I say that because I remember a game he tried to do that for the Chiefs...if I remember right, he was like 6'9 or so... Or was it using teammates as a ladder on kicks? The former. He was 6’10” and would basically goaltend the crossbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is he was only like 30 or so games above .500for his career. Probably just never had that 1 season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting time in baseball...Babe Ruth came along and changed all that... When Hank Aaron was chasing Ruth's all time home run record, they tried to tack one on...He's hit a walkoff HR with a man on base, but the rules at the time credited the batter with a triple because the winning run had scored ahead of him...They had the Babe at 715 for a time, then came to their senses... The Wally Pipp story is an excellent one...I love baseball lore... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
