Which he named the same as another book about... the making of Bull Durham. That he was also involved in writing. It's weird. Have heard the book is good though.

RIPPA Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Quote In a season of home run milestones in American baseball by Albert Pujols and Aaron Judge, 22-year-old Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami has also gotten into the act. Murakami, playing for the Tokyo-based Yakult Swallows, hit his 56th home run of the season on Monday, pushing him alone into second place on the single-season list. It was the Swallows' last regular-season game. The hit came in the seventh inning against the DeNA Bay Stars at the Swallows' Jingu Stadium. Murakami passed Japan's career home run leader Sadaharu Oh, Tuffy Rhodes, and Alex Cabrera, who all hit 55 in a season. Wladimir Balentien holds the Nippon Professional Baseball's record of 60 home runs in a season, which he set with the Swallows in 2013. Oh hit 55 home runs for the Yomiuri Giants in 1964, Rhodes did it with the Kintetsu Buffaloes in 2001, and Cabrera matched it with the Seibu Lions in 2002. Murakami had gone 13 games without a home run after hitting his 54th and 55th on Sept. 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason Wlad did better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Baseball purists have allowed not one, but two teams to spell "Socks" with an X for far too long, so those people can shut all the way up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 If I didn't know any better, I'd say Johnny was trying to reset his HOF timer on purpose. Regardless, it's good to see Damon doing what he does best. Hitting a soft grounder to the third baseman to kill a rally. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I’m trying to think of some pun or marketing slogan that would convince you “Counter Clocks” is a catchy name and I’m drawing a blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
