    Leap Day

    We only get to do this every four years, I thought I'd get a leap on it.

    Players Who Died on February 29


    Leap Day events

    On 1896/02-29 Ban Johnson said "The Western League has passed the stage of minor league"
    On 1940/02-29 a judge said Comiskey heirs didn't have to sell Chicago White Sox.
    On 2000/02-29 Sparky Anderson,Bid McPhee & Turkey Stearnes were voted to Hall of Fame.

    Happy jumping
    Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

    Kids born on Leap Day have to be very patient while waiting for their birthdays to come around. Imagine forgetting their birthday!

    Were any of these ML players patient hitters?

    Leap Years are a boon to the economy since Uncle Sam gets to collect one more day's worth of taxes from everybody.

        Poor Al Rosen-he had a great but short career. Too bad he retired at age 8.
