Hey, I’m not an opera fan, but then again I’ve never been personally. Who knows for sure. I remember that Johnny Majors was a big opera and symphony fan.

I have to admit that I got involved in theatre and Shakespeare many years ago while a UTK student. Don’t ask me how, because it was quite the accident. I must say that while I enjoyed organic chemistry much more, I learned a heck of a lot about theatre. I think it allowed me to accept and learn to really enjoy all the musicals and plays I would by required to attend (by the spouse) after marriage. I go to the Tennessee Theatre, Clarence Brown, and to lots of plays whenever we are in NYC.

I guess I’m a “cultured” man at this point, which isn’t such a bad thing. However, in the end, if I have a choice between theatre or UT sports, I’m taking the sports ten times out of ten.

I have a unique connection with Adam. I coached him a couple of summer league games and also umpires his last HS game. My oldest was with me so I sent him with the balls left in my bag to get Adam to sign.

Wow, what a great connection! Waino is a flat-out amazing human being, in addition to his pitching exploits. He makes great contributions to this world, much like Kirby.

  • 1910- A Southern Association game between Mobile and Atlanta takes just thirty-two minutes to complete. The game is conducted as an experiment with batters swinging at every good pitch and little time taken between pitches. There are no strikeouts and one walk as Mobile wins 2-1.

  • 1925 - Ted Lyons lost his bid for a no-hitter when Bobby Veach singled with two outs in the ninth inning. The Chicago White Sox routed the Washington Senators 17-0.

  • 1926- The St. Louis Cardinals pounded the Philadelphia Phillies 23-3 in the first game of a doubleheader and beat them 10-2 in the second game.

  • 1931 - Lefty Grove wins his 30th game over the White Sox 2-1. He is the first to win 30 since Jim Bagby of Cleveland in 1920 and will be the last American League hurler to do so until Denny McLain in 1968.

  • 1949 - Ralph Kiner of the Pittsburgh Pirates became the first National League player to hit fifty home runs in two different seasons.

  • 1955 - Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs set a Major League record with his fifth grand slam of the season in a 12-inning, 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

  • 1968 - Denny McLain won his 31st game, the most in the American League since Lefty Grove's thirty-one in 1931. The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 6-2 while Mickey Mantle hit his 535th and next-to-last career homer.

  • 1973 - Frank Robinson hit his first home run in Arlington Stadium, as a member of the California Angels. It was the 32nd Major League ballpark in which he had homered.

  • 1984 - Pete Rose reached the 100-hit plateau for the 22nd consecutive year, an all-time record. He also tied the National League record for doubles with 725 as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2.

  • 1993 - Tom Glavine of the Braves becomes the first National League pitcher in twenty years to win twenty games in three consecutive years. Fergie Jenkins of the Cubs was the last to do the trick.

  • 1995 - San Diego's Ken Caminiti became the first Major Leaguer to homer from both sides of the plate three times in a season as he went 4-for-4 with a career-high eight RBIs in a 15-4 win over Colorado.

  • 1997 - Mark McGwire hit his 54th homer and became the first in the majors to hit 20 or more homers for two teams in the same season.

  • 1998 - Seattle's Alex Rodriguez hit his 40th homer to become the third player in baseball history to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in the same season.
