Re: footnote 1: that’s a lot of talent on one Minor League team! Very interesting post today, Paul! Talk about a perfect storm of bad incidents! We just take it for granted that there are vaccines - (unless you’re RFK Jr, lol!)
It's true, nobody in the United States worries about hepatitis like this any more, and it isn't because the virus retired.
A very interesting "What If..." scenario here with the 1970 Dodgers and their Spokane understudies. Just a little nudge and it's one of the most famous moments in sports and there's surely a movie about it by now.

Didn't Singer complete a no-hitter on July 20, 1970, 5-0 over the Phillies?
The Dodgers didn't play on July 23, 1970.
He sure did--I was hoping someone would add that. The comeback continued after the story ended.
Typo there as to the date of the 7-0 Big H victory. It was June 23. Thanks for catching, Paul.
