Around SBN: PHOTOS: Mike Moser's Dunk Face Is Spectacular

Jason Stark covers the oddest feats and stats of the baseball year. A lot of fun stuff to be found. Per the Diamondbacks: "ONLY AT ALTITUDE DEPT.: The Diamondbacks became the first team in history to take a 6-foot-10 pitcher (Randy Johnson) out of a game and replace him with a TALLER pitcher (6-foot-11 Jon Rauch)." and "PIECES OF EIGHT DEPT.: On May 21, the Marlins beat a pitcher whose record for the year was 8-0 (Brandon Webb). Exactly two days later, they managed to LOSE to a pitcher who was 0-8 (Barry Zito)."

Last out collected by a reliever wearing No.:

45 (Tug McGraw) and … 54 (Brad Lidge)

I wish I had the time to look up all this stuff.

If you make every game a life-and-death thing, you're going to have problems. You'll be dead a lot.

Well,

I suspect you spend a lot of time doing stuff like that when it’s your job.

Yup.

Apparently, there was a time when people wouldn’t do the stuff that Jim does for free without getting paid for it.
