Nobody—this side of John Buccigross, perhaps—unearths better sports tidbits than Christoper Kamka of Comcast SportsNet Chicago. He did it again on Tuesday.

Kinda reminds me of the age-old classic: Who is the only one to hit a ball over the center-field scoreboard at Wrigley Field?

No, not Kris Bryant. That was right field.

Give?

Golfer Sam Snead.
