    • Who’s Your Daddy? … Episode 18 … Hoyt Wilhelm
    Welcome to  the 18th post in the Baseball Roundtable’s “Who’s Your Daddy?” series, where we take a look at Roundtable-selected lineups that performed exceptionally well against some of MLB’s greatest pitchers.

    No one would have been surprised if Astros’ RF Kyle Tucker was calling for oxygen after yesterday’s (September 10, 2023) 12-2 win over the Padres (in Houston).

    This day (August 22) in 1982, Cardinal’s backup catcher Glenn Brummer  produced an unexpected performance that still stands as a unique moment in Redbird lore. Let’s start this tale with a bit of  a bit of background.

    On Sunday (August 6). Reds’23-year-old righty Lyon Richardson made his MLB debut – starting against the Nationals in Cincinnati.  His performance, while not what he had hoped for, did attract the attention of baseball trivia buffs.
