Good. If nothing else but for the internal politics of it.
The Curia’s Lenten Spiritual Exercises will take place from Feb. 22-27. It has been revealed that they will take place in the Pauline Chapel, not in the Redemptoris Mater Chapel. The decision, made by Pope Leo, was linked to the fact of the Rupnik mosaics that are featured in it. pic.twitter.com/kFHJjbl0hV

[NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.]
when i still followed MLB i saw in person a rare one not on the list: a perfect game through nine, but then Pedro Martinez gave up a hit in bottom of tenth. expos at sad diego in June 1995
Unlisted is something that happened in a July 31, 1972 White Sox versus Twins game that I listened to on the radio (with Harry Caray announcing): a single batter, Dick Allen, hit two inside the park homeruns in the same game. It had previously happened only once before, in 1939. It has happened since only once, also in a White Sox – Twins game. That game was in 1986 and it was a Twins hitter, Greg Gagne, who hit the two inside the park home runs. Crazy thing is that Bert Blyleven gave up the two inside the park homeruns to Dick Allen in 1972 and was also the winning pitcher in the 1986 game in which Greg Gagne hit two inside the park homeruns.
I instantly recognized the first one on the list, as I saw it on TV. St. Louis Cardinal Fernando Tatis’ 2 grand slams in one inning. I had to look up the year (1999).
I had the good fortune to see a 4-home-run game in 2007. Doubly sweet because it was the Red Sox vs the Yankees. Can you confirm for my team with your ontological insight that they Yankees are actually damned? :)
Pitcher giving up four consecutive home runs: 2
Paul Foytack (1963)
Chase Wright (2007)
I seem to recall as a kid (later 1970s) a World Series game where a certain player hit three home runs in one game. There’s alot of serendipity for one player to have that happen.
Years ago I remember going to a Rangers game where a storm was coming in and we all had to run to the ground level and I remember another time watching an in-person game that went 15 or 16 innings. Good times.
