i've become incredibly bored during the day waiting for finals to start so i started posting mlb trivia on a twitter account, examples of stuff posted is

Mark Grace led all of baseball in hits (1754), doubles (364) and sacrifice hits (73) during the 1990's

Alfonso Soriano is the only player to hit 40 home runs, hit 40 doubles and steal 40 bases in the same season

i hate self promotion but me and my buddies normally try to stump each other with info on baseball so i figured some others might also, plus its twitter and you cant profit off it or anything

Cubs are undefeated as the home team

on turf in a dome

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

Funny Tim

I heard the same thing about the Cubs being the home team in Miller Park.

No, it's not Miller Park.

And actually, that’s not correct. The Cubs were the “home” team on March 30, 2000 at the Tokyo Dome, a turf park. They lost 5-1, though. They won the previous day as the “road” team at the Tokyo Dome.

Yes, you did.

The Cubs won the “road” game and lost the “home” game.

George Brett

He is the only player ever with 300+ HR’s, 3000+ hits, and a .300+ batting average in the American League. Hank Aaron doesn’t count because he did most of his damage as a National Leaguer with the Braves before going to the then-American League Brewers. I mean Brett compiled those numbers in the American League as an American Leaguer.
