1.) Who's the biggest Cry Baby in Sports? My list and I would appreciate your input:

Tennis: John McEnroe..."You can't be serious"...I'm afraid so!
Football: Tom Brady...Did you see that game against the Ravens?
Hockey: Sidney Crosby...He complains more than my wife.
Skating: Tonya Harding...literally crying to the judges about her skates. What an Embarassment!
Basketball: LeBron James...He did alot of whining when the Wizards employed the Hack a Shaq D.
Baseball: ????? What do you think?

2.) This has been done before....but here are the current players with the longest last names in the four major sports (no hyphenated names or two word names):

Baseball: Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Football: TJ Houshmandzadeh
Hockey: Jamie Langenbrunner
Basketball: Wally Sczerbiak

3.) There is at least one guy named or nicknamed "Red" in the Hall of Fame of each major sport.

Baseball: Red Ruffing and Red Schoendienst
Football: Red Grange
Hockey: Red Kelly
Basketball: Red Auerbach

4.) Over 15 percent of the current starting quarterbacks in the NFL have the same first name...(5 out of 32 teams)

Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, Matt Hasselbeck, Matt Cassel, Matt Stafford....The way Kurt Warner is playing...Matt Leinart may be starting soon.

5.) Only one pitcher has ever hit a grand slam in World Series history...Dave McNally in 1970. He joins Bob Gibson as the only two pitchers to hit more than one home run in World Series competition. Gibson hit his two homers in 1967 and 1968...while McNally hit his homers in 1969 and 1970.

It's probably a safe bet that the Orioles are the only team to have two pitchers hit grand slams in the same postseason.

In addition to McNally's World Series salami, Mike Cuellar hit one against the Twins in the ALCS that same year.
