    Kevin Millar had two inside the park home-runs in his career.  His first MLB home-run was an inside the park while playing for Marlins and it happened on 5/24/1999 in Chicago NL.  His second was while with Boston on 8/26/2003 in Toronto.

    It was in Fenway Pahk

    I think you'd have a better chance at seeing a perfect game.  Millar getting an inside the park homer would have to have so happen...like he'd have to hit it off the wall in RF, the rightfielder would have to miss the carom off the wall, miss the cutoff man...and even then, I'm not sure Millar could get around and be safe at home.

    So, he had a chance against the recent O's?

    A feat we didn't see?  How about Armando Benítez throwing a fastball to an overmatched Tony Fernandez in the ALCS instead of a slider he could hit?

    He had no problem hitting Tito Martinez in the back with that fastball.

    Luckily I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and surprisingly there doesn't seem to be any shortage of them.  

    Unfortunately there will be a shortage. There's no one to do the picking.  Foreign workers aren't allowed in and, heaven forbid, if any of the younger set in this country will do manual labor.  If it wasn't for aged knees and back muscles, I wouldn't hesitate.

    I don't think Tekulve was top 5 ugly, he just had those rad glasses that he wore everywhere.  Manny Sanguillen was ugly.  Don Mossi might be the missing link.  Otis Nixon.  Willie McGee.  

    Willie McGee was in close competition with Merton Hanks from the 49ers for the longest neck in sports.

    But I doubt that is the reason. Probably more likely their children are all in middle age and are doing well and they don't need them to take care of grandchildren anymore.  They have had a good life and are content. 

    It really does get to the point where some know they've come full circle.

    I started off as a pitcher and was going to break every record in the book. Some crazy chick shot me, not really sure why....I don't really like to talk about it. I was thinking about making a comeback but, you know, coronavirus. 

     

     

    Ya know, she told me about that once.  Something about old girlfriends and steak knives. We had a good laugh.

    Just to add a few more data points to the discussion... Britton was nearly as good in 2014 as he was in 2016. Again he was used in different situations against KC, with mixed results...

    ACLS Game 1 away
    Britton pitches 9th of a 5-5 tie.
    O'Day enters to finish 9th and loses game in the 10th.

    Game 2 Away
    Tied 4-4 in the 8th, Miller faces two and O'Day one.
    O'Day gives up a single to start the ninth. Britton relieves and gives up two hits, allowing the two winning (losing) runs.

    Season totals:
    Britton 37 saves, 1.65 ERA. Miller 1.35 as an Oriole. O'Day 1.70.

    S**t happens. And as an Oriole fan, more times than is pleasant to remember. But hey, with time on our hands...

    Here's another from the archives:
    1989, Sept. 29 in Toronto. O's need to win the next 2 games.
    Closer Gregg Olson (27 saves, 1.69) relieves Ballard in bottom of the 8th to protect a 1-0 lead, yields a steal, advance to third, and tying run on wild pitch. Olson stays in for the 9th and 10th. Williamson comes on in the 11th and loses the game.

    1973 Bob Reynolds 9 Sv, 1.95, Grant Jackson 9 Sv, 1.90
    ACLS game 3 in Oakland. Weaver leaves in Cuellar, despite yielding tying run in 8th, into the 11th when Campeneris homers to win it for the A's. Unused in the bullpen are Reynolds (1.95) and Jackson (1.90).
    But I guess Weaver was saving them for the next game, when the duo combined for 7.1 innings of 1-run relief in a 5-4 Orioles comeback win. (In between, though, with the score tied 4-4 in the 7th, Weaver risked Eddie Watt for two batters). (BTW I was at that game, and predicted the heroics by Etchebarren and Jackson, though I thought it would be Reggie, LOL).

    This is really just depressing cause, except for a couple of years in the past 30, this team really has sucked.
