Here Comes Hurricane Season

TedTed
in Off-Topic
FYI: The general consensus among most forecasters is that the current season is forecast to be below-average, and it’s a forecast we agree with. Like any seasonal or long range forecast, though, predicting the strength and intensity of a hurricane season is an imperfect science. However, there are some key indicators that we as meteorologists are able to use to determine what are some of the most likely scenarios. One of the main indicators we look to is the variation of sea surface temperatures across the central Pacific Ocean from their historical average, more commonly referred to as the La Nina/El Nino cycle. These temperature trends have global impacts on weather patterns, and thus are crucial to any forecast.

    The Braves and Brewers could both use another "Hurricane"

    Bob Hazle
    Robert Sydney "Hurricane" Hazle was an American professional baseball player. Hazle was a member of the 1957 World Series champion Braves
    Bob Hazle's moment in the sun in the major leagues was brief, but he made the most of the opportunity.

    In 1956, the outfielder with Wichita was injured and was close to calling it quits. However, he decided to give baseball one more shot.
    He started out the 1957 season hitting just .220 for Wichita, but he suddenly caught fire and raised his batting average to .279.
    That's when the Milwaukee Braves, firmly entrenched in a pennant battle, lost outfielder Bill Bruton to a knee injury. At the time of the injury, Bruton was hitting .278 with 5 home runs, 30 RBI and 11 stolen bases.
    The injury opened the door for Hazle to join the Braves and he responded to the chance. He joined the starting lineup on Aug. 4, 1957 and helped the Braves go on a tear. Hazle hit .403 over the end of that season with 7 home runs and 27 RBIs.
    At one point, the front-running Braves found themselves with a 2.5 game lead over the Cardinals. They entered a three-game series with St. Louis that proved to be a knock-out punch. Hazle collected four hits in the opening game and hit .700 over the series. The Braves won all three games, stretching the lead to 5.5 games.

    Nicknamed "Hurricane" after the storm that had hit the South Carolina coast in 1954
