And Mike Crudale

From Wiki Gonzalez

"And Mike Crudale" is one of the oldest known Baseball Think Factory running gags, aptly used to terminate a lengthy paragraph or mind-numbing list of trivia. It dates from February 9, 2003, and here's how it started:

Former Primer poster The Score Bard, famous for his on-point baseball poetry, maintains the Random Diamond Notes page. The page generates randomized columns that are intellectually indistinguishable from a Peter Gammons "Diamond Notes" column.

After the Score Bard introduced the generator in a Primer thread, the first randomized note posted ended with the non-sequitur "And Mike Crudale."

It doesn't make sense. That's the point.

And Mike Crudale.
