For you factoid fans..
#1
Did you know.....that when a game in MLB is forfeited (under certain circumstances of course) the score will always be 9-0, one run for each inning(s) of 9 regardless of the actual score of the game upon it being declared forfeited. The winner of course gets the 9 even if it's a no-hitter against them.. The losers?  Nothing and a lot of anguish..
I was reading about the now infamous 10 cent beer night in Cleveland back in the 70s when a riot broke out and both teams had to defend themselves against the drunken mobs with bats.. http://www.espn.com/espn/page1/story?page=beernight/080604
Some mean part of me almost wishes it had happened in Cincinnati, but hey, it's Cleveland. We don't live in Cleveland as Sam Wyche reminds us.. lol

I love the odd stories of baseball..

After checking with baseballrulesacademy.com I guess the above is BS.. I was lead o believe the above by an erroneous writer.. No wait...You can't be erroneous on the internet! That's against the internet rules!
