Clemson does not enter their own football field from their locker room. To add to that they run down a hill to get there.


I've always wondered how more players don't get injured during that. Running down that incline in such a crowd, all it takes is one person to fall down and cause others to trip over him. Plus that's begging for sprained ankles

Albert Pujols is 5th all time with 671 career doubles.
No one is ahead of him on both lists.

In relation to fielding fly balls, yes. But, there were record-setting numbers of triples and inside-the-park home runs hit during that time period.

Strategically, I think you'd want your outfielders playing fairly deep because of how challenging it would be to field balls hit in the gaps (and down the lines in other ballparks).

Dude looks like a tubby armchair qb MSB poster, yet he’s crazy athletic. Dude must have made a deal with the Devil to be that big yet be so nimble, quick, and dexterous to make the kinds of plays he routinely does on defense.

Aussie rules has a father-son draft rule. If the dad played more than 100 games for a team that team has priority rights to drafting the son.
