Default Day 11

Ahhh yes, Tracy Stallard. You really only think of one thing when you think of Tracy Stallard, and that’s serving up Maris 61st homer. That wasn’t his only brush with infamy, though, as he also lost the longest game in MLB history, at that time, a 7 hour, 23 minute marathon. Oh, and he lost Jim Bunning’s prefecto in 1964. You could say he had a bit of bad luck, but if you look beyond the field, you might think differently. You see, when he was with the Mets, he was dating the girl who played Catwoman on Batman. Yep, he could blow a lead, give up a dinger, whatever...but when he got home that night, he had Catwoman, running around his living room, in that outfit. That’s probably a pretty good trade, I suspect. Which brings me to The Big Sexy...what, you say?!? What does Bartolo Colon have to do with Tracy Stallard? Well, when Colon drew his first walk after 281 plate appearances, the honor of most plate appearances, without drawing a walk, came right back to Tracy Stallard, with 258. The takeaway here is that if you are dating Catwoman, don’t waste time taking pitches. The night is short...you need to be elsewhere.
