Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball.

Bad Joke of the Day

Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Brown are patiently waiting outside the delivery room in the hospital for the good news of the birth of their first child. A chaplain is also waiting nearby, when a nurse comes out and calls for Mr. Smith.
"Mr. Smith... congratulations, you have twins!"
The delighted Mr. Smith replies, "That's great! Hey, what a coincidence: I work for the Minnesota Twins."
Soon another nurse comes out with an announcement for Mr. Jones.
"Mr. Jones... congratulations on the birth of your first three children: you have triplets!"
The delighted Mr. Jones replies, "Wow, that's kind of amazing! The last guy worked for the Twins and had twins. I had triplets, and I work for Triple A."
Just then Mr. Brown turns ghostly white and makes a running leap for the door. Worried, the chaplain stops him first.
"Son... why are you leaving like this while your wife is in having your child?"
"Because! The first man works for the Twins and had twins, and the second man works for Triple A and had triplets," Mr. Brown replies. "I work for 7-Eleven."
