Cool fact of the day

Brewers' newest call-up Tony Gwynn Jr. recorded his first major league hit today, a double in the 9th inning against San Francisco's Brian Wilson

The cool fact is that the hit came exactly 24 years after his dad's first major league hit. Gwynn Sr. hit is first major league hit on July 19, 1982 against Philadelphia.



Not that the late inning hit did any good, as Derrick Turnbow blew his fourth straight save and the Brewers lost 7-6 in San Fran, despite home runs from Carlos Lee, Gabe Gross and Bill Hall in the first three innings.

Oooooohhhhhh, Turnboooooow!
