Watched a good episode of Peyton’s Places on ESPN+ about Elvis being a big football Fan. Also an episode of The Eli Manning show on YouTube with guests Cooper and Tracy Morgan. Morgan said he had always believed in God, but was extra thankful for seeing him through after a tractor trailer plowed over his car. Just brought up God without being asked.

Not much to report. Waited until gas prices went up to fill my tank. Drove straight to my friend Lee’s house after work yesterday, so it was well after 8:30 when I got home.

This morning I caved in and stopped by Wendys for the first time all year. I’ll be extra good the rest of the day. After work I’m driving another guy up 400 to Hot Stove, so there won’t be any of my regular stops along the way.

MC drove Shivonne home from NC yesterday. Will drove home from Roanoke today in his new Mazda 3 hatchback. Ceil has been driving their huge old Toyota Sequoia around all week. The Sequoia has like 400,000 and is ready to retire.

MICKEY LOLICH  [SABR Bio] is the only American League non-knuckleballer to pitch more than 350 innings in a season in the playoff era. Since 1969, only Lolich passed 350 when he was on the mound for 376 innings in the 1971 campaign. Knuckleballer Wilbur Wood did it in each of the subsequent 2 seasons. Among lefties, only CC Sabathia struck out more American League batters in his career. Sabathia finished w/2,965 career AL Ks. Lolich’s total is 2,679, ahead of Randy Johnson’s 2,545. Lolich struck out his cousin three times in major league games. Ron Lolich, playing for CLE went 2 for 6 including a double in the games of 05-Jul- & 31-Aug-1973.
