2 NHL rookies- Teemu Selanne in 1992-93 and Washington's Alexander Ovechkin this season- to have at least 50 goals and 50 assists.

27 Years since the Blues last failed to make the Stanley Cup playoffs; their 25-year postseason streak, which has snapped this year, was the longest active run in the four major U.S. pro leagues.

3 Pitches it took Oakland's Eric Chavez, Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley to hit consecutive homers against the Rangers last Saturday- the frist time since the Cubs in 2001 that a team homered on three straight pitches.

$23.9 million Operating profit of the Georgia athletic department, the largest of any public college program in 2005.
