I love short named players when I'm keeping score at a game, especially relief pitchers in the late innings...when they come in for one batter /Otto

...curse upon guys like Isringhausen for one batter in the 11th

...or Vanlandingham

It was killer having to write those in a small space, especially with a double switch

Counting letters is like playing jazz. It's the letters you're not counting that make the song.
