Notebook items like this, involving players who'll never make a difference, are the heart and soul of Beerleaguer, even when a playoff game starts in three hours.

The man is a butcher at 3rd base, meaning his only real position is 1st base, but his bat failed miserably in Philly last season and caused the dynamic duo of Patty G and Rube to cast their line for the big catch of Pedro Feliz. This leaves good ol'   more...
