There has been just one inside-the-park, walk-off grand slam in Major League history, and it was done by Roberto Clemente. His historic trip around the bases gave the Pirates a 9-8 victory over the Cubs.


Jack Hernon of the Post Gazette writes: “Brosnan made one pitch, high and inside. Clemente drove it against the light standard in left field. Jim King had backed up to make the catch but it was over his head. The ball bounced off the slanted side of the fencing and rolled along the cinder path to center field. Here came Hank Foils, Bill Virdin and then Dick Cole, heading home and making it easily. Then came Clemente into third. Bobby Bragen had his hands upstretched to hold up his outfielder. The relay was coming in from Solly Drake. But around third came Clemente and down the home path. He made it just in front of the relay from Ernie Banks. He slid, missed the plate, then reached back to rest his hand on the rubber with the ninth run in a 9 – 8 victory as the crowd of 12,431 went goofy with excitement.”

I will not be surprised if Elly de la Cruz does this at some point. Not necessarily a walk-off, but an ItPGS.

Obviously everyone has forgotten that Hyatt couldn't catch a ball to save his life his sophomore year. Pope fixed that the very next season. We are gonna be just fine at WR. It's a top 5 unit in SEC this year and it's not up for debate. This is also the deepest we've been at WR as well.

Hyatt had a mental issue that stemmed from absolutely knocking himself unconscious trying to catch a Milton pass against Pitt. He went to work and got better. If anything his Sophmore year was not normal. That's what everyone is missing. He said multiple times his mind wasn't right that year. He never had bad hands.

Somehow Smokey with a life ring falls a bit short. The Rifleman in a canoe is a no go as well.

Maybe we need to feature a bigger Port VOLUNTEER with checkerboard docks and piers and bring it down all the way to and beyond the new complex with an overhead walkway for access with drink in hand for a stroll along the TENNESSEE River. Maybe feature a few food boats instead of food trucks. Great access addition for the new enterprises not requiring concrete and asphalt.

DW will figure it out. He not only thinks outside the box, he ain’t got no box.

Everything on the other side of the river is turning into apartment complexes, which means all of that is crazy expensive. Buying land and building a parking garage to use 8 times a year is probably not in play. Not unless there is a massive need for student parking, which is not something UT has ever cared about before lol

Parking barges. Smallish investment on the docking/loading infrastructure, float them in and interconnect them for events.



Don't think about the practical logistics, costs and details, just recognize the brilliance of the idea at face value.

On the morning of July 25th, 2000, passengers boarded Air France Flight 4590 from Paris to New York and settled in for what was supposed to be a long flight on a supersonic aircraft. Sadly, their flight lasted less than two minutes. Just after liftoff, the supersonic jet crashed into a hotel in Gonesse, France, killing all 109 people aboard and an additional 4 people on the ground.

Five minutes before Flight 4590 took to the runway, a Continental flight headed to Newark, using the same runway, lost a titanium alloy strip. Normal protocol for a Concorde flight includes a full runway inspection before takeoff; this was not completed (perhaps because the flight was already delayed by an hour). During Flight 4590’s takeoff, a piece of this debris from the Continental flight, cut and ruptured one of the Concorde’s left tires. As the aircraft accelerated down runway 26R, this tire disintegrated and a piece of it struck the underside of the wing, where fuel tank 5 was located.

A pressure wave inside the tank caused it to rupture forward of the tire strike. Fuel poured from the tank and ignited. The Concorde had already reached a velocity where it could not stop safely by the end of the runway so it lifted off the runway with flames hanging from the left wing. There are some incredible photos that captured this amazing moment, a moment that cost the lives of 113 people, $125 million, and the heretofore stellar reputation of a truly impressive airliner.

Rogue isnt a meteor. Did you never read comics?

I know cat pee can make you hallucinate. Is that's what's happening? You're inhaling your own pee vapor? Move out of the cave, moran.

I'm not even going to ask how you know cat pee makes you hallucinate, but suddenly, some of your posts make a lot more sense.

it's simple, called being married to a human female. Every possible, conceivable scenario is over analyzed. Meanwhile every project is also analyzed in a ritual called 'nesting.' It's where the pregnant person thinks of things that need moving around, daily. Often times multiple rearranging occur in same hour. Its during this time that the pregnant human cannot stand sound of a pin hitting the floor. Of course, this is certainly let be known to the human male, in a ritual called 'nagging.'

It's during this time that the male develops bad hearing.
