Speaking of Intentional Walks:
I was researching a question for someone on facebook: Did Bob Uecker actually hit a home run against Sandy Koufax?
My initial answer was that I'd have to check but I knew Uecker claimed one of the greatest achievements of his career was to get an intential walk from Koufax. BBR provided the detail: On July 24, 1965, Uecker got a single first time up against Sandy, then homered the second time up. He was actually walked intentionally the third time up...so both where true. Both of Uecker's 1965 homers were off HOFers- the first on May 5 off Gaylord Perry. Of his 14 career homers, three were off HOFers, the other coming off Fergie Jenkins. Glad I checked...didn't know all that. excuse me for going slightly off topic... Grandal was 0-4, with one walk and two strikeouts today Up-to-Date Stats: .157BA/.398OBP/.409SLG 46G-127AB-31R-20H-10HR-23RBI-51BB-49K .
