Bruce Bochy's white eyelashes have same origin story as The Joker
In my youth I met Bruce Bochy on several occasions. In those days his hair was a rich dark chocolate brown and stood in stark contrast to his eyelashes. The reason? Because his eye lashes were pure white! As white as freshly fallen snow. At times they were almost invisible like a spider's web...
Braves Stats of the Day: The Greatness of Bobby Cox
I figured I'd get Bobby Cox Weekend started off a little early with some fun comparisons between Bobby and his most successful contemporaries. Below, I look at the six active managers other than Bobby (counting Lou Piniella as "active") with at least 1,000 wins, and see what they'd have to do to...
