    Circle me Bert!

    Come on Banny! We need this one tonight!

    Probably my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon. How do you not love the wimpy Tea Totallers?

    I’m going to go ahead and call a balk on each of those pitchers.

    I think Bob Tewksbury used this pitch for the Cardinals. Apparently, before some arm injuries, Tewks was quite the hard thrower.

    That game has actually been analyzed at some length:

    Live Banny log sounds fantastic.

    Although, I feel like pitching against someone named Outman exponentially decreases one’s chances of winning.

    Also, if I remember correctly, throwing your glove like Bugs does at the end is a three-base error – which would tie the game up and probably send it into extras.

    Perry, that was a good article. Thanks for the link.

    And I’m surprised Maddux beat out Jim Thorpe. I mean, Maddux is one of the best pitchers ever, but better than Thorpe?

    Not to be a big nerd, but among other obvious problems with that cartoon – how do the Gashouse Gorillas go from being the visiting team to being the home team at the end of the cartoon? It’s seven minutes long! Are animators’ attention spans that short?

    Bunny Log?

    At the risk of being an even bigger nerd, the line score after Bugs Bunny scores his first run (and also his 2nd and 3rd runs) shows the Gorillas scoring as follows: 10, 28, 16, 42. This adds up to 96.

    Yet before the Gorillas last at bat in the bottom of the ninth, they are shown as trailing 96-95. Where did that 96th run go?

    “Maddux is one of the best pitchers ever, but better than Thorpe?” — Richard #7

    Who knew Thorpe was a pitcher? ;-)

    Seriously, I think Jim Thorpe belongs on the very, very, VERY short list of greatest athletes of the 20th Century (if not “of all time”).

    However, I voted for Mad Dog because, to the best of my knowledge, Thorpe was not associated with ANY numbers, much less 31. Among other things, he played baseball (1913-1919)before numbers were even used (1929). He certainly did not wear a number during the Olympics. And I cannot find an image of him in a football uniform with anything other than “C” on it (for Carlyle, I assume), with the exception of one picture of an extremely out-of-shape older Thorpe wearing 68.

    Where did the association between Thorpe and 31 come from? Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Big Flax #8 and Ebster #10 –

    I guess I am just as big a nerd as you two, because I noticed both of those things myself.

    And just when exactly do batters line up right behind each other, as in Bugs’ one-pitch, nine-swing inning?

    Around 1:30, there is an animation of Dusty Baker’s worst nightmare: runners clogging the basepaths. And you just know he wouldn’t care that they had scored 96 (or was it 95?) runs.
