I played 2B/SS/CF for the Knoxville Phillies for two Little League seasons back in 1989 and 1990. I totally was the team leader in RC, OPS, WS, EqA, VORP, and SecA.

Just kidding.

But I did lead my team in SB's and 2B's both seasons.

You forgot the length of his arms.

Yeah, did I mention the Astros lost?

The Florida State Seminoles may be forced to turn to a third-string safety against Syracuse this weekend, since injuries are slowing the Seminoles' top two players at the position, just FYI.

White Sox win despite resting all but 2 of their starters...maybe the Indians are the chokers?

Jeff Bagwell led the Astros in OPS 10 years straight

Knox · 09-30-2005, 06:38 PM

Lance Berkman is the only Astro with enough at bats to qualify with a career average over .300 (.302)

Knox · 09-30-2005, 06:40 PM

Craig Biggio has more than 100 career doubles than the next highest Astro

Knox · 09-30-2005, 06:43 PM

Although Morgan Ensberg went over the 100 RBI mark this year, he is still 16 RBI away from cracking the top 10 RBI marks for the Astros and 35 away from Bagwell's team record.

July 24, 1983: The infamous 'Pine Tar Game'. George Brett's 9th inning 2 out 2 run home run off Yankee pitcher Rich Gossage gives the Royals a 5-4 lead.

June 9, 1984: Pete O'Brien's sacrifice fly gives Texas a 4-3, 12 inning win over the A's.

The umpires rule the catch was made and Wayne Tolleson scores from third base with the winning run.
