Honoring Jon Ratliff's Cup Of Coffee In The Bigs




Chances are you've never heard of Jon Ratliff.

I know I never heard of him. He pitched a grand total of one game in the big leagues for the 2000 Oakland A's.



That's one day more than I ever spent in the show.



And Don Marquez, Oakland A's superfan, friend of Sully Baseball and the author of the wonderful book Generation A's Fans, wrote a wonderful post on Athletics Nation today about Ratliffs one inning (and 12 pitches) in the bigs and where he is now.



For all of us who wanted the experience of being a big leaguer even for just one day, it's a fabulous read.

    Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
    a few months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have
    any methods to protect against hackers?

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My website has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd
