    One Weird Fact You May Not Know For Every Team

    Filling time and scrapping for stories. MLB.com had a piece about "One Weird Fact..."

    The Reds pop are mentioned twice. The first is in the Braves fact - a 2-0 shutout in 1944 in a game against us. Former Reds pitcher Red Barrett pitched the game in 1 hour 15 minutes with only 58 pitches, the most efficient in MLB history. Bucky Walters only allowed 6 hits himself with one walk and one K, but was undone by sloppy fielding by his mates and only two hits in the game.

    The Reds "weird fact" is that the team's last steal of home was by Adam Dunn. There's a video clip. The play now would not be permitted as it unfolded with Dunn showing his football skills in barrelling over the catcher, even though the catcher was in his lane. Curious if others share that assessment.
