He might want to avoid his mentions when he wakes up.

 

That screeching sound you hear is him backpedaling.

 

Saw an interesting 'on this date in baseball note' this morning:

On July 6, 2000, Keith McDonald of the St. Louis Cardinals became the second major leaguer ever to hit home runs in his first two at bats. He hit a pinch hit homer on July 4th, then homered his first time up on the 6th.

His entire career consisted of 8 games, 11 plate appearances, 9 ABs and 3 hits--all home runs.

 

What happened to him?

 

Braves fan wants MLB to change the K symbol for strike outs because it's offensive.

The insane tale of an MLB fan who wants the 'K' eliminated

That's especially funny coming a Braves fan, who probably tweeted between doing the tomahawk chop.

As for the Ks, I've been to stadiums that separate them until there are four so there is no KKK on the board.

 

He was a career minor leaguer who got called up after the Cards' starter was hurt and was surprised by the call-up. he had six at-bats in his first stint, then the next year, he was a September call-up,and got s couple more ABs, and spent the next few years in the minors.

How Keith McDonald gained spot in Cards record book

 

The Cleveland Indians are 42-28 against AL teams and 2-11 against the NL.

 

Hopefully they'll be no worse than 4-3 against the NL in October.
