Awhile ago, I set it up on my work computer so whenever I type the word "eyes", it autocorrects to "ಠ_ಠ". I guess the idea was so I could add that to emails instead having to go copy and paste it. I guess I don't type the word "eyes" much, because every time I actually do and it autocorrects, I'm always surprised and amused. It does that across all Office products actually. Just happened in Excel.

There have been two players in the majors named Jeff Pfeffer. They were brothers. "Big Jeff" Pfeffer was actually Francis Xavier Pfeffer. Plain old Jeff Pfeffer was actually Edward Joseph Pfeffer. "Big Jeff" was 6'1", 185 pounds. Plain old Jeff was 6'3", 210.
Brick Owens was a longtime major league umpire. His first name was Clarence. He got the nickname "Brick" after being hit by one while umpiring a game in Pittsburg, Kansas early in his career.
Mule Suttles is sometimes credited as the all-time Negro Leagues home run leader with 237. He swung a fifty-ounce bat.
One of the top second basemen in the history of the Mexican League, Moises Camacho played there from 1951-1975. He was known as the Rogers Hornsby of Mexico.
Life is strange in some ways. For example, I could tell you I asked a woman for phone number yesterday in the hopes that we could hook up in the future. This is true actually, but it's also because she's the mom of one of Rick's friends and they want us to set up a play date.
