DOME, the spirits have told me that the numbers are within you already. If you search you will find them...but if you search too hard they will continue to evade you. You must let them come to you naturally...Remember, there is no rhyme, no reason. Every combination has an equal chance. Yes, even 1-2-3-4-5-6 has just as strong a likelihood to hit as any other, or to never hit...So many seek a pattern, or utilize numbers like birthdates that don’t even cover the entire scope of available numbers and thereby reduce their chances. Set up a wall with all of the numbers, blindfold yourself, move Tequila to a safe place and throw darts at the wall with your weakest hand and your back turned. Do NOT attempt to guide the darts to a specific area or pattern. The spirits promise you nothing, but you’ll have fun with less angst about your choices... If you hit the same number twice, or miss the board with any of the throws you must start over. You might also want to blindfold Tequila so she doesn’t die laughing at you... In my current state of mind, I know I shouldn't try your recommendation; but HELL, I never have Shy away from Change or Fear.
Will take your advice on Lotto Numbers...
'Thanks All Great Spiritual Guide'
In your Honor, we will sacrifice a Cockroach today to appease you...they are as thick as my thumb and as long as my thumb too.

Ooh, that makes DomeWorld all the more attractive to me. I'd love to carry one of those home in my luggage, all knocked up and ready to spray about 1000 babies in every direction...

We all know that Nolan Ryan pitched the most no-hitters of any pitched in baseball history, unless you happen to not be a fan of the game or perhaps live under a rock.
What player has participated in the most no-hitters? The answer is Bert Campaneris. He played on the no-hit side 6 times and the side that got hits in the game 5 times. That’s a lot of no-hitters to be involved in! Reggie Jackson was in 9. Five times he was on the team that was no hit, and four times on the team that threw the no hitter...

If the Yankees were in the NL they would have the best record. They have the same amount of losses as the Astros with there top notch rotation and are still currently on pace to win 100 games.

Make of this what you will: Last year there were 466 MLB players with a minimum of 50 batted balls. Aaron Judge has the highest ave. Exit velocity, which will surprise few, if any fans.
As you are probably aware, one of the primary reasons the Yankees acquired Didi Gregorious a few seasons ago was because he had a notably good exit velocity on batted balls that hinted that his lackluster stats might improve.
#11 on last year’s list in exit velocity? Any one know who? Did anyone expect to read the name Luke Voit here? That’s who it was. His exit velocity was higher than that of JD Martinez and the Miggys, both Cabrera and Machado...
Admittedly, with a small sample size of only 62 batted balls, it’s an unknown what that means, but it’s better than knowing that he was 466th, that’s for certain.

I found this to be sort of cool. In the 2010 season, Kelley Jansen has a 588+ ERA and a 456+ OPS. Admittedly, both especially the OPS were small samples...but still cool...

In 1999 Dante Bichette had a slash line of .298/.354/.541. He hit 34 HRs and drove in 133 runs. So far, so good right? Yet, this was only good enough for a 102+ OPS, and he played so poorly defensively at age 35 that between the poor defense and adjustments made to WAR to compensate for the pre-humidor conditions of Coors Field he was "credited" with a -2.3 WAR. WAR! What is it good for? Well...in that case, it was probably pretty darned close to correct...

Here's something you don't think about much. The AL record for most career balks is held by Charlie Hough at 32. The NL record is 82 by Steve Carlton, who also holds the MLB record at 90. I'm having trouble finding a list of career leaders in balks, as it doesn't seem to be on B-R. I've read that Carlton holds this record by such a wide margin that he's got more than double the number of the second place finisher. Remarkable...I know that he also holds the NL record for one season with 11, and that Dave Stewart of the Oakland A's has the AL and MLB single season mark with a whopping 16, which occurred in a season when the balk rule was changed the umpires (surprise) went wild calling balks (1988? I think)...
