Need a baseball fix


Recommended Posts

July 2, 2007. Newly acquired Lance Odom is pitching for the Lancaster (Pa) Barnstormers against the Somerset Patriots. Bottom of the 12th inning. Game tied 6-6.

*Odom hits the leadoff man, former Met 2B Danny Garcia.

*Odom commits an error on a pickoff attempt; Garcia advances to second base.

*Sacrifice bunt; Garcia advances to third base.

And with one out and a runner on third, the fun begins. Watch as Odom tries to intentionally walk the next two batters in order to load the bases

Scott Boras, agent for Rick Ankiel in negoiations with St. Louis Cardinals actually used the below quote.

You have a player whose contributions came first as a pitcher, then as a position player," the agent said. "The last player you're really talking about is Babe Ruth."

Agent Scott Boras Loses his Mind

Ankiel and Babe Ruth.  :-[ I knew Boras was an idiot. I just can't stand that guy.

In 1948, Ernie Harwell became the only announcer in baseball history to be traded for a player when the Brooklyn Dodgers' general manager, Branch Rickey, traded catcher Cliff Dapper to the Crackers in exchange for breaking Harwell's broadcasting contract. (Harwell was brought to Brooklyn to substitute for regular Dodger announcer Red Barber, who was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer.)
