Farewell to a journeyman. Any numerologists in the house?
Chris Truby announced his retirement yesterday, ending a 15-year professional baseball career. ...
The Damien Memorial graduate had a .231 career batting average (189-for-819) in the majors with 42 doubles, nine triples, 23 home runs and 107 runs batted in.
Signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as a free agent in the offseason, Truby has been on and off the disabled list with the Indianapolis Indians of the International League and the Altoona Curve of the Eastern League. He appeared in just 13 games and was hitting .326 when he decided to call it a career. ...
Truby originally was signed as a nondrafted free agent after an outstanding performance in the Area Code games by the Astros on Aug. 25, 1992, just before he planned to enter Hawaii Pacific and play for the Sea Warriors.

No freakin' way.
####### classic.
I can't believe you guys are just becoming aware of that.
I haven't been a servant of the devil as long as you have.

\still got nothin'
Satan, Adam, Eve = the three present at the Fall of Man.
Truby hit 9 triples in his major-league career.
Thus:
Truby's beginning / three - Truby's MLB triples = 2025 / 3 - 9 = 666
I'm obviously getting old.
I wonder if he'd be amused or horrified.
Tom, I think you're the only who's authorized to contact the man. I do wish him the best - it was 15 more years than any of us achieved.
He did help beat the Mariners with his bat this day with the '02 Tigers, so I have no negative memories of him. And of course he was fortunate enough to escape ahead of 2003.
