Here's hoping that Clams is chillin' with someone cool up in that big EMAW in the sky. RIP Clams, RIP.

    There's a new sheriff in town.
There's Brett, then there's everyone else.

My fav. Royal, though: Amos Otis.

Cliff Pastornicky

I was present for his first (maybe only) major league home run.  3 run shot in the 8th or something like that.

Wasn't that his first hit?  Seems like he started 0 for 16 then did something big.

    Powertard Un-approved
June 19, 1983

After going 0-15 to start his career, Cliff Pastornicky drives in Joe Simpson and Don Slaught with his 3-run 7th inning home run to give the Royals a 4-2 lead over the Mariners.  After which he was taken out of the game for defensive replacement Greg Pryor.  Bill Castro picked up the win, which would turn out to be the last of his 10-year major league career.  Mike Armstrong closed out the game in the 9th for a save.  The original pitching matchup was Matt Young for Seattle versus Keith Creel for the Royals.

Pastornicky would go on to record hits in his next 3 games, including his second and final home run two days later against Oakland, again helping the Royals to a 4-2 win.  He would make his final major league appearance on June 27 as a defensive replacement, ending a major league career of 32 AB's in 10 games over 14 days.

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

Bye, Bye Balboni !  (after he hit a home run)...
I love the smell of peat in the evening.  That smell, you know that earthy smell...  Smells like...whisky !

He struck out waaay too much IMO and had a fairly low OBP.
