January 19, 2023: Restaurant Pitch
Okay, it's a place like one of those Brazilian steakhouse places where they walk around cutting off pieces from big slabs of meat, but with sandwiches!

Lee Head played in the minors for twenty-one seasons. He batted .304, but he was best known for his ability to avoid striking out. In 1933 he struck out three times in 468 at-bats. In 1935 he did even better, striking out once in 402 at-bats.
Chet Trail is the only player to have been on a World Series roster who never appeared in a major league game, regular season or post-season. He is also the last man to make an out against Satchel Paige in an organized baseball game while playing in the Carolina League in 1966. After baseball, he became a pastor and eventually a bishop in the Church of God in Christ.
Third baseman Brad Mills was drafted by Minnesota in the 16th round of the 1977 January draft, but did not sign.
Rick Adair was in baseball from 1979-2013. Most recently, he was the pitching coach of the Baltimore Orioles. He is the nephew of former Twins pitching coach Art Fowler.
January 18, 2023: Turn Of Phrase
Forgive me if I've given this prompt before, but what's an expression that just doesn't sit right with you, one that causes a mental discomfort. For example, saying something "scratches an itch" is on the same level as someone chewing loudly for me.

We would also like to wish a happy birthday to Scot's oldest son.
