Seeing Gene Brabender get drafted reminded me of a story in the book Ball Four which I found humorous.

"In the first of these games, at Yankee Stadium, Brabender again avenged a slight. Sportswriter Vic Ziegel (then of the New York Post) wrote, "Today Mel Stottlemyre goes after his seventh victory and Gene Brabender goes after whatever the Gene Brabenders of the world go after." When the column was read in the clubhouse, Bender boomed, "Will someone point out that f***er to me?" "He must not have seen you in person, rooms," said catcher Jim Pagliaroni. [37] Gene and the Pilots then prevailed, 2-1."

Thanks for the story and link, Ken. Hope he pitches close to that in this league for me. But I ain't holding my breath.
