And on this day (June 19) in 1846, Alexander Cartwright brings together the New York Nine and the Knickerbockers at a field in Hoboken for the first recorded baseball game. The Nine win, 23-1.

Cool. That's an interesting position they have Foster listed at on his card.

Glavine beat Kenny Rogers to double digits by about an hour today. Speaking of the Gambler, he has now won 200 games, but has never tallied 20 in a season. Q: Who has the most career wins of any pitcher lacking a 20-win season?

]Dwight Evans: father 75 Bosox, son 91 Orioles Diego and David Segui Correct!! The HGH deficient Seguis.

There have been dozens of father-son combinations in big league history, from the Adams (Bob and Mike) to the Youngs (Del and Del). Sometimes, they have shared teammates. See if you can identify the combinations who suited up alongside these players: Steve Carlton: father '65 Cardinals and son '86 ChiSox Rickey Henderson: father '87 MFY, son 2003 Dodgers Dwight Evans: father 75 Bosox, son 91 Orioles Bill Buckner father 69 Dodgers, son 1982 Cubs Grant Jackson: father 67 Phillies, son 1981 Expos

From Sunday's SF Chronicle... http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/06/18/SPGTMJG0NT1.DTL In another article John Shea suggests that "The A's could make a dramatic offensive improvement by trading Barry Zito, which we're told is a possibility. GM Billy Beane still adores Lastings Milledge, who has done some questionable things with the Mets that might suddenly make him tradeable. The A's farm system is thin in outielders." FWIW, Shea is pushing hard for EITHER the A's or Giants to acquire Soriano, with the former moving him to 2b and the latter grooming him as a replacement for Bonds/Alou.

OO with a virtually solo performance. Nice job, from an appreciative out-of-towner.

]We lost this game because the thread was mis-titled. I blame the black hat/black shirt combo at home.

I thought the Mets signed Eric

Mug Shot observations: Somebody get Tejada and Rogers some coffee (leaded, preferably) Chris Britton looks like he should be pitching hay, not baseballs. All he needs is a set of denim coveralls. No Anna? For shame.
-
Lance Johnson, Willie Mays and George Brett also qualify as postwar.
-
A series loss here might be GOOD. Non-divisional opponent (hell, non-league, so the effect is mitigated) and it would prevent the Mets from the big-headedness so prevalent around these parts.
