By the way, TRIVIA TIME:
What is the only MLB team to NEVER throw a no-hitter?
Hint: There is only one and they are still an organization...


Great stuff Scott...

Pitching a no-no on LSD might even eclipse back-to-back no-hitters (in terms of improbability). Would love to see a Photo of the event, should you ever come across one.

I think I know the answer to your Trivia question, since I lived there for so long... The S.D. Padres, right?

Thanks Mark! You are correct, sir. The Padres have not thrown a no-hitter in 52 years as an organization. Unbelievable!
If you have not ever seen it, Dirk Lammers has a great blog on no-hitters called nonohitters.com. He continually keeps score on how many games have been played in the Padres no no-hitter streak. It's a great blog, BTW.
He also has written a good book on the no-hitter topic.

Great stuff, Dennis! I worked with a Hubbs (Russ) on the Las Vegas FD who was a descendant of Ken.

Default Babe Ruth

I don't know if schools still participate.

The Babe Ruth Foundation Sportsmanship Award was started by Ruth for underprivileged children who exhibited true sportsmanship during the school year.

I believe it was started around 1947 or so?

I picked up an unused plaque and award separately on eBay.

I also have an award given to a student - not sure where it is.

The plaque was made by Balfour (about 10x16") - I saw a pic where the plaque was placed with other school awards.

There are some pics on the net with students but no info.





On the back:



Individual award - never issued/engraved:





I had a writeup on this but couldn't find it - perhaps someone else has more info?
