I just want to say... this ain't new
Unrelatedly, I love "do pitching" and "drive runners across plate" in the headlines.
wasn't sure if the "red ruffing" headline was going to be about the world series or the soviet army

The ones that get me most are the few I've seen where, on the same day, a news outlet will have a story like "James Murders Thompson in Last Nights No-Holds Barred Debate" next to "Mail Bombs Sent To Top Democrats."
the date is hard to see but that's the 1939 world series
