6-6-6 ~ Baseball Style
And other strange happenings from the Diamond
With tongue firmly in cheek, I give a Hat Tip to Fourballs.com
What happened at *yech* Dodger Stadium on June 4, 1990? Just another chapter in the eternal struggle between good and evil, that's all.
With runners on second and third and two outs in the top half of the second inning, Mets’ shortstop Tim Teufel stepped to the plate to face Dodgers’ pitcher Jim Gott. Teufel quickly got ahead in the count 2-and-0, but Gott came back with three hard fastballs for the strike out, getting his team out of the early jam.
While many in the crowd at Dodger Stadium that day simply cheered for their team’s success on the field, four German tourists sitting in the upper deck wiped beads of sweat from their brows, knowing that the world was safe from Lucifer once again…at least for now.
(For those of you who don't Sprechen ze Deutsch: The word “Gott” means “God” and “Teufel” is “Devil” in German)
And while we're talking about the weird goings on in the world of baseball, I offer up the following...
Johnson and Wang Receive Honor
The sodomite publication, Out Magazine named New York Yankee Pitchers Randy Johnson and Chien-Ming Wang as their Inaugural Co-Athletes of the Year. Out Magazine which claims they present “Gay Culture Defined”, claims they are trying to expand their scope into the world of sports.
“Sports magazines have been doing this for years. We figured it was time gay guys stopped worrying about Broadway and started paying attention to sports like other men. Sports are what define the modern man, and believe me, we are all about the modern man”, said Out Magazine editor Thad Harper.
Out Magazine delving into the world of sports is not surprising, however the decision to honor Randy Johnson and Chien-Ming Wang was. Wang, who spent a significant amount of time on the disabled-list and Johnson, who had an off year by his standards, were both surprised to learn that they had been honored. Harper defended his magazine's decision.
“We love them. They are totally our favorite players. We put it to a vote, and nearly all of our readers said they loved Johnson and Wang. The only person who didn’t vote for them was this guy from Rhode Island, and we’re not even sure he really is a guy.”

With the date 6-6-6- almost upon us, I decided to jump in the ol' wayback machine and find one of my favorite Baseball/Sign Of The Coming Apocalypse stories. And while I was at it, I also stumbled across a story of the homo-hijacking of America's Pastime.
