that really had to chew at Williams' butt!!!!

And, yeah, sometimes it is difficult to separate the talent (pitching) from the brain (Bunning's politics).

been willing to hit to left he 'would have hit a ton'. What a purist!

And Merry Christmas, Impeachmas, and Happy Holidays to you, too, kairos!

I look forward to another year of baseball trivia and lore.

"Years later, Joyce met a man who fished with Williams in the Florida Keys. The man said he had once asked Williams to name the toughest pitcher he ever faced. "And he said, you won't believe this, but it was a girl."
