Three old ladies decided to go watch their beloved Cubs play a game. To make it interesting they picked up a bottle of Jack Daniels for the game. They would buy cokes and mix their whiskey in, they were having a grand old time. As the game went on they continued on with this and started feeling no pain. Finally after ordering up a couple of cokes later on one of the ladies SCREAMED we are out whiskey!

Thought it was a trick, How many brother combos have more than 700 Jacks ?

ZAFONIC

[Zaf]

True Dave Tommie only hit 13.

Another record Aaron has is the most home runs by a brother combination. His late brother, Tommie, also played in the majors with the Braves. Of course, of that combination, Aaron did the lion's share of the work, with Tommie hitting only 13 of their combined 768 home runs. Tommie Aaron died in 1984.

What is a knuckle curve? I've heard the term before but the engineer in me says Huh???

[freeneasy]

who was the only picture to throw a knuckle curve, and not get hit on the head tho he may have the record for "hit batters on the head" with that pitch, he created it.
and speaking of which, heres one i don t know
who would be the pitcher that holds the record for " most hit batters ever" thats a good one.
jaun marichal of the s.f. giants maybe, when he threw that fastball with that straight up overhead delivery and that hugh left leg kick of his. man, made you go diving into the bucket, not step into the bucket but go diving into the bucket, and for your dear life too. awsome. and when he really wanted to bring you to your knees hed get a 2 strike count on you, didnt matter how many balls you had on him just as long as he had a two strike count on you. then hed go into that big windup of his, kick that left leg of his to what looked to be some eight feet into the air and then come around with a sidearm curve that came straight at you then break off at last second on the outside part of the plate. you didnt just step into the bucket, you didnt just dive into the bucket, what you did was jump out of the plane without a para chute. period. what a pitch
whats the straight up record between him and sandy kofax?

[Dave Schwartz]

As I recall, didn't he hit like 40 guys one year?

its a knuckler with enough rotation on it to give it a touch curve and keep it on the knuckle. you get the action of the knuckle ball with a little slip slid'n away action

[Zaf]

Must of hit Ron Hunt for at least half of em.

who dat dave burt hooten or jaun marichal? i dont know but my guess would be burt hooten could have hit a lot of batters with the knuckle curve but mr. marichal was plain flat out just not afraid to serve you up a little chinney chin chin music if you peed him off

wait a minute zaf, you might be real close with ron hunt, he used to get hit all the time, i think i remember a long time ago joe garageiola talking about ron hunt and the subject just might have been hit batters, ya know i think he does hold that record. funny.
