Oh, you just can NOT make this up.

"Of all the game's documented, rather than apocryphal, self-inflicted injuries, the prize may go to Clarence 'Climax' Blethen. A 30-year-old Red Sox rookie, Blethen thought that he looked older and meaner if he took out his false teeth when he pitched and kept them in his hip pocket. Yes, he forgot to put them back in his mouth. So, on Sept. 21, 1923, while sliding into second base to break up a double play, Climax Blethen bit himself in the butt."

Not the best of days.

Caught a virus from my folks. Wiped me out at the campaign office - had to bail part way through a job because my brain had stopped processing needed information - and it's left me with a general-purpose crappy feeling all over.

Plus I hear on the TV that the Yankees are getting shellacked.

Not the best of days.
