How do you cross an armadillo with a porcupine and other problems that arise from naming proteins. By Caveman.

Upon emerging from your winter cave, you surely noticed that spring is here and the 2001 baseball season has begun. Last season was particularly exciting from the standpoint of individual achievement. Mike Piazza of the New York Mets was in pursuit of the record for most consecutive games (18) with an RBI (runs batted in). Most interesting was the fact that few fans and media were aware of the record holder, a littleknown player from the 1930s. Conversely, most fans knew that Joe Dimaggio holds the record for most consecutive games (56) with a hit.
