I thought Hockey ended a month ago. I guess I am going to have to start paying attention to other sports.

Peace

Orioles will not go undefeated this season thanks to the freakin Yankees loss last night.

Prediction - Nats will win a game by the end of April.

The last inside-the-park home run on Opening Day was hit on April 10, 1968, by Boston's Carl Yastrzemski. Bonifacio said he never heard of the Hall of Famer, but then Yaz probably never heard of the 23-year-old Bonifacio, who's known more for his speed than his bat.
Pretty cool that the last guy to do it was Yaz!

How can you be a baseball player and never hear of Carl Yastrzemski

Who has played 3 games already? Or were you just rounding off to the nearest multiple of 53?
