BruceH Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 Anyone else do the "see games in as many ballparks as you can" thing? I've attended MLB games at: Tiger Stadium Comerica Park Wrigley Field Old Comiskey New Comiskey (or whatever it's called now) County stadium (saw McWire hit a homer there on his way to 70) Memorial Stadium (saw the 1979 playoffs and World Series) Cinergy Field Tropicana Field PNC Park I'm aiming to add the Jake to the list this summer. You the man! Come to SF sometime and see a game in Pacbell Park (or whatever they're calling it now.) The new ballpark downtown. It's right by the water; you'd love it! Quote
Tjazz Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Dodgers, Marlins, and Angels are in 1st Place. The Angels I expected. Quote
Aggie87 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 ...and the Rocket was going to retire?? 7-0, best start in the majors!!! Though he's got a ways to go to match his best start ever, 14-0 in 1986. Quote

chris olivarez Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Tonight in the Dodgers-Cubs game Alex Cora had an 18 pitch at bat against Matt Clement. Clement is the type that might throw 18 pitches in three innings but Cora just kept fouling pitches off. I think Clement got to the point where he couldn't handle it anymore and maybe grooved one in there hoping that Cora would either put in play or strike out. Cora hit into the right field bullpen scoring himself and another team mate. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 listened to randy johnson pitch a perfect game vs the braves tonight on the radio Quote
chris olivarez Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Big accomplishment by the Big Unit. Quote
Brad Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Clemens may be 7-0 but Piazza got some more revenge by denying him his eighth. Metsies are looking good, pulling another out of the hat tonight. Whoda thunk they'd only be one game under 500 at this point in the season Quote

Soulstation1 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 (edited) no-hitter quiz who pitched a no-hitter in the first game of the season? who pitched a no-hitter in the last of the season? who pitched a no-hitter on the 4th of july? which 2 pitchers pitched a no-hitter on the same day? what nba player's uncle pitched a no-hitter? if you know these w/o looking them up, you are a true bb fan ss1 i'll post the answers later today Edited May 20, 2004 by Soulstation1 Quote
Chrome Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 A couple of guesses: I believe it was Jack Morris who pitched an opening day no-hitter ... and maybe Mike Witt who did it on the last day of the season. Quote

Soulstation1 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 hint the nba player is active and is/was in the play-offs also i've seen this nba player play in person Quote
Chrome Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 Re the NBA connection ... I'm way more of a baseball fan than an NBA fan, but isn't Mike Bibby related to the pitcher Jim Bibby? Is that who it was who pitched the no-hitter? Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 (edited) jim bibby is mike's uncle henry bibby coach of usc is mb's father i've known about bibby since he was a fresh/soph in high school jim bibby did pitch a no-hitter and won a w/s ring with pirates in '79 hell henry won a nba ring with the 76ers and 3/4 with ucla mike will be the only one w/o a pro championship ring mike did win one at the u of a ss1 alots of edits Edited May 20, 2004 by Soulstation1 Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 hints the pitcher who threw the no-hitter on the first game of the season is a HOFer the 4th of july pitcher is a coach in the bigs today ss1 Quote
PHILLYQ Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 First game of the season no-no was Bob Feller, AKA Rapid Robert(This is also a good piece of trivia, as it's the only time in baseball history that a team ended a game with the same batting average as at the start of the game.) July 4th no-no was Dave Righetti in Yankee Stadium against the Bosox, now pitching coach for the Giants(He struck out Wade Boggs to end the game.) Quote
BERIGAN Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Posted June 4, 2004 (edited) Â Â Â And no doubt if he wants to play next year, he will have to sign a minor league contract, and win a job again...amazing what he is doing at 46! And after acting like they were doing him a big damn favor letting him play for them in spring training(We need a young team here in Tampa Bay!) a complete lack of offense made them think a guy who is now just 8 short of 500 homers might not be such a bad idea after all....even if he is 40!

Chrome Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 I can still remember when I was actually YOUNGER than the players ... now I think it's just Franco and Clemens ... how depressing. Quote

Makes you root a little harder for the old guys, doesn't it? They're now ALL ounger than me, but I root hard for the old codgers that are defying Father Time and enjoying a boy's game(The pay's pretty good, too.) I hope somebody brings back Rickey Henderson this year, too. Quote
