Anything to Say, Dear?My all-time favorite cartoon appeared in the New Yorker several years ago.In the cartoon, a fellow is settling into his big, comfortable chair with the TV remote control in hand. He says to his wife standing nearby: "Anything you'd like to say, dear, before the baseball season begins?"While every team is in first place, before the post mortem begins on President Obama's fastball - he's throwing out the first pitch at the National's home opener - and while you still have one ear tuned to the spouse it might be an appropriate moment to soak up some baseball trivia.For example, did you know that Bullet Bob Feller, as a 21 year old fireballer with the Cleveland Indians, threw baseball's only complete game opening day no hitter? It happened in 1940. You can look it up.Play ball!...and, what was that dear?
