Frazier should have caught that ball. Bad angle.

You have probably heard of this game, but in 1963 Juan Marichal and Warren Spahn each went the distance in a 16-inning 1-0 Giants victory over the Braves. Spahn, who was 42 years old, threw 227 pitches. Marichal threw 201. They both continued their regular spots in the rotation afterward. And they weren't junkballers either. 227 pitches? 201 pitches?
Men were men in those days, my friend.☠ |

Not when he’s hitting. If he starts carrying the team, he’ll hear Sanchise again. For now, he’s the Catcher Formerly Known as Sandwich. That's a time-honored tradition. When I saw Sanchez's comments about being booed -- and I heard Kay's remarks about Jeter and Mo hearing it a few times, as we all remember-- I distinctly recall Mantle being booed if he was in a rough patch, at least until he became the revered elder immortal. I saw Ford get booed after a bad outing. Joe DiMaggio used to get booed regularly early in his career because he was a salary holdout. It comes with the territory, especially in New York, Boston and Philly. It's never to a player's advantage to take on the fans about it. And I'm not saying that's what Gary is doing here, just that he should know he's in a long line of players who got booed when they were in a slump. Jeter as always handled it perfectly, usually saying something along the lines of he understood why he was getting the Bronx Cheer. I mean Sanchez was pretty awful for a long stretch there so I didn't know what else he would realistically expect. |

Frazier should have caught that ball. Bad angle. That's three times today Frazier made a questionable play in left.  |

When Giambi first came to New York, was struggling and starting to get down on himself because of the boos, Jeter told him in the on deck circle, that the boos were just fans wanting something to cheer about. Giambi said it took the pressure off. |

Ho boy, Taillon still out there. This is our equivalent of Old Hoss Radbourne pitching a 16 inning complete game in 1883. My late friend Joe used to have this electronic device with every MLB stat you can imagine. The key was learning the code to ask questions for it to collect from its many databases. Unfortunately, the company that produced the device stopped updating it after a few years. For a while, it was wonderful to have at a game or watching at home. At some point, Joe kept running into the name Hoss Radbourne on many all time queries. Finally, Joe started wondering why Old Hoss wasn’t in the Hall of Fame and started talking about it on his private Yankee list. Lo and behold, a couple years later, Old Hoss was inducted into Cooperstown posthumously. Old Hoss Radbourne is the first person known to be photographed giving the finger, some time in the 1880s. He died quite young, but he got his money's worth out of life. |

Giambi said it took the pressure off. Jeter had life figured out at a very young age. And rightfully credits his mom and dad. His dad looks like a great guy to sit next to at a game and chew the fat. |

Ervin Santana's still alive? And in the show! I'll always have a special place in my heart for Ervin for giving up the 3 run shot to Didi in the Wild Card. I was at that game! |
