no google search shows that you incorrectly attributed a nickname to the wrong player.

Did. But I updated the nickname because GoGo sounds better and Calvin publicly shamed me.

Severino had worked as a stevedore for going on 15 years when he fell and broke his back in '98. Thank god for the union, he was fond of saying, or I'd be out on my ass right now

7 of the 25 longest HRs hit so far this season have been at Rogers Centre (only one of which was against the Phils)

#5, 468ft, C.J. Cron
#6, 467ft, Juan Francisco
#13, 455ft, Edwin Encarnacion
T-#20, 448ft, Juan Francisco
T-#20, 448ft, Brett Lawrie
T-#20, 448ft, Nelson Cruz
#25, 447ft, Edwin Encarnacion

Second with 3 each are Marlins Park and Coors Field. CBP only has 1....the Stanton one into Piazza territory (#4)

What is this I'm hearing about Miguel Olivo biting another player's ear off?

Olivo got into a fight with Albequerque team mate Alex Guerrero, the Cuban 2bman. Don't know if he Van Gough'd him though.
Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can
