Milt Pappas and the fat man ?????? http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Hornkohl/043.jpg Who you calling fat ??? I missed the first inning and a half of that game as I had to work half a day that Saturday. Got home around a quarter of two, and watched the remainder of the game with my father. It's one of those memories that stays with you all your life. I had the good fortune of meeting Milt Pappas ten years ago, just a few weeks before the 25th anniversary of that no-hitter. The CUBS made a big deal out of it that year, just as they did this year. I would really take exception to the poster who called Pappas a tool. He's been nothing but warm and gracious each time I've met him. With regard to the pitches in question to Stahl in the 9th inning, they were surely outside the strike zone as it is defined in the rulebook. As we all know, however, umpires do not call the strike zone as it has been defined, and they never have. It's also worth noting that during the 70's, in the National League, the effective strike zone was even lower and wider than it is today. In talking to Pappas and Randy Hundley at this year's fan convention, they both offered their opinion that the 2 pitches (ball 2 and ball 4) were in locations that Froemming had been calling strikes for the first 8 innings. Suddenly, in the 9th, they're no longer strikes. That is what really set them off. I shared the following anecdote with Pappas and Hundley. You can guess their reactions....... During the summer of 1976, not yet 4 years after Pappas' no hitter, I was driving north on I-94 from Chicago to Milwaukee in a tractor/trailer. Not far across the Wisconsin border, I encountered a black Lincoln Town Car (it might have been a Continental, I'm not sure any more) with a Wisconsin tag the read "NL UMP", and a driver who appeared to weigh in the 350-400 lb range. Knowing that Bruce Froemming is originally from and still resides in the Milwaukee, WI area, there was absolutely no question in my mind as to the identity of the driver of that car. I pulled out in the center lane to pass the vehicle, and as I drew even with the Lincoln, it took every ounce of restraint that I could muster to hold my lane and not make a sudden lane change to the right !!! The good news is..... Bruce is finally going to go away !!! Good riddance to bad rubbish.

That's joe Nuxhall. Been a Reds' announcer for about 40 years after finishing his playing career with the Reds. Around Cincinnati, he's as well known as any of 'em. yeah, i know full well who he is. i was being facetious. if you would have read my previous poists, my point is more about the absurdity of this Reds guy in the crowd/ Reds broadcast. as for Nux being the most famous Red? i still think not. shall i display stats? ;) Yes. I would most definitely like to see your stats on who is the most well known. That should be most informative. http://web.baseballhalloffame.org/index.jsp see: Bench, Morgan, Rose, etc. oh yeah... So? Billy Williams is in the Hall of Fame and Ron Santo is not. Which one is more beloved and more known by Cubs fans? Santo, because of his announcing career. The same is the case for Nuxhall. BTW, I believe Nuxhall will hold the record for the youngest player ever to play in a major league game for a long time. He was 15 when he got into a game in 1945. fine. you win all the money. Joe Nuxhall is the most famous Cincinnati Reds player of all time. :roll: Where's all those stats you promised us to refute that assertion ????

Son, you gotta cut down on that drinking !!!

Yay, welcome back Fred. Thank you !!

CUBS are 68-47 when they get at least 8 hits..... 15-29 when they don't Go CUBS !!

No, that's his older brother.... this was Greg Maddux.

CUBS are 12-9 when Derrek Lee hits a home run.... 71-67 when he doesn't CUBS are 26-14 when they hit at least 2 home runs.... 57-62 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Through four, that's not bad at all by Z's standards. No, it's not. Zambrano has averaged 17.1 P/IP this year..... so 13.25 so far tonight is pretty good.

God I wish I were there right now. Living in St. Louis sucks. Try being in Monroe, LA. I went there once...... but it was closed.

CUBS are 62-30 when they score first in the game.... 21-46 when they don't CUBS are 36-24 when they score in the first inning.... 47-52 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Umpires: HP: Lance Barksdale. 1B: Tim Welke. 2B: Jim Reynolds. 3B: Gary Cederstrom.

I wanted to be there, but I couldn't get an early enough flight up there. :( Plus the wife gave me an odd look when I asked if I could... and then thirdly, my school has an open house tonight which is mandatory attendance for faculty. Yeah.... sometimes, life just Sox.

Well, you're about as much fun as root canal work, eh? I have to go get a wisdom tooth pulled tomorrow, so that hits a little too close to home...:P Believe me, I can empathize !!
