    You got it. The World's LONGEST Oktoberfest in our little faux Bavarian village. And yes, we go to Helen back, except right now it's Ground Zero for tourists not obeying logic when it comes to COVID.

    (Not to be confused with Hell, Michigan.)

    Today in baseball history, Carl Hubbell struck out five Hall of Famers in a row in the All Star Game. Name the five?

    bonus question: name the second pitcher to strike out five in a row in an all star game. Hint he is not a HOFer, but he did strike out one in his streak of five .

    Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons. I have the fifth one on the tip of my tongue.

    Fernando Valenzuela was the other to strike out five in a row in the Midsummer Classic. I think it was either '84 or '85.

    Correct. He did five in 86, but in 84 he struck out three Hall of Famers in a row.

    In the pre-steroid live-ball era (1920-90), only two players had 96 or more extra-base hits in one season at least four times. Who are they?

    Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols did it once. Mike Trout never has.

    Who was the last player to hit a grand slam off of Sandy Koufax?
