Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens has four children whose names all begin with K. He is usually asked why he used the letter "K", which he explains stands for strikeout. Once though, he was asked why he had so many children. Clemens was startled by the question and blurted out "Well, I just like fucking."

Baseball player Mickey Mantle once bet a teammate that he could hit 5 out of 10 batting practice pitches while blindfolded, if the baseballs used had been soaked in whiskey for 24 hours. He actually hit 7 out of 10, including one for a homerun.
