Waldo, I do not think I was talking to you, and if you think he only was joking, I have a bridge Iâll make you a great deal on.

Kinda.
Baseball and stats are a lot like P&J, they have gone together well for a long time.
OWA came through as usual ==> where did you find it, HH?
He found it on some compuserve diskettes.
I fully realize I lower the Baseball IQ of this forum by being here but it is a target rich environment for for baseball fans w/ a thirst to learn more.
AstrosFainBigD!
PS: Now, Jim knows how many pitches he threw that day.
The sad thing is the goofball thinks HH found the number of pitches. Seriously, is anyone really that clueless?
I pulled those numbers straight out of myâŚcompuserve diskettesâŚyeah thatâs it.

I bet someone was keeping a scoresheet for that game. We just need to find it and then weâll have a better chance of determining the number of pitches (provided they kept count of the number of foul balls with 2 strikes).

Probably in the Smithsonian.
I was thinking the Ransom Center or the Johnson Library but yeah, something like that is probably in the Smithsonian.
No doubt there was a scorebook for that season and for every season UT plays. Whether they keep them and where are other issues, and who knows if the scorekeepers marked each pitch. What a mystery, Snuffleupagus. The Open Records Act is your friend.
The 2nd half of this great thread makes my hair hurt. Iâll try to bring it back full circle to greatness: Jim, are you planning to write anything else anytime soon? Your âFrom the Dugoutâ series was great, much anticipated stuff.
No plans. The current site is all message board and does not post individual writing content. I am pleased the archives are buried around here somewhere. Strosrays contributions were awesome as were contributions of others. The quality of the writing was really good.
Made my head hurt too, and the guy thinks HH answered the question of how many pitches I threw.

Someone who really wants to learn could start with these two nuggets of advice:
-
Your brain is like a two-way radio. When you are stuck on transmit, nothing is received.
-
Learning is not just collecting facts; it is understanding and interpreting facts to get at something deeper. This extends to the collection of facts itself. For example, you are unlikely to find video evidence of the battle of Lexington & Concord. Like other recently cited examples, they did not do that then.

In a realm where we were told that Bagwell could move back to 3b and throw left handed, this is the dumbest nonsense I have ever read here.
Amen and absolution - i.e. haters gonna hate.
