Box Score Mayberry RFD




The Fan likes the box scores over at Yahoo Sports. Unlike some other sites, they seem very straight forward. You can go right to the the main baseball page and the list of games is there and you are only one click away from the information you crave.

If you have read the Fan's previous post, you know the Fan was furiously flipping back and forth between two exciting innings--one between the Tigers and Blue Jays and one between the Yankees and Orioles.

Even when watching the games, the Fan still likes keeping the box scores going because it adds to the experience. Hey, so the Fan is weird. What else is new. In the midst of these two bizarre and exciting innings taking place hundreds of miles, and two countries apart, the Fan came across these two pictures. The one on the left is Zack Minor, the Tigers' pitcher. The one on the right is Adam Lind, who was batting against Minor with the bases loaded.

And in the middle of all that, the Fan busts out laughing because of those two pictures. Minor looks like Gomer Pyle and Lind looks like Opie. "Holy cow," says the Fan, "Gomer's pitching to Opie!"
