In 1974 the Oakland A's Charlie Finley signed 22 year-old track sprinter Herb Washington to a one year contract, to be the teams "designated runner". He had not played baseball since high school. Maury Wills coached him on base running. And the A's won the World Series that year! Washington played in 105 MLB games without batting, pitching, or fielding, playing exclusively as a pinch runner.

Caught stealing 17 times = 65% success rate, which is bad.

Another case of a team succeeding despite their manager and not because of him.

Mapping official radio affiliates for the Yankees and Red Sox. Favorite part is the remote towns in Maine getting their own Red Sox signal.

We went to the Rays/Jays game yesterday at Charlotte Sports Park. There were more f'ing Ontario plates than Florida plates in the parking lot.

I wish they would go home.
