Obscure stats. [View all]

[Mr.Bill]

I just love it during a game when the stat guy feeds things to the announcers. Last night the Giants had a rookie at Short Stop named Casey Schmitt. He was playing in his third big league game, filling in for Brandon Crawford who has a mild calf tightness and should return soon.

Well Schmitt has started off with a bang hitting his first home run and totalling eight hits in his first three games. He was four-for-four last night including his first career double and his second home run. That ties a record stat that has been kept since 1901. He is tied with Willie McCovey. Imagine three games into your career and you are in the record books next to Willie Mac.

Hopefully he has a long and great career with the Giants.
