The post with no name

Alright guys, theres really nothing on my agenda today. But I thought i'd leave you with a few tidbits from the sports world

After going 5 for 5 yesterday and becoming the 28th person in baseball history, The New York Yankees have placed a counter in their stadium for the countdown to 4,000 hits for Derek Jeter. Jeter is only the third short stop to achieve 3,000 hits. The other two are Cal Ripken Jr. and Honus Wagner.

the next closest person to 3,000 hits is Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez with 2,842. Pudge will likely need 2 more seasons to get to 3,000 as he's not a 175 to 200 hit per season player anymore. As a homer, I'd like to see Texas sign him after this season. He will be a free agent and I would like to see him do it in Texas. But as a Pudge fan, I want to see him get it regardless of where he plays.

The railings in the outfield are all at least 33 inches high, city ordinance mandates that they have to be 26 inches high. The club is looking into raising them for more safety. If you'd like to donate to the Shannon Stone fund, there are several ways to do so. The Rangers kiosk at the 3rd base entrance is the easiest way.

Cleveland Indians play 13 of their last 19 games this season against the Detroit Tigers.

40% of Arizonas remaining schedule is against the LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres.
