— Some unusual baseball trivia: Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson was one of the best ever; he retired in 1975. Last pitch of Gibson’s career was hit for a grand slam by a journeyman OF for the Cubs, a guy named Pete LaCock, who only hit 27 career home runs.
What makes this more interesting is that Pete LaCock’s father was Peter Marshall, who hosted the great game show Hollywood Squares from 1966-81. If you’re an older person, you know that Hollywood Squares was a staple of weekday TV, one of the best-ever game shows.
— Colorado Rockies 1B TJ Rumfield hit a home run Tuesday night in Anaheim; it was a fly ball that bounced off RF Jo Adell’s glove, hit him in the head, then bounced over the fence.
— Iowa State basketball star Milan Momcilovic has transferred to Kentucky, because semi-pro basketball is now the thing, when it used to be college basketball.
Momcilovic scored 16.9 ppg for the Cyclones last year, shot 48.7% behind the arc, making 136 3-pointers. In his three seasons in Ames, Iowa State won 83 games and made two Sweet 16 appearances, so this figures to help Kentucky……a lot.
— NC State-Virginia were supposed to open their college football season with a game in Brazil in August, but now the game will be in Charlottesville. People who were organizing the event decided the game could not be played in Rio de Janeiro.
— RIP to Hall of Fame basketball coach Rick Adelman, who passed away this week at age 79. Adelman played seven years in the NBA, for five different teams, then he got coaching, which is where he really excelled.
Adelman coached for 23 years in the NBA; he was 1,042-749 in regular season games, 79-78 in playoff games. He won the Western Conference twice coaching Portland. His son David is the coach of the Denver Nuggets now.
Rick Adelman had an excellent career. RIP, sir
