MLB "Did you know?" Thread

danny ainge was the youngest blue jay to hit a HR til vlad jr last year.

blows my mind. because ainge was awful. no clue how he started at 2nd base for them.

he is still one of only 13 guys to play in the NBA and MLB.

Dave DeBusschere is the only one to pitch a shut out tho.

Yup and he went from high school to AAA to the majors in the blink of an eye after putting up lousy numbers.....Kind of crazy how fast they rushed him into the league....not a good recipe

he was on the jays while he was in college, no?

none of his numbers justified him in any way.

In Harvey Haddix's 12 inning perfect game, Joe Adcock hit what appeared to be a 3-run home run but was credited with a double when he passed Hank Aaron on the basepath.

I did not know that.


Did you know Dickie Noles is one of four players to be traded for himself? (Cubs to Tigers, Tigers back to Cubs 33 days later.)

The Cubs got fleeced on that deal

Oh...

I see where this is going.
