The entries record notable baseball events from 1919 through 2019, including games, record-breaking seasons, and legal actions. They note team relocation when the Braves left Boston for Milwaukee in 1952. Several individual achievements appear, including Eddie Mathews' 46 homers, Giancarlo Stanton reaching 59 homers, Pete Alonso breaking the rookie home run record, and Ted Williams finishing a .406 season. Pitching feats include Nolan Ryan's no-hitter and Orel Hershiser's 59-inning scoreless streak.
