

Pilota Godella: Videos ; Playlists (look for EiC)

There are two basic differences between Valencian and Basque Pelota (Wikipedia and see my Basque Pelota Updates blog for much more detail on the 14 Basque Pelota sports).

1. There are no implements used in VC. All VC sports are played with the naked  hand (taping of the hands is allowed, but no gloves).

2. All but one Valencian sports are direct sports, that is, the opponents face each other, indoors on a Trinquet court that is between 50 and 60 meters (55-65 yards) long, or on a street (or Triquet built to emulate a street) that can be up to 80 meters (87 yards long). All Valencian pilota sports are scored like tennis, 4 points to win, and the winning team must win by 2 (most sports are played with 2-5 players on a team). They are played to a specified number of games, rather than in sets (EiC is best 8 of 15, Raspall is best 5 out of 9, etc.).

Some sports are played with a net, others with a demarcation line between the teams. and others are territorial, with the offense trying to get as close to the defense’s end before trying to blast the pilota by them.

Two of the sports (Escala I Corda (Stairs and Rope) and Raspall (Scrape—watch and see why) are played professionally.

Candlepin bowling is an incredibly difficult variation of the sport. It is 10 pin bowling but the pins are tall and narrow and the ball weighs 4 pounds (with no holes). Players get 3 shots to knock down all the pins. It is scored exactly like bowling except that all pins down on 3 shots is a score of 10 with no carryover. The highest score ever achieved in candlepin is 245. A 150 average is Hall of Fame stuff.
