Although there is no minimum height rule, the insinuation is clear: there is no place for a midget in the game.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

wow, that is a really cool article
nice to see that the Mariners are the example for the triple play.
LET WLAD BAT!!!!

Heh
The Mariners somehow "hit" into a triple play in a Sept. 2 game in Tampa Bay--without a ball being put in play. How'd that happen? It wasn't easy. Raul Ibanez got called out on strikes for the first out. Adrian Beltre got nailed stealing second for the second out. Then Jose Lopez bolted for the plate and got thrown out at home for the third out.

I remember
wasn't that on LL Night in 2006?  We got the news during the 6th or 7th inning or so.  That was depressing... but I don't think we had any idea the triple play had happened THAT way.

 we need another "bad baserunning" montage on sportscenter

I don't remember the Jays batting out of turn
last year.  And against the M's, too - I'm sure I watched that game.

which is odd
because I think the only way to watch it was to be in Canada or have your computer rigged.

Hmmm...
11. Six consecutive strike outs in an inning

Actually, there could be an infinite number of K's in an inning. The bases could be cleared by a bunch of hits/HRs, etc., without making outs.  As long as first base is open on a K-getting Catcher flub, the pitcher gets a K and doesn't get an out...
