Baseball Esoterica

April 21, 2006

Another Big Start!

Sorry I haven't been posting...just got a new job.

I remember a couple of years ago when Kaz Matsui homered in his MLB first plate appearance, that was pretty cool. Then, last year, when he did it again, that was really cool. So I was looking forward to his return to the Mets lineup. First time up tonight? Not out of the park...but he circles the bases for an inside-the-parker! I don't have the data, but I bet no one's ever hit homers in his first plate appearance of the year three years in a row, never mind in his first three years. I mean, if Albert Pujols did it, nice--but Matsui is no home run hitter. This is a guy who hits a home run once every hundred plate appearances when not leading off the season. So the tally stands at: 3 homers in 3 first-of-the-year PA's, 8 homers in 805 non-first-of-the-year PA's. Wow. Interestingly, Matsui's trifecta occurred in the same game as Julio Franco becoming the oldest player to ever hit a homer.

Extra Esoterica
In 2004, Matsui went 88 plate appearances until his next homer. In 2005, it took him 110 plate appearances to hit another one.

    Elsewhere (in other words, I don’t remember exactly where) it was reported that Matsui is the only player to homer in the first AB of his first three seasons.

  • Yes, but no one else has done it in his first plate appearance of three consecutive seasons, first three or not.

  • Good day! 

    Why do dogs eat their poop? One reason dogs eat their poop is because it just plain taste
    good. Another reason is it could be a vitamin deficiency. One other reason for the poop
    eating is that it is an instinctual behavior in the wild to eat the poop to keep other predators
    from tracking their movements.

    Some solutions for stopping poop eating are: You can put meat tenderizer on it.

    What do you think?

    By the way, I love that too!  How did you find that?  

    See you soon! WonderGirl

  • [color=#69c]I can't stop to think about that girl perhaps because I tought once I would never love her again. I was desperate for many days after that episode and never asked her out again. With one exception that is on that particular week, I saw her one moment at the airport and she doesn't go out of my mind. Now I find out that my van would not start or my[/color] [url=http://www.hotcode.info/sitemap5.html]psp video game[/url] [color=#69c] need to be repaired . But that doesn't stop the fact that I miss the feeling of st
    aying together with her, of knowing her in a raw and unedited way, as you are, with your bad sides as well as your perfection. That you believe it or not I was really in love with you. You are extra ordinary. I just don't know when to give up and when I fall hard, I really fall hard.

  • When I heard you gettin' it off on that jury, http://startso11.info/Pocztaonet.pl.html I says to myself that's the kind o' lawyer I want.. In the same house and in the adjacent residence the dreamer used to play pugnacious games with the neighboring children, in which he satisfied http://rebestal.info/csb.html himself just as he did in the dream.. A policeman approached, and but for http://storyah44.info/pornosy+za+darmo.html the good-humored party, upon whom the elder's pluck had made a favorable impression, would have run the old man into the barracks.. Und you acknowledge tat you http://startso11.info/Urz%C4%85d+Gminy+w+K%C5%82oczewie.html pe te blind dronk und te vool? I nodded once more.. The astounded Colonel nevertheless http://rebestal.info/biura+nieruchomo%C5%9Bci+w+Gorzowie+Wlkp..html gallantly accompanied her as she stepped out into the street and called, shrilly, You Zaidee! A young girl here apparently detached herself from a tree and the ostentatious perusal of an old election poster, and sauntered down towards the office door.. That night she had a talk with http://startso11.info/szybki+szmal.html Marann, and oh, how Marann did cry! The very last day came.. Kingsbury's before http://startso11.info/gim7.szkoly.lodz.pl.html breakfast.. He leaned back comfortably http://startso11.info/tka.plwww.fo.html in his chair, and half closing his eyes as in dreamy reminiscence, said, slowly: Your reply, Mr.. [1] It is only of late that I have learned to value the significance of fancies and unconscious thoughts about http://startso11.info/wsp%C3%B3lnota+jan+chrzciciel.html life in the womb.. Thirty-four's on one side http://startso11.info/www.belchatow.edu.com.pl.html o' the street an' thirty-five on t'other.. How much for the furniture for the week? Fifty dollars! Mr. http://startso11.info/nhots.servegame.org.html. There was no need of disputing the fact that the http://startso11.info/ogrzewanie+hal.html dream interprets the objective sensory stimuli after the manner of an illusion; but we have supplied the motive for this interpretation which has been left undecided by the authorities.. Now, apparently, the stream of http://startso11.info/kura+domowa.html thought thus started and abandoned may spin on without regaining attention unless it reaches a spot of especially marked intensity which forces the return of attention.. Its meaning is that it http://startso11.info/googleLubisz+mie%C4%87%3F.html shows the wish realized that pregnancy should not occur just yet.. Why it was unconscious is quite another question http://startso11.info/www.zspsolec.neostrada.pl.html which would lead us far away from the answer which, though within my knowledge, belongs elsewhere.. Buller, as the two sat smoking after dinner, what you ought to do; you should never go out http://startso11.info/Wilo.html driving without a life-preserver and a pair of oars; I always take them.. He walked in to see http://startso11.info/krwiodawstwo+krak%C3%B3w.html the landlord.. It was not champagne or recreation that he needed, not even a http://rebestal.info/cs+1.5.html po'k-chop, although his desire for it had been a symptom, a groping for a too homeopathic remedy: he was homesick.. If you please to let my bundles stay untell I come back-- Can't I show you something? Hat, coat-- Not now. http://startso11.info/gaz+dro%C5%BCeje.html. We hold that our psychical apparatus contains http://startso11.info/www.pozkosz.com.g%C5%82osowanie.html two procedures for the construction of thoughts...
