rsc... or anyone else who watches the Mariners (or even [gasp] the Yankees) on TV.
All fans know how statistics-conscious baseball broadcasters are, and how they like to tell you that this is the seventh time in the history of the game that a left-handed batter has scored exactly five runs in a day game, and interesting stuff like that.
So I'm wondering if any broadcaster has mentioned, either during last night's game or any other recent Mariners game, how many times there have been players batting successively whose first names begin with Y.
I'm referring, of course to those two Mariners immortals Yorvit Torrealba and Yuniesky Betancourt.
They need to trade with the Cardinals for Yadier Molina so they can go for the trifecta. Oh wait, Torrealba and Molina are both catchers? Well, one of them will have to DH.
