Did anybody happen to catch the highlights, specifically the Brewers Loss to the Rockies or the Pirates loss to the Cardinals?
Now I know what you are asking yourself, "Why would Dawgbones, a Phillies Phan, be interested in either of these two games? It's early in the season, and the Phils do not look to be much of a threat this year??
Well, the reason behind this could be caught on the highlight reels for both games. There was an inside-the-park homer hit in each of these games. Norichika Aoki hit his first career home run, an inside-the-parker in the fourth inning. And Alex Presley races around the bags to earn himself an inside-the-park home run, giving the Pirates an early 1-0 lead.
Now according to MLB, having two inside-the-park homers hit on the same day is not that rare of an occurance to warrant extra attention. But, I wonder how often it is done by two players wearing the same jersey number, which is where my fascination comes in to play, as they both wear the number 7 jersey for their respective teams!!
Way to go boys!! Congratulations on a very fine piece of hauling ass around the bags!!
Thanks for reading,
Have a GReat week!!

What I thought was amazing was that Aoki's homer was the first of his career. I wonder how many times that happens. Or even cooler would be an inside the park home run in your first career at bat.
