April Review & May Preview

Last month was the most prolific in FoC history with 33 posts over 30 days, beating May of 2010 which featured 31 posts in 31 days- and that month's total was admittedly padded by several on Tony's birthday. I made a decent amount of headway on the ongoing Friars By The Numbers project which will continue later today with the guys who have worn 1 for the Padres. I wrote it up a few weeks ago but it seemed like it made sense to hold it off until today. Other things to expect in the month to come are beards, more beards and then some additional beards to go along with those beards. If you're capable of growing anything even closely resembling a beard, you are expected to join in on the festivities for the next 31 days; otherwise any and everyone is not only free to but encouraged to blame you and you alone for any Padres losses that may occur during that time.

Calvin Schiraldi: A Man With A Beard

["Editor's" Note; July 1st, 8:06 AM Eastern/ 5:06 AM Pacific: I threw this together yesterday evening and set it to autopost at 11:11 PM Pacific... except it turns out I put 6/31 instead of 5/31. My bad!]
Calvin Schiraldi pitched for the Padres toward the beginning of my fandom but I have no real recollections of him. Sure, I'd see his name in the box score or get the occasional card but he never really appeared on my radar. Later, I'd go on to read about his exploits in the '86 World Series and to this day that's still pretty much the only time I ever see him referenced. But, that's all neither here nor there; all that matters is that it's still May and he's rockin' three degrees of bearditude.
