At 100, he's still throwing a lot of strikes 5/10/08

Will suspension improve Sexson's batting average?


Posted at 12:01 am by Doug Parry, Herald staff

How about those fightin' Mariners? Richie Sexson got a six-game suspension for starting a brawl in Thursday's game against Texas.

Actually, he got one game for fighting and five for looking ridiculous when he threw his helmet at the Rangers' pitcher.

Sexson did manage to barrel into the pitcher, leaving most Mariners fans pretty impressed. They had forgotten what it's like to see someone in an M's uniform hit anything very hard.

Speaking of hitting things, what a nice 100th birthday for bowler Fred Vogt of Edmonds. And it looks like he can still bowl a score as high as his age. There's at least one man running for president who can't even do that -- everyone saw Barack Obama's infamous 37. And no one's sure if John McCain can bowl his age, but we do know he'd have to string a few strikes together.

An Arkansas woman is close to realizing every mother's dream: having enough children to field two entire baseball teams. Child No. 18 is on the way to the Duggar family.

You may have seen the Duggars' household in a series on the Discovery Health channel. Or you may have seen it in your worst nightmares.
