Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Happy birthday to Dr Seuss......

Today would've been Dr Seuss' 112th birthday; with that in mind, I'm adding one of his quotes at end of each note today.

13) Clippers' owner Steve Ballmer is a 59-year old, overweight bald man. Druing a timeout Monday night, Mr Ballmer dunked, using a trampoline. Thanks to him, I will never wonder what it would look like if I dunked using a trampoline, seeing as I am a 56-year old, overweight bald man. If you're wondering, it wasn't pretty.

Dr Seuss: "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."

12) Golden State Warriors have now had 159 consecutive home sellouts.

Dr Seuss: "A person's a person, no matter how small."

11) Bernie Sanders raised $6M on Monday alone; he raised over $42M in month of February. He is very good at raising money.

Dr Seuss: "Oh the things you can find, if you don't stand behind."

10) Aroldis Chapman got suspended 30 games for violating the domestic violence policy; based on his $11,325,000 salary, looks like he is being docked a total of just about $2,097,222.22.

Dr Seuss: "Today I shall behave, as if today is the day I will be remembered."

9) Sam Bradford gets $36M for two years from the Eagles; good luck there. He has a 25-37-1 career W-L record, with zero playoff appearances in six years.

Dr Seuss: "From there to here and here to there, funny things are everywhere."

8) Tampa Bay Rays are playing the Cuban National team in Havana March 22, which is really a breakthrough in international relations.

Dr Seuss: "You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut."

7) City of San Francisco raised the smoking age to 21 this week. I personally think smoking should be illegal, since it helps to kill people, but nobody asked me.

Dr Seuss: "Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."

6) Spring training logistics must be interesting; so many players have to be given a chance to show themselves; its not like the egular season, when the best guys play the most. Cleveland has 22 pitchers in its big league camp; coaches ahve to script who gets how many innings and when. Takes a lot of planning.

Dr Seuss: "Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one."

5) Michigan loses its star player Caris LeVert for the season; he had only played one game since New Year's, but now it is offical that his college career is over.

Dr Seuss: "Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened."

4) Dillon Avare is a walk-on basketball player at Louisville who will graduate from Louisville in three years, then transfer and play at Eastern Kentucky on scholarship. Why is he at Louisville? His dad is Rick Pitino's business manager. Why is he going to EKU? EKU's coach Dan McHale used to be a manager for Rick Pitino at Kentucky.

Dr Seuss: "You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose."

3) Colorado Rockies are raising fences in right-center field 8 feet and down the left field line 5 feet. They might raise all the fences for the 2017 season.

Dr Seuss: "From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere."

2) Kansas City Royals rewarded catcher Salvador Perez for his leadership and great play with a 5-year, $52.5M contract extension. Much deserved.

Dr Seuss: "Unlike someone like you cares a whole awful lot. Nothing is going to get better. Its not."

1) I like to watch the credits at the end of movies; not sure why. Was watching one of my favorite movies Leap of Faith the other night and noticed this in the credits:

Cons and Frauds Consultant-- Ricky Jay

Leap of Faith is about a travelling preacher who scams people into giving him money by making them think he can heal their illnesses, or fix their problems. Not sure if the credit is a joke or if they really did have a fraud consultant, but it made me laugh.

Dr Seuss: "Step with care and great tact. And remember that life is a great balancing act."
