Some Baseball Fun Facts
Well hello. Nice to see you again. How's about I throw a couple of fun facts from the beginning of the 2006 season right at your mouth:

- the Mets have the biggest Divisional lead (5 games) in baseball, and the biggest divisional lead after 12 team games in the HISTORY of baseball.

- On Sunday and Monday, Albert Pujols became the 35th player in Major League history to homer in four straight at-bats. The last had been Carlos Delgado.

- Some kid had so much time on his hands, that he recreated the bottom of the 10th inning of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series (the Buckner game) on that old Nintendo game, RBI Baseball. Mind you it's impossible to have wild pitches or to have balls go between players' legs in that game, but this recreation - along with Vin Scully's and Joe Garagiola's announcing - is pretty fantastic, unless you're a Red Sox fan. Read the article if you want, and then play the video. If you don't want to read the article, stop reading here, because I'm going to give you the punchline: He didn't win the contest he entered, but his creativity did land him a job.
