Counsell (been awhile since he has been used this much) Hall



Justice Harper

Miranda Hunt

Cash Angle

That was a Lowe Below.



Although we could use a better Treanor.

I'll Getz my Cousins in Alburquerque to help.

Baseball-wise, they wouldn't know a Belt from a Beltre or a Beltre from a Beltran, but if you've ever Rolen an Ankiel, Ohman, there the ones to Seay. Open Daley.



Their office is on a Hill above the Arroyo.

Just go up the Stairs.

Next to that Bastardo that runs the Flowers Shoppach.

He'll Feliz you.

A Buck a Lilly.

And, it's Upton you to pick the Lilly.

I'm no Gardner!

I'm Soto Dunn with that place!



Oh Brothers, maybe I do need to Getz Counsell...



By the way, here is another one of those baseball records that will never be broken.....

On July 25, 1930 the Philadelphia Athletics pulled off two TRIPLE steals.

The A's had four Hall of Famers in their lineup that day and won the game 14-1.

They would eventually win the World Series that year.

You're scaring my kids....Nomar puns, Feliz!
