Player whose "in Cycle" HR was a Grand Slam

Only one NL player ever did this. Bill Terry. NY Giants. May 29, 1928

In the AL it has been done 7 times. 4 times since 1993.

...and lost the batting title to Ty Cobb.

Talking heads all already slipping the grease way.

I hear talking heads saying criminal charges are unlike against Shitler. All political stuff. Congress will have to take up the fight.

Comparison to the 10 pound tome dropped on Clinton from Puritan Starr this report could be small by comparison.

Make me retch continually.

A pitcher(s) you would not dug in against in the batters box.

Sal Maglie, Bob Gibson, Dick the Monster Radatz, or Don Drysdale.

Fernando Valenzuela

Holds the NL record for most shut outs thrown by a rookie pitcher.

8

That is also the AL record.

Does anyone know where Granny Starver Ryan landed?

I figure it's lobbying somewhere.

Humor for the Day

The greatest director in the world passes away and goes to heaven where he meets St. Peter.

Director: It's great I've made it to heaven because I was so done with the movie business.

St. Peter: Oh my. God wanted you to direct his movie when you got here.

Director: No. Tell him I'm done with the movie business. Finished over.

St. Peter: Let me say we have Michelangelo creating the sets, Da Vinci doing special effects, and we have Shakespeare writing the script.

Director: Well. If you got Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and the Bard on the project count me in as the Director.

St. Peter: There is one thing, I have this cousin who sings.

This is why you need a wire when talking with Shitler.

snip:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied a report that he had enquired about whether a U.S. attorney could un-recuse himself in a case against former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

There will be no "Nixon" tapes, at least up till now.

A more serious article about baseball

Quite a read.

snip:
In late February 2015, Gabe Kapler, then the Dodgers’ director of player development, called one of his lieutenants, assistant director of player development Nick Francona. He shared some alarming news. Kapler told Francona that “Something had gone on” at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Glendale, Ariz., the team hotel just a few miles from the Dodgers’ spring training complex.
