Awesome for Dickey!

20 is amazing. 21 would be Dickey-rific.

That's a y-o-y drop of 36.4%. Are you sure we drew 3.5 mills last year and not 2.5?!? (looking up)

Baseball-reference has 2011 attendance at 2.352. Down 4.7% this year.

Mine was Tom Seaver, last game of the 1971 season.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Seaver in 1971, like RA today, also struck out 13 batters in his 20th win game. Seaver repeated the 13K/20th Win double the following season. Koosman turned that trick in 1976.

Tom Willis (shown last week in Detroit), threw out the first pitch today.

He also has no UCL.

You forgot the rimshot tags.

It was a Really Awesome game to attend - wow!

[G-Fafif]

It only seems like yesterday ended the season. Six more games to go. Need Edgy to roll out an IGT -- got a starting lineup that's just dying to make itself known.
