My Kansas-native buddy and I drove up to Baltimore last night to see Greinke and the Royals.  Not a bad game for two basement dwellers, even with the rain delay and Greinke not having his sublime stuff.  What I didn't realize until reading about it in a Baltimore sun recap this morning was that we saw (without recognizing what we were witnessing) something even more rare than a perfect game or a player hitting two grand slams in one game -- one team, the Royals, didn't collect a single assist!  I had no idea about the 27 unassisted outs until reading about it in a Baltimore Sun recap.  In hindsight it seems correct, as the only infiled grounder I can recall off an Oriole bat Butler took himself rather than tossing to Greinke.  Strange this has only happened 6 times in 100+ years of baseball.

Historic, if not glamorous
