Zambrano does it again - another win, another homer- He's the first National Leaguer to hit homers in five of his own wins since Don Drysdale in 1965
- With a 16-6 record for a bad team, and weighing in at 255 pounds, he's a bona fide candidate for two major pitching awards: the Cy Young award, which is given to the best pitcher, and the Jumbo Brown award, which is given to the largest.
- Jumbo, a journeyman reliever who played most of his career in the 30s, was 6'4", 295, and was the heaviest man ever to play in the majors until the Orioles fielded a 322 pounder named Walter Young last year. However, it must be noted that Cecil Fielder is listed at 240. Cecil's son Prince is three inches shorter and admits to 265. I'm guessing that the old man was up to three bills before he finally retired.
