For the third straight year, Matsui homered in his first at-bat. This time, the second baseman added a wrinkle, hitting an inside-the-park homer on Thursday night in his first plate appearance of the 2006 season, after being activated from the DL.

He became the first player in MLB history to homer in his first at-bat the first three years of his big-league career, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Ken Griffey Jr. homered in his first at-bat three straight seasons (1997-99) with the Mariners, but 1997 was not his rookie year. "I feel sorry being compared to him, it's Ken Griffey Jr.," Matsui said through an interpreter.

This is just a horribly sad story. I had the opportunity to watch JR Rider play many times and I have to say that he may have had more pure physical basketball ability than almost anyone Ive ever seen play the game. He was just sensational when he was in his prime. In fact, he won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest when the game was here in Phoenix.

We can only pray for him and his family and hope things get better. What a shame.

The thing thats strange about that is that one year he AVERAGED over 50 points a game for the entire season! What that tells me is that he had a lot of very, very high scoring games because you would think that if you averaged 50+ that you would have had a streak longer than 7 games in a row over 50.

That the hamburger was named after the town of Hamburg in Germany ... ??

The actual hamburger as we know it today has 2 versions of how it was born ...

The honour of producing the first proper hamburger goes to Charlie Nagreen of Seymour, WI. In 1885 Nagreen introduced the American hamburger at the Outgamie County Fair in Seymour. (Seymour is recognised as the hamburger capital of the world.)

However, there is another claim to that throne. There is an account of Frank and Charles Menches who, also in 1885, went to the Hamburg, New York county fair to prepare their famous pork sausage sandwiches. But since the local meat market was out of pork sausage, they used ground beef instead. Alas, another hamburger.

Did you know that on the old Dr. Pepper logo and labels the numbers 10, 2 and 4 appeared for a specific reason?

The reason is that a doctor (not Dr. Pepper by the way) had made the determination that in most human beings, the most "sluggish" times of the day are 10:30, 2:30 and 4:30, so, if you drink a Dr. Pepper 30 minutes before that it will help give you that little extra boost you need to get you thru those day parts!!!

That the Earth is in constant danger of being blasted into oblivion by one of the thousands of asteroids currently whizzing past us at near unfathomable speeds? All it takes is one (a small one) w/ the right trajectory. Oh, and they're constantly knocking into each other making their trajectories that much more random and harder to track/find. And of course :cardinals:

Did you know that the price of gas here in Phoenix has gone up for the 13th week in a row!!!

Also, did you know that the Chinese just discovered a new oil field capable of producing billions of gallons of oil? Maybe the price of oil/gas will come down soon???

Great, there goes the trade deficit...and how much do you want to bet that China continues to use up everyone else's oil so that their oil can INCREASE in value?

The only way out of this is to come up with a viable alternative to petroleum. Otherwise, demand is high and supplies are (artificially) limited.

Im hoping that they DO use this oil theyve discovered in their own country and subsequently the demand for oil elsewhere decreases, thus, lowering the price, but Im probably looking at this too simplistically and maybe Im being a little too naive!!

More than 5 billion crayons are produced each year.

More than 100 billion crayons have been produced so far.

The first crayons consisted of a mixture of charcoal and oil.

In the early 1900s, cousins Edwin Binney and Harold Smith developed a nontoxic wax crayon.

Did you know?

More than 2,700 languages spoken in the world

Did you know?

The tomato is the world's most popular fruit.

And yes, just like the brinjal and the pumpkin, botanically speaking it is a fruit, not a vegetable.

More than 60 million tons of tomatoes are produced per year, 16 million tons more than the second most popular fruit, the banana.

Apples are the third most popular (36 million tons), then oranges (34 million tons) and watermelons (22 million tons).

In 1950, Diners Club and American Express launched their charge cards in the USA, the first "plastic money".

In 1951, Diners Club issued the first credit card to 200 customers who could use it at 27 restaurants in New York.

But it was only until the establishment of standards for the magnetic strip in 1970 that the credit card became part of the information age

Did you know that about 40% of our sales are from credit cards now? Thats fast food!!! Wow, when we used to hit double digit %s years ago I thought that was amazing. Pretty soon credit cards will be ahead of cash even at fast food places!!!

The can opener was invented 48 years after cans were introduced.

The tin cannister, or can, was invented in 1810 by a Londoner, Peter Durand.

The can opener was invented in 1858 by American Ezra Warnet.

Cans were opened with a hammer and chisel before the advent of can openers.

Did you know that driving with your air conditioner off really doesnt save you any gas? Just heard that on tv, Channel 10.

Ive always turned the air off in order to save gas. I wonder if all of that suffering in the heat was really worth it? Guess I'll leave the air on now all of the time and be more comfortable!!

I have read that when you turn off the AC the savings you would get is lost by the open window in the car causing drag which reduces your mileage ....

About one person in 30 is color blind.

More men than women are affected by color blindness.

Healthy eyes are so sensitive to light that a candle burning in the dark can be detected (1 mile) away.

The human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colors.

There currently is no machine that can achieve this remarkable feat.

The computer was launched in 1943, more than 100 years after Charles Babbage designed the first programmable device.

In 1998, the Science Museum in London, UK, built a working replica of the Babbage machine, using the materials and work methods available at Babbage's time. It worked just as Babbage had intended.

Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877.

Peter Carl Goldmark invented the LP record in 1948.

The Compact Disc was invented by Joop Sinjou and Toshi Tada Doi in 1979.

It took the CD fifteen years to replace the LP.

that apex predators will resort to cannablism, even in pack situations, when the enviornment becomes harsh enough to dictate so?
Though the pack will only eat their own if the member dies on their own. They don't hunt and chase them down.

Bank of America started as Bank of Italy ...

Amedeo Giannini, son of Italian immigrants to the US, started the Bank of America in a converted saloon in San Francisco at 9 am on Monday, 17 October 1904.

On the first day, 28 deposits totalled $8,780.

Giannini changed the name to Bank of America in 1928 and remained chairman until 1963.

There are about a billion bicycles in the world, twice as many as motorcars.

Almost 400 million bicycles are in China.

On a penny-farthing bicycle, one pedal gave the wheel one turn.

An ancestor that started on land.
Whales still have the "ankle" bones to show for it. Though those are pretty much useless.

I remember it well HH. That was the greatest round ever IMO. Johnny was amazing in his day. When he got hot, NO ONE could touch him......

...that a lake in Africa (Lake Nyos) has the potential to kill millions of people? Not through the very large carniores and territorial herbivores it harbours, but through the veins of methane and carbon dioxide gasses it has underneath the lake bed. If punctured, the lake would explode (soda bottle effect) and release a fast moving cloud of methane (which is not only flamable but causes sore-like burns on the body) and carbon dioxide (suffocation). This has happend on a smaller scale once already. Nyos's sister lake (name escapes me) killed 1800 people when a landslide sent tons of rock straight into the lake and opened the crust beneath.
