Buhl failed to record a single hit in 70 at-bats in 1962, the worst single-season batting performance in major league history — specifically, the record for most at-bats in a hitless season. (Sporting News Baseball Record Book, 2007, p.19)

Suds blew a bases-loaded, 0 out threat

with Braun whiffing, and Fat bouncing into a 6-4-3.

No score, with Charlie Cheeseburger pitching.

you know what would be a great Acu-View givaway?

contact lenses with cubs logos on them. You wouldn’t see it when wearing them, because they’d be too close, but everyone looking at you would see CUBS!
