Congrats on earning it honey, but couldn't you help out a student with real need? [jumping off soap box] You think George was going to just give her the money to go to school?

Is this the game that Milledge made that great catch? I don't think it's enough to outweigh his negative offensive performance for my formula, but it would explain to me why he's getting so many points from other voters.

In the Dominican Republic, the ALDS game 5 was just called the Milagro.

Guess I shouldn't run a trivia quiz against a day game. The answers: Julio Franco faced 1167 different pitchers in his career (DocTee's guess of 1100 is closest without going over). 857 of those pitchers are now retired (Seawolf's guess of 600 is closest without going over) Final Score: DocTee 1.25 TransMonk 1 Seawolf 1 Nymr .375 Yancy .125 HahnSolo .125 Gwreck .125 And the source of this trivia is the Baseball-Reference weblog Stat of the Day.

1. Carlton (.125 points NYMR) 2. Eckersley (.125 points NYMR) 3. Fingers (.125 points Yancy) 4. Niekro (.125 points NYMR) 5. Palmer (.125 points HahnSolo) 6. Perry (.125 points DocTee) 7. Seaver (.125 points DocTee) 8. Sutton (.125 points Gwreck) Good job. Any more guesses on total # of pitchers and number of retired pitchers.

This pic actually looks menacing.

TransMonk wrote: 1200 total pitchers sounds about right per seawolf's math above, I would think closer to 75% have retired, so I'd say 900, 8 HOFers. Monk gets 1 point for correctly guessing the HOF pitchers. I'll take guesses on who those 8 pitchers are for more points.

Julio Franco was released by the Braves yesterday. In his long career, how many pitchers do you think he's faced? Bonus questions: How many of those pitchers are already retired? How many of the pitchers Franco faced are now in the Hall of Fame? No looking up the answers! Closest without going over wins. Once some folks have taken some guesses, I'll share the great resource that was the source of this trivia question.

Yancy, I like the way you think. Jeter and the team of crap in the Bronx. He'll finally be the best Yankee that all the fans say he is. Irish, it would be even more interesting if Nelson Doubleday bought the Yankees.
-
I think we should all chip in to buy the Yankees, make some key trades, sign some poorly thought out ironclad longterm contracts to crap players, and then leave the team in benevolent neglect.

I think Farmer Ted meant for his post in the PotG thread to go here. I he copies it over I'll delete the post in the PotG thread.

Is "French and Southeast Asian History" a double major or a very specific concentration on the history of the French in Southeast Asia?

Just a question for clarification. How does one pronounce Humber? Do you pronounce the "b" or does it sound like Hummer?
