ESPN MLB Strange But True 2008

First fanpost.  Be gentle with me.

 

I'm a big fan of ESPN's Jayson Stark's columns about unusual baseball statistics, records, and coincidences.

 

So check out the oddball occurrences and goofy stats-I didn't remember half of this stuff!

 

I didn't read about Griffey getting on base for two different teams in the same day, or that the Mets gave up two grand slams all year...both to pitchers (just for starters).

 

Anyway, there's a ton of really great, funny stuff here.

He failed to mention

how the Angels no-hit the Dodgers and still lost. How he missed that is beyond me.

I was there too.

I told the guy in front of me around the sixth inning, “If the Angels give up no hits and still lose this thing, I’m going to shoot myself in the head.” He turned around after the last out and said, “Well?”

I don't know...I'm makin' this up as I go.
