I was just reminded of Brad Ziegler by a post at It Is About the Money, which is a Yankees blog but not obnoxiously so.

Anyway, Ziegler still hasn't ever given up a run in the major leagues. 29 games, 38 innings, zero runs. He broke a 100 year old record for scoreless innings to start a career 13 innings ago.

But you barely hear anything about him. I haven't seen him on the front page of ESPN at all. I know Oakland isn't New York or Boston, but if this guy played for the Yankees or Red Sox, he would be on SportsCenter every 34 seconds.

I wonder how many innings he has to pitch without giving up a run to get some attention? Maybe after the Olympics are over.

Edit to add: It was less than three hours from the time this post went up until his streak ended. I feel like I jinxed it. That sucks.
