Jimmy Piersall


On this date in 1963, Jimmy Piersall of the Mets runs around the bases backwards to celebrate his 100th career home run.

"I did it good too. I even shook hands with the coach at third base."

    If Lastings Milledge hits 100 homeruns, he can run backwards all he wants. At third base he could shake hands with the Easter Bunny.

    His elevator didn't go all the way up. Hollywood even made a movie about his life.
