Love and Hate
"He loves to be around the things he hates." Bob Colacielo, re Paul Morrissey, Warhol movie director.
I hate these things but they're kind of interesting:
1. Basketball:-- Karim Abdul Jabbhour--100 points in a single NBA game.
2. Football--John Unitas--47 consecutive games with one or more TD passes.
3. Baseball--Ted Cox--six safe hits in first six official at bats (in 1978, first and last time in 131 years.)
4. Joe Dimaggio--47 straight games with at least one safe hit.
5. Ted Williams--last baseball player to bat .400 for a season--but NOT the first. Of all players with 5,000 or more at bats there were 15 with batting averages over .300. But Edgar Martinez had a .500 season, and several had 400's. #2 and #4 will not be broken any time soon. Go Google more on this if you want--I'm sick of it already.
