Ooh, Wisden!
I bet Tighty can recite the contents blind.
I got Alec Bedser to sign a copy of Wisden for me, at the time he was the greatest, think he had a "tenfor" in a Test match. I was just a kid at the time, in hossie after a bit of a bad accident, and they both visited the sick kids every week without fail. My memory may be playing tricks, but the ward had a monochrome TV, and I'm pretty sure Eric and Alec sat with me watching Fred Trueman doing his thing in a Test Match one week.
He had a twin, Eric, they were inseperable, lived together all their life, and never married.
After they retired from Cricket, they started a stationery business which they later sold to a big corporate chain.
Think they lived in Woking.

Shit post Nakor, such a clown.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Albert Pujols is first player in AL history to hit two homers and receive 3 intentional walks in same game, and 3rd in AL history.
Pujols a massive star for the Cardinals in the NL for years until the Anaheim Angels broke the bank to offer him a contract last season
Huge designated hitter
the opponent here chose, once he had homered twice to walk him onto base three times (each time throw four unhittable balls) rather than risk another home run
very rare, clearly

Ironically, the guy who came up to bat after the intentional walks was the oppo's (Texas Rangers) former star Josh Hamilton. They made a wise decision as he went 0-4.

Yesterday was the first time in MLB history that the two reigning CY Young award (given to the best pitcher in the American and National leagues) winners both gave up 8+ runs on the same day.
These are the sorts of stats they love in the US!

I have got the San Diego @ LA Dodgers game on ESPN, Live.
ALL the players are wearing # 42, even the Umpires.
Why?
