It would drive Homer crazy! I love that picture of Sunny. Cats are such odd creatures. During the ‘92 World Series, I would shout “Home Run Joe Carter!” everytime Joe came up to bat.

Highlight of our week was going camping in our new, used pop-up camper at Minneopa State Park and hiking to see the double waterfalls. I also decided to name the persistant cardinal that has been making his daily appearance at our windows for a whole year now. I decided that being Tapper is never going away, he might as well have a name. Ohhhhh, that picture of Sunny is priceless!

Oh, wait, maybe not. I just found this on a Mets-based website: NoNoHitters.com No-hitter vs. hit for cycle Which is more rare, a pitcher throwing a no hitter or a batter hitting for the cycle (a single, double, triple and home run in one game)? Turns out that throwing a no hitter is slightly rarer than hitting for cycle, at least since a Major League Baseball committee tightened its definition of a no hitter in 1991, knocking 50 of such feats off the record books. So why have nine Mets players hit for cycle, yet not a one has hurled a no hitter? Do you know that hitting for the cycle is rarer than throwing a no-hitter? Oh, wait, maybe not.
