Somewhere off the coast of Maine there's a lighthouse with a door leading to a parallel universe where Mike Hessman had a nice, solid big league career with some dramatic moments off the bench.

As of April 12, Hessman was sitting at 391, which is 12 less than the all time record. The standard was set by Ollie Carnegie, from Buffalo (my hometown). He played from 1931 to 1942.
