Two posts in one day!

We're on fire! And this one is actually about the Royals (actually the retro Royals).

In 1982, U.L. Washington hit .286/.338/.412 with 10 HR, 23 stolen bases and 60 RBI. U.L. was mostly known for the toothpick thing, and we remember him mostly as a back-up, pinch runner type, but what we wouldn't give to have a U.L. Washington clone playing shortstop every day for these Royals.

We met U.L. one time when he was trying to get into his Cadillac. Even though his very fat wife was yelling at him, he came over and gave us his autograph.

P.S. Willie Mays Aikens is free! Starting tomorrow.

P.P.S. We're going to get the White Sox radio broadcast tonight. That can be brutal.

Everytime I have to listen to "Hawk" Harrelson on WGN I want to punch him in the face.

I imagine I would say "He Gone!" after he falls down.
