Did anyone see the answer to yesterday's AFLAC trivia question during the Sox game? The question was name the 3 players who hit 50 HR's duing their first season with a new club. I guessed Cecil, A-Pud and Griffey. My buddy said Cecil, A-Pud and Roger Maris. Cecil and A-Pud are correct but Griffey hit 40 his first season with Cincy and Maris hit 39 his first season with the Yankees. Who is the third guy??

Keyser, Babe's 1920 year is possibly the greatest single season in MLB history.

That's not too shabby. Did he pitch for the Yankees or was he 'just' a hitter? I've been wanting to read a book about The Babe. If someone can recommend a good one it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure there will be a "glorious" objection to this statement.
