Randy Wolf about to break a record tonight

fonda1119 · Apr 19, 2011

A quirky record, but still... After Verlander's crazy balk-thing I thought I'd do some research. I found out that since World War II Randy Wolf has the second most career IP without a balk. After 3 2/3 IP tonight he'll surpass Kirk Rueter as the leader.

Just your interesting stat of the day, if anyone cares.

glad i added him to my :lol: fantasy team!

I will laugh so hard if he balks tonight in the first inning.

I really hope Bob Davidson is umpiring 1st base tonight.

I'll be at the game tonight eagerly anticipating this momentous occasion.

Haha, Balkin' Bob would have been great! Unfortunately he's not on this crew.

Marvin Hudson, Tim McClelland, Ted Barrett, and Brian Runge are the umpires for the series. Not sure who is going to be where tonight though.

Cool to see Trevor Hoffman on that list, crazy to think of over a thousand straight appearances without a balk.

Thinking of the game tonight I was starting to like the idea of a rainout, but now I have a reason to watch!
I'll crack beer when the record breaks.

Going to send him a TTM request and ask him to inscribe "No Balks Record" or something to that affect.

Seriously, I am going to.

I sent him a request to ST and never got anything back. Maybe because I never asked for that inscription.

All of them are very fair umpires. Is McClelland behind the plate becuase his strike zone is horrible alot of the tim

Yeah, he's behind the plate. Barrett is at first. Runge is at second. Hudson is at third.
