I've been going to games since August 8, 1973....and on August 22, 2004, finally, a foul ball came my way. I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller!

Have you read The Baseball Same Game?

outshone by teammate Ty Cobb from 1905-1917, but a fantastic player in his own right
his 2961 hits were 649 above league average, tied with Paul Waner for 21st best all-time
his 309 triples are the most in history, besting Cobb by 13
his .152 OPS better than league average ranks 62nd all-time

None.

Nor was there anybody else from Wahoo, any other state (that is, if such places even exist).
