Cesar Geronimo was the 3000th strike out victim for two different hall of famers. Nolan Ryan and Bob Gibson.

Did King Felix have TJ?

Just struck me as kind of crazy. Obviously something has changed for the worse in re: pitching health and what we're doing to these guys. Baseball went 85 years without a HOF pitcher with TJ surgery. Now most of the next ones will have had it.

So Bert and Jack are right.

Yes but Geronimo saved so many runs with that cannon arm

First team in history to do this thing ten times in consecutive seasons.
Any ideas?

The record is for game lead-off homers
Only team to hit more than 10 in consecutive seasons
Darling thought the same thing I did ... "Not even Rickey Henderson teams?"

In fact, I bet Ricky had that thought himself: "Rickey used to play on a team with a guy that used to hit a lot of leadoff homeruns..."

I was also referring to the Rickey/John Olerud famous story. One of my favorite baseball stories ever.

Status: online 		Sadly, both Ricky and Olerud said it wasn't true. I was devastated.

There are gems like ... “Do I talk to myself? No, I just remind myself of what I’m trying to do. You know, I never answer myself so how can I be talking to myself?” or The morning after the Sox finished off their 2004 World Series sweep against St. Louis, Henderson called someone in the organization looking for tickets to Game 6 at Fenway Park. or When he was on the Yankees in the mid-1980s, Henderson told teammates that his condo had such a great view that he could see, “The Entire State Building.” or “This is Rickey calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to play baseball.”

Miles isn't confused easily but can be with third person speak.
