Here is something I did not realize until this morning. While surfing the net (I am an Interweb hodaddy fer sure) I discovered our beloved Bruce Bochy, manager of your San Francisco Giants, currently has the most wins as an active manager - any active manager. He is 20th on the all-time list for wins by a manager active or not just behind ....wait for this ... Tommy Lasorda! They both won 2 World Series each and Lasorda is in the Hall of Fame. I never thought of Bochy as a HOFer until now.  Why not, if Lasorda is in why not Bochy? Go Giants!

Didja know?

I have received a request or two that some of my readers want to know as much as I think I do about miscellaneous trivial subjects. Okay - be careful what you ask for though...

Until I figure out the best to do this I will simply list my marvelous accumulation of interesting tidbits of knowledge like this:

  • Do you know why some base runners in baseball will grab a pair of batting gloves out of their back pocket and not put them on? This one is simple - by running the bases with their hands clenched in fists while carrying the gloves they won't expose their fingers as much when sliding head first into the bases.
  • Spent some time in the garage today talking to my daughter about music while she painted a chest of drawers - I grew up thinking it was pronounced "chester's drawers".
