The second guy was Judd Burch, who can name every umpire in the major leagues based on the uniform number on their jersey, which we didn't even know they had a uniform number. Then we had on Jeff Bennett, formerly of ESPN, who can tell you what every baseball card looks like from 1982 through 85. Front of the of the baseball card and back of the baseball card.

Birthplace, height, weight, Carly Ustremsky. I'm not making this up. And then we had a guy named Mike Pettica on last week. And you could go like this to Mike. He used to work for the Indians as an AP writer. 127 hits, 481 at bats, and in a matter of two seconds, he could figure that out in his head and give you the batting average.

These are what seam heads can do, and I maintain they're more in baseball than any other sport. So, yes, I have strange retention of things, but on things that are really important, I can't remember anything.

Just a useless stuff to know. But that's kind of the point. Baseball is pointless, and that's what makes it so interesting. So just the other day, the Rays scored one run in the first inning, four runs in the second inning, nine runs in the third inning against the Red Sox. So I checked with the people who could look this up.

It's the first time in Major League history that any team has ever scored one in the first, four in the second, nine in the third. We played 150 years. We played well over 200,000 games. And that first three line score had never happened in baseball history. It's pointless. It's useless. It's stupid. But people actually care about that stuff, including me. Tim, what's your son Jeff's birthday?

And his daughter was born on August 10th of 1993. She came a couple hours late. Otherwise, his daughter would have been born on his birthday on the night that Michael Lorenzen was pitching a no-hitter for the Phillies. Wow.

Dad and mom were watching the Phillies on the TV in the hospital room thinking our daughter's going to be born on daddy's birthday and the night that Michael Lorenzen threw a no-hitter. We just missed out on that. What was the umpire doing home plates and jersey number? I'm not kidding you.

This Judd Burch guy, you could ask him on a random Tuesday night, no matter where you are, doesn't matter who's working second base in Texas. And he would say Adrian Johnson. I tested him on it. He can do these things. Weird people exist in baseball. And that's another reason I love it. And I'm not apologizing for it.

Useless. Rusty Staub was a great cook, by the way. He used to pack his pots and pans with him on road trips. So if it was like a 10-day trip, he would get a hotel room that has like a stove and an oven, and he would take his own pots and pans and cook for himself on the road. Amazing.

I think that's what my father-in-law is doing. Buck Showalter once asked me – this is so typical Buck Showalter. He looks at me one night randomly and says, give me a great player who's got a lot of freckles. That's what he said to me. And I can't even – I've never been asked this question in my life, so I just reflectively said –
