Indians' outfielder Travis Buck wears number 28. So, on the back of his uniform shirt, the fan reads BUCK 28.
You don't want to be hitting a buck twenty-eight in the major leagues, or even in A ball. He's actually hitting .267 in 14 games this season, and back in The Show, replacing Travis Hafner who has gone on the DL.
All Buck 28 did today was hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to give the Tribe a 2-1 lead over the Reds. A lead they, of course, held onto for their 28th win, most in baseball on this doomsday May 21. If the world does end in a couple hours, they will be the 2011 Central Division champs.
Everyone is getting in on the fun in Cleveland. Like the 68 Tigers. Dick Tracewski, who was hitting a buck-something at the time, won a game in extra innings with a walkoff hit. When stuff like that happens, you know it's a special season.
