How does Pujols not score on a suicide squeeze in the 12th inning of a game when the catcher drops the ball? I didn't see the game, I was listening on the radio, so I can't comment directly, but is it possible Pujols was intimidated by the Giants catcher? I'm guessing he didn't really want to run the squeeze in the first place. He was just following orders.
Oh well... the Giants win!

Number 42
Sixty years ago, MLB broke the color barrier when number 42 stepped onto the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Jackie Robinson made history as the first African-American ballplayer in Major League Baseball (yes, we could discuss the Negro Leagues at length, but I'm not headed in that direction today).
This weekend MLB will be celebrating that anniversary, and players from teams throughout MLB will wear, for one game, the number 42...which as most of you know, has been universally retired throughout the game (unless an active player still was wearing the number, as in the case of Mariano Rivera of the Yankees). You can see the list of players, coaches and managers who will be wearing the number here.
So as we head into this second weekend of the baseball season...here's to you, Mr. Robinson.
