“Crooked number”. Absolutely love it Joe. Better than “flash in the pan”. Keep it going Bruins.

Crooked numbers are better than breadsticks and waaay better than bagels.

In baseball it means scoring more than one run an inning. A scoring outburst. It’s a term I’ve heard many years but don’t know where it originated from! Surprised Joe used it. He’s not a geezer like me!

A breadstick is one run in an inning. A bagel is zero. Everything else is a crooked number.
