Useless Factoids (cont)

Fung was snoring while reading one of them baseball articles, when he noticed that the link that took you to a player's stat page had a number for the player, you know, as opposed to his name. So it was sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4701 as opposed to sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/jimthome. Which got Fung thinking, who's #1? Well, see for yourself...

This was the same for CNN/SI, I didn't check ESPN. I'm sure your life will be that much more fulfilled with this new factoid...

I encourage you to do silly things like find out who's #23, #666, #31 etc. Gotta be more fun than watching the White Sox last night in the Metrodome...

So don't get too excited...

From one of those MLB Notes things:

Braves third baseman Chipper Jones is hitting .420. The last player to have that high of a batting average on this date was Paul O'Neill, who was hitting .431 for the 1994 Yankees.

Anyway - it's fucking balls-hot here. Miserable shit weather - exactly the kind there was here when Corms helped move me here exactly six years ago today (Monday, 9 June). I actually live in a smaller apartment now - so what that says about things I don't even know.
