Charlie Manuel Continues to Entertain Us As Only He Can

There's Nothing Quite Like A No Hitter
We love no-hitters; we're kind of obsessed with them, actually.

Bill Hall Is Smarter Than The Average Centerfielder
Back when we lived in St. Louis, we made the mistake of parking our car before a Rams game in the rooftop garage for the Gateway Arch, which is technically federal property.
