Of course, the greatest first pitch so far this year was thrown by Vladimar Guerrero...

He tossed one in the dirt and broke Don Baylor's leg:

In Calvin's defense, ROC was checked sharply behind a fading Vicar around the 1/4 pole.
Then swung 8 wide and kept on pretty well.

Maybe Gowan will switch jockeys and run him in the Preakness.

Victor belongs in the hall. If he were a better turf rider he'd be a mortal lock. Still has 10-15 years of riding left.

FTFY

edit - I didn't realize Court broke his hand yesterday. Feel very bad for him for being pushed aside the way he was. Hope he has a swift recovery.

Just watched Ride on Curlin's trip...that was interesting to say the least. I could see using that horse in a couple weeks, hopefully with a different rider.

That Don Baylor - seems he is always getting hit by pitches.
Isn't he the all time leader in HBP?

EDIT: Baylor is 4th all time in HBP

Biggio is 2nd to some guy named Hughie Jennings, who was hit twice more than the Biggio (287 times)
