About Me:
TOTAL DAYS to #2 & within 1 1/2 games of 1st in 52 days!!! Started out achieving a solid 80% win rate! I then decided to pick nearly every game for the sake of getting to the top. You will note that ALL players in the "Top 5 or Top 10" have picked huge amounts of games, so it becomes such a mindless endeaver. IT WAS FUN BEING IN THE CHASE. PLEASE, there are better things to do with your precious time. --- whymihappy { Now RETIRED from RUWT? }

Favorite Athletes:
PRO: Baseball Harvey Kuenn All-Star SS and Outfield.
Detroit Tigers > Cleveland Indians > San Francisco Giants > Chicago Cubs > Philadelphia Pillies.
The unassuming, broad-faced Tiger bonus baby reached the majors in his first pro season after just 63 games in the low minors - Quad City Tigers (Davenport, Iowa), III League. En route to the 1953 Rookie of the Year Award, Kuenn hit .308 with a league-leading 209 hits, setting a ML rookie record with 679 at-bats and an AL rookie record with 167 singles. Smooth and consistent, Kuenn was Detroit's shortstop from 1953 to 1957 and then switched to the outfield. A line-drive hitter, he led the AL in hits four times and won the league batting title in 1959 with a .353 mark. Traded to Cleveland the next year for home run champion Rocky Colavito, he was booed by Indian fans who blamed him for Colavito's departure. Nevertheless, Kuenn hit .308. He spent the remainder of his playing career in the NL and retired after the 1966 season with 2,092 hits.
Made a Brewer coach in 1972, the native of Milwaukee overcame heart and stomach surgery and the amputation of his right leg below the knee. In June 1982 he took over as manager of the fifth-place Brewers. He took the team, known as "Harvey's Wallbangers" for their heavy hitting, to the 1982 World Series, where they lost in seven games to St. Louis. Kuenn was named Manager of the Year.
Kuenn had the dubious distinction of making the final out in two of Sandy Koufax's four career no-hitters—in 1963 and 1965. In the former, the final out was on a ground ball back to none other than Koufax. In the latter, he struck out for the final out in Koufax's perfect game, the last no-hitter pitched against the Chicago Cubs to date.

Players You Love to Hate:
HATE: Don't hate any of them...
DISLIKE: New York Yankees although I still like to watch when A-Rod's hitting.

Best Game You've Attended:
COLLEGE: Basketball Gonzaga 68 Loyola Marymount 67 in 2006 WCC Tournament title game. The game was decided on a defensive play as time expired. It was the last home game Adam Morrison played at Gonzaga.
