The Realization You Are Getting Older (Baseball Edition)

The first baseball game I attended was in 1973, the Boston Red Sox at the California Angels.  (I discuss this and provide the box score in these very pages on 2/8/12.)  Leading off and playing second base for the Angels that evening was Sandy Alomar.  Last week, the Cleveland Indians fired their manager, Manny Acta, and appointed an interim manager to guide them through the final six games.  And who was that interim manager? Why, Sandy Alomar Junior, of course...

Miguel Cabrera, American League Triple Crown Winner

Here at Infection By Light we send a special shout-out to the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera for completing the first Triple Crown season (league leader in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in) in Major League Baseball in 45 years (Yastrzemski, Boston, 1967).  Of course, baseball being the oddity that it is, the last Triple Crown before Yas was ... 46 years ago, when Frank Robinson achieved the feat for the Baltimore Orioles (1966).

Also, holy crap - what a year for the Oakland A's.  Did anybody see that division title coming at the expense of the Rangers and the "new-look" Angels? Tigers and the A's square off in the first round of the playoffs starting Saturday, and away we go...

A Taste of the Funny


What did the first drone say to the second drone?

 I don't know, what did the first drone say to the second drone?

"How's about we covertly kill us some Paki civilians!"

(Okay, it's a little oblique, but I still think that on some intuitive, subconscious level the humor gets through.  Though, of course, I've been wrong before...)
