Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 06, 2020

Snoopy sure is as calm as a dormant volcano.

How is Snoopy anywhere close with as few runs as Charlie Brown’s team scores?

“You’ve got to learn to pace yourself. Pressure! One, two, three, four, pressure!”

The ironic part is and MAJOR SPOILER ALERT for you readers that don’t know the outcome of this plotline. Don’t read any further for your own good. But it is a psychic coincidence, but Hank Aaron also finished the season in 1973 needing only one home run to tie Ruth’s record!

Unless he’s out for an LBW…

Uh oh…

As cool as a cucumber, huh Snoopy?

With the way that the rest of the team hits, I thought Snoopy would be nearing the record for intentional walks…

And this was 25 years before the Sammy Sosa/Mark McGuire home run record battle.

Where’s Joe Cool when we need him? :D

Don’t ever remind Snoopy about the pressure. That always happens when someone is about to win.

Snoopy in the 4th panel == me. Every day.

You should have keep Snoopy in the dark about the record.

Aaron got a LOT of hate mail for trying to break Ruth’s record. Hopefully, Snoopy will avoid that part.

If that’s the case then CB should be winning a ton of games

I thought only little poodles shook and shivered?

How does a dog hold a baseball bat?

Sadly, Hank Aaron felt lots of pressure enduring a whole winter of death threats to him and his family simply because of the color of his skin!

Sadaharu Oh hit 868 career homers.

How could Snoopy have hit that many homers? I’ve never seen him hit even one in these strips. Maybe at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm in his BC days
