I've got a guy in my league who has labelled a player with a HR and a SB in one game Highway Head. He says there is nothing better than Highway Head, and there is nothing better in fantasy baseball than HR's and SB's in one game.

I don't agree.

Where did Slam and Legs come from anyway? For awhile I had it messed up and kept thinking of it as (S)Mash and Dash.

Slam and legs derives from the Middle English dialect, Idon'tknow-ium.

Ham and eggs are delicious for breakfast, slam and legs are delicious for fantasy.

Aha, that's the kind of explanation I was hoping for.

So, the other day, after reading Grey's round-up, I was thinking about the term "slam-and-legs" and I pondered: what if your guy actually hits a grand slam and steals a base or two --> that's literally a "slam and legs," but wouldn't we need a catchy, Razzball-ish term for literally hitting a slam and getting the SB?

I don't know, Grand Slam and Legs seems pretty apropos. Plus I got to say "apropos".

Plus, you get a double word score for the Denny's reference (or does that undermine the whole affair?)

I thought Denny's triple word scored from Baseball?
