Ryan Howard is the only player to have taken Mike Mussina deep in each of his first 2 AB against him… Moe Howard has the most slap hits vs Curly Howard, Shemp Howard, and Larry Fine.  |

Then, when the Braves violated the rules by signing him before the college baseball season was over, Seaver's name was tossed into a hat and the Mets pulled it out…

Mickey Mantle was not just incredibly strong, but he was also incredibly fast. In 1958, The Mick hit an inside the park home run on May 9, 1958, another on May 20, 1958, and a third on June 5, 1958. Not one Yankee player since Mantle, has hit three inside the park home runs in the same season! …

There was at one time a slow pitch soft baller named Carl Rose who would tuck his pinky under the bat knob and interlock his hands at the bottom of the knob to generate amazing power…

"The Last Hero" (David Falkner) is an interesting, accurate source for info re Mantle's life. |
