Schnauz, its meant to be a ONE SHOT. Not a short series. Because you’re shit at completing series.

But... mutual pining... slow burn...

Sigh

FUUUUUUCK

Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, May 28, 1939. Boston Bees manager Casey Stengel coaching 3rd base in first inning of a 16-12 loss to Dodgers. The Bees was a name that the Boston Braves went by for six years or so.

The line totals for both teams are given as 28 runs, 28 hits, 13 BBs, 1 SO, 5 errors, 8 pitchers, 91 plate appearances. DURATION OF GAME: 1 hour and 50 minutes. I know the pace was faster then (no need to break for commercials), but the time still seems amazing.

Can you tell me about 'Boston Bees'?

It was inspired by a Chris Evans insta story he did months ago where he looked all soft and cuddly whilst wearing plaid. My brain connected two dots and decided he needed to be a bee keeper. I'm going for fluffy smut with *mutual pining* for this one, here's a little snippet;

Nodding you watched as he pulled a honey stirrer from an open jar, before nodding to a basket of freshly cut bread to which you picked a piece, holding it out as he drizzled the liquid gold over the soft crumb, a small drip landing on your finger. Swapping hands you licked it off your skin before trying it on the bread, the soft flavours hitting your taste buds and making you let out a quiet moan;

“Oh this is so good! I could just lick it off of skin its so good!…”

The farmer actually blushed a little at your words and you didn’t know what to say, instead just stuffing the rest of the bread into your mouth and you nodded, muttering like a hamster with its cheeks stuffed that you’d take a jar of it. Noticing that he had other products you moved your attention to those, taking in the beeswax candles before you spotted some waxy fabric squares;

“What are these if you don’t mind me asking?”

“Beeswax Wraps, they’re reusable food wraps, rather than using single use plastic”

“How do they work? They seem really stiff” you frowned at the one in your hand

“Let me show you” he lifted the wrap from your grasp and set an empty bowl on the table in front of you, holding the wrap over it he slowly smoothed it down until it wrapped around the bowl.

“Oh i see! Can i try?”

He passed you another wrap and you tried to mimic his actions, but the fabric wouldn’t behave;

“Why won’t it work?” you muttered to yourself, however you were surprised when he laid his hands over the top of yours;

“You just need to hold it a little longer, let the heat from your palms soften the wax”

You were transfixed by the sheer size of his hands as they covered your own, warm and a little rough from working manual labour, you could have stayed like that all day. When he finally pulled away you had to stop yourself whining at the loss of his touch, but when you looked down your wrap was securely holding around the bowl;

On this date in Baseball History On June 11, 1938: at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Johnny Vander Meer walked three while striking out four and allowing no hits against the Boston Bees aka Boston Braves. This would be the first of two consecutive no-hitters for Vander Meer. "The Dutch Master" would be the only pitcher to hurl two consecutive no-hitters.
