    ...had to congratulate him and his Yankees on a another "Bought" WS title...his response?...."yeah...ain't that a bitch"... :lol:

    Good one Pops.

    He did leave me with some trivia however....

    (1) Who was the oldest recorded rookie in MLB history?

    (2) In Don Larsons "Perfect Game", who was the 27th batter he faced?`

    Don't know that but every Yankee fan 50 or over has heard Mitchell's name. Satchel Paige was a guess. My second choice would have been Minnie Minoso of the White Sox.

    Hey AJ! You never answered the trivia question re: Drew Brees' college number. I know the number, but I don't know the significance of the number, other than it's the date of his birthday. What's the answer?
