I just typed the sentence "Homer Bailey has two no hitters." and I felt bad because Tom Seaver only has one.

Tom probably ok with his accomplishments

Very good!

Brooks had an elbow that sagged about 5 inches below the bone....it was disgusting.

During fall ball my freshman year he called me in from CF during practice. Said he wanted to see my pitching skills and had me throw BP.....250 pitches and an hour later in the upper 40’s temps, my arm could barely get the ball to the catcher. Not the foggiest idea what he was thinking.

Sounds like he was thinking about blowing your arm out!

Always had the “rubber” arm until then....then it just hurt like everyone else’s after a lot of throws. It assed me up for a few months.

Question #232

This player is the only player to lead the American League in total bases 4x since 1947.

Jim Rice? A-Rod?

Jim Rice? A-Rod? 

How the shit did you guess Jim Rice? 
 

Rice is the answer

Question #233

This middle infielder really didn’t have much of a career in baseball but was a .400 hitter off of Dennis Eckersley, so maybe something to be proud of in his athletic career.

Rice is the answer

Lol, thought of guys who led league in HR and also had a lot of 2B. Plus, he was over 200 hits a few times and lots of triples. 

Even better, I just looked at A-Rod did it also 4x!!! 2/2 on first try!

Bucky Dent?
