During last night's game against the Angels, Aubrey Huff became the first Oriole to hit for the cycle since Cal Ripken did it in 1984, and the first guy named "Aubrey" to do anything even remotely spectacular in the history of baseball.
Sure, it was a great moment for Huff and the Orioles. But, according to teammate Kevin Millar, it was also a great moment for fat dudes.
Huff tripled in the second inning, doubled in the fourth, and homered in the fifth to give the Os a 7-5 lead. When he stepped to the plate in the seventh, Millar had some inspirational words for him, according to the Baltimore Sun.
"[MIllar] said, 'You've got to go get that single for all the fat guys out there,'" Huff said. "It was really a sigh of relief to see it drop. I know Gary Matthews is a great center fielder and I saw him closing on it."
So was his team able to capitalize on all this magic? Dude, this is the 2007 Baltimore Orioles! The bullpen coughed up the lead in the eighth, and the game in the ninth.
