Paul O'Neill on Seinfeld

Just now during the Yankees broadcast Paul O'Neill mentioned the scene he played on Seinfeld, and that he had a game later that night.  Michael Kay asked who the pitcher was and what he did, and O'Neill said it was Chuck Finley, whom he never hit well.  Looking at the box scores of the games Finley pitched against the Yankees in 1995, the year the episode aired, it turns out that O'Neill not only didn't hit two home runs, but he didn't get a single hit in any game Finley pitched.

Finley of course later became famous for getting his ass beat by the hot chick from the Whitesnake video.

As Finley took the mound for an April 2002 game against the Chicago White Sox at then-Comiskey Park II, the stadium's musical director, Joe Stephen, took a subtle dig at Finley's messy divorce, and played "Here I Go Again" by the band Whitesnake, referencing Kitaen's appearance in that band's videos. Stephen was later fired and the White Sox apologized.
