Fergie totally bringing it for the NAGs: CH/SHO!

And just another intermittent reminder for you youngsters out there: CG stands for “Complete Game”. This happens when a pitcher is on the mound for a full 9-innings/27-outs. Not only did this happen often, it even used to be the expectation of a pitcher!

The Big Hurt piled on a small bit.

Triviata: Frank Thomas had a bit role in the movie Mr Baseball as the young rookie hitting “500-foot home runs”, putting Jack Elliot (Tom Selleck’s character, IRL AKA “Magnum BP” for his penchant for hanging around baseball stadia) on the trading block.
