Yep.

I'm guessing there is a stat somewhere of "hit" into double plays but I can't find one. Cal had 350 GDP while Hank had 328

I read it on the internet...it must be true.

"The Best Swing In Baseball"'s first big league at bat was against Nolan Ryan and he went yard on Ryan's first offering-a letter high fastball......

8. the dumb ass would probably charge the mound because he thought the pitcher was trying to hit him even though the bases are juiced

otherwise it should be called a strike if the batter was hanging over the plate.

Correct, unless it's Barry Bonds, in which case the pitch would bounce off his kevlar body armor and he'd be awarded first base.

Incorrect. If it hit Barroid's elbow-biggio, it was outside. If it was a strike, it would have bounced off his melon.

Are you a bitter Fullerton fan?

I root for them to win every year they're in it, since I lived in Fullerton and the surrounding area for several years, but hardly watch any of the CWS (didn't watch any this year).

In fact, I don't even know what you're talking about. I assume the umps blew a call that lead to a UCI win?

I do know that they lost to UC Irvine, which blows, but Fullerton generally has such a strong squad that they never should have been in a position that the game went to extra innings in the first place.

^^^ Also incorrect.

If it was a strike, it would have been drawn into orbit around his melon.

The potential winning run was put on base in the 13th on a play very similar to what you described in your question. Minus the men on base that is. I hardly watch any CWS action, but that game was a classic.
