Maybe you once wanted to hit an umpire. It's still wrong.

I actually have a Yorvit Torrealba story.

Actually, it's not so much a Torrealba story. After all, how many people have stories about journeyman semi-regular catchers?

This is more of a Vin Scully story, about the time Torrealba came up to bat while playing with the Rockies and Scully told the story of how the name Yorvit came to be. I don't remember all the details -- if memory serves, his parents had different ideas and so there was some kind of merger -- but what I remember is how smoothly Scully told the story, complete with imagining a little Yorvit asking his parents where his name came from, without missing a pitch.

That, and the way he said "Yor-vit Tor-re-al-ba." It was lyrical.

But even if my Yorvit Torrealba story isn't actually about him, he'll probably prefer it to this one.
