This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

At one point, the ND Baseball Media guide erroneously claimed this was the first regular season HR hit outside the United States...but the HR was hit at Shea Stadium (Queens NY)

Also in the link below:

McGinn had signed a conference letter of intent with Nebraska before flipping to ND...Nebraska coach Bob Devaney wasn't pleased...

Yes, Ken Plesha did just fine after his short pro baseball career...I think a ball field/playground was named in his honor for all his great community work...

the initial post was intended for White Sox fans who may not realize Johnny Bench was available...of course, every other MLB team had a shot at Bench too...since he lasted until the 2nd rd...
