Rav Jonathan asks, what is the first day of spring? Rav Gabriel says, when the trees begin to bud. Rav Joshua says, when pitchers and catchers return to spring training. The halacha is according to Rav Joshua.
It happened that a baseball was found marked Mem-Lamed-Resh. They brought it to Rav Papi, who brought it to the elders. One might believe it belonged to Miller. Don't read "Miller," rather "Mueller." Rav David says "Millar."
We are required to remember the day of the Red Sox breaking the curse of the Bambino "all the days of our lives." Rav Michael says "the days of your life" refers to day games; "all the days of your life" includes night games as well. The chachamim say "the days of your life" tells us we should remember during the regular season; "all the days of your life" comes to include the playoffs.

Beit Shammai says, it is cheating to not make the pitcher also hit.
The American league follows the teachings of Beit Hillel; the National League follows Beit Shammai. Not until the Mashiach comes will the dispute be resolved.
