Cubs Trivia:

Who was the first Cubs player to play the designated hitter position?

[fromthemitten]

Glenallen Hill! I'm no Spriggs but I'm old enough to remember interleague.

Edit: I goofed. Hill did play for the Cubs and he was the first NL player to ever be a DH in interleague play... but it was with the Giants the year before he came back to the Cubs. Also his offensive numbers were REALLY good for a guy who wasn't a fulltime player.

oh wait Mitchell Report lol

Dave Clark. The year must have been 1997.

That's what I thought, internet tough-guy... why don't you just go back to slandering the not-quite-so-evil Cardinals!!!

1-4 with a single.

if it's not Clark I'm gonna go with Sandberg though I'm pretty sure if that was true I would know that already.

1-4, single, 2 K's, 19 pitches.

Sandberg went 3-5 with a double. Sosa stole 2nd and 3rd in the 7th.

Discotheque is a pretty nasty drug if mixed wrong...

it's closely related to krokodil

I just heard about that drug last night...good god, the things people will do for a high.

From Wikipedia:

The street name in Russia for home-made desomorphine is "krokodil" (крокодил, crocodile), reportedly due to the scale-like appearance of skin of its users and the derivation from chlorocodide.

Since the home-made mix is routinely injected immediately with little or no further purification, "krokodil" has become notorious for producing severe tissue damage, phlebitis and gangrene, sometimes requiring limb amputation in long-term users. The amount of tissue damage is so high that addicts' life expectancies are said to be as low as two to three years, especially as they are often highly susceptible to infections and gangrene due to widespread HIV infection among injecting drug users in Russia.
