This is one of the things that I love about baseball. Every once in a while stuff happens that is literally once-in-a-lifetime.

You look at the final score, White Sox beat the Twins 9-7, and you say "So what?" Then you realize that Mark Buehrle gave up all 7 of those runs to the Twins in the first inning. And the manager left him in. And on top of that, Buehrle ends up going 6 innings total, with a little help from a triple play in that sixth inning, and gets credited with the win. And then you find out that the last time somebody gave up 7 runs in the first inning and got the win in the same game was back in 1900!!! (Jack Powell of the Cardinals; Sept. 29, 1900; maybe it was the last game of the season.)

I know you all already think I'm a strange person, but I just love stuff like that. I think it's pretty cool.
