I dig some Mental Floss, you never know what you'll find. One of my favorites of these: Jim Traber (BAL) Jim is an accomplished professional singer. He sang the National Anthem at Memorial Stadium the night he made his MLB Debut, 9/21/84

San Jose Giants right fielder Mac Williamson.

Dodgers rivalry aside, this gesture makes me like him as a person.

I came across this while reading linked article (which is actually really interesting). "A couple of places, there is great animosity for you: Wrigley Field and San Francisco," Berkman says. "You get the feeling that they genuinely hate you there. They are very uncreative there. You know, they usually just say, 'You suck.' Or they call me fat." Sounds like Giants fans need to up their game. I bet we can make Berkman cry if we set our mind to it.

Could be just April, but Peguero growing into much better professional ball player than Brown. I'd love your thoughts.

Enjoyable read about Noah Lowry; I started becoming a serious Giants/Baseball fan about the time he came up; good memories of him pitching and being a great athlete. It's too bad his health problems hurt him; but I'm glad he and the GIants hold each other in high esteem.

Interesting FanGraphs article. "I’ve had the same pitchers, pretty much, since I’ve been in the big leagues." It makes sense, doesn’t it? Familiarity breeds comfort. If the shortstop knows the pitches that are coming intimately, he knows which way to cheat. He knows which pitches will break bats, and which could be scorched up the middle. To hear Crawford say it: "I know whether or not they are going to hit their spot with their pitches, who likes certain pitches, who will stay away."
