This last weekend I was staying at my parents house cause I had to watch over my mom's cat formally my cat before I moved out BlackJack. Lately when my dad or I come over BlackJack likes to hide from us cause he is afraid of us. So in efforts to see him from his hiding place in my parents room I was attacked on my right hand after telling him to calm down he still didn't want to be near me he eventually calmed down and later apologized for his attack against me. Anyways prior to his attack I found this Baseball Digest issue from December 2003 while rereading in the private office room (Sorry I do most of my reading of others blogs while in here as well & any other books I might be reading its either read or play games on my phone.) So as I was reading it they usually at the beginning of they feature letters to the editor. I remember reading the October issue of 2003 & I had to make a comment or I would say my Cha-Ching action of knowing more than most people know about baseball so I had found it my issue that featured my letter I knew I had a letter published by the magazine but I couldn't remember what issue but here it is the issue I had found it YAHOO!!!!!!! I have enclosed my letter for all to read.
I can't help but know a lot about baseball.
After rereading my letter I immediately said I need to do a post on this. Now I pose this question to my avid readers did you know about this factoid or not be honest with me. I have a bet going on with my coworker that he says about 2 of you knew & I disagree I told him I bet they knew about the Clemens event but didn't know about the Ryan event if someone did know about the 2 events I know they are lying.
Blackjack when I owned him liked my bed back in January 2010.
Hello I am prisoner # 9livesFeline I didn't do it
This was after the attack & I had cleaned up my hand only to have it continue to bleed. It still hurts when I flex my fingers on the keyboard while typing this post up. Don't worry Ill live to tell more interesting things for my blog. Until then I am reminded of the words of Rogers Hornsby when talking about autographs for kids "Any ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
I recalled reading once that one of Ryan's no-hitter's resulted in a round number win, but until your post I wouldn't have remembered which no-hitter or what milestone win.
ReplyDeleteYou should go back to that writing style. :D
ReplyDeleteI remember the fact about Clemens, probably because it happened against the Cardinals and I live in St. Louis. I didn't know about Ryan's milestone.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you clean the scratch/ bite really really well. My cat bit me, several years ago and after 4 days I ended up in the hospital for 5 days. I'd been bitten and scratched hundreds of times, but this time... Not something to play around with. Take Care!
Great trivia piece! I wonder if it's happened again since.
ReplyDeleteA blog post is fun until someone gets hurt. Hope it heals soon!
A. I might have heard about the Clemens feats on ESPN or something, but don't remember them. As for Ryan, pretty sure it's the first time I'm hearing about his two feats.
ReplyDeleteB. Glad your cat eventually apologized. Just curious, what do cats do when they apologize?
Nope, didn't know either factoid.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised BlackJack is scared of you if you were the original owner!
