First Bite: Muchacho

Too cold for golf (frost delay), so Will bought us breakfast burritos at Muchacho, a Mexican place on Memorial Drive in Cabbagetown, east of Oakland Cemetary. A great bacon & egg burrito, quite filling, though not quite a huge as I'd hope.

Shivonne came to visit, and treated us to a performance of Baby Shark.

Drove Ceil almost to South Carolina, 16 miles east of Athens, past Comer to 3 Porches Farm. Winnie enjoyed stretching her legs, but wasn't interested in the avain creatures.

Secrets to live a good life.

Steve Barber was the first Baltimore Oriole pitcher to win 20 games in a season: 20-13 in 1963. He was once the losing pitcher in a no-hitter that HE (and a teammate) threw, on 30-Apr-1967 with Stu Miller. Barber was characterized in Jim Bouton's "Ball Four" as trying to prevent a sore arm from coming to the attention of management of the Seattle Pilots. s a rookie he had reputation for wildness and led the AL in walks. He once was in a starting rotation with Bo Belinski and Steve Dalkowski, in Pensacola.

Dom DiMaggio was the first American League outfielder to record 500 putouts in a season, with 503 in 1948. He has the longest hitting streak in Red Sox history: 34 games in 1949. Brother Joe caught the last out to end that streak.
