Screw him.  He and Garth Brooks have been hanging around ballparks for the last 15 years hoping to catch some man love from a real player.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

And it worked. I think it is bad ass. If I was able to have the time and  money to hang around a ball club like that I would. And now he is getting to do what he has dreamed of doing. I think it's great.

My grandfather always said, 'If you hang around the store long enough, it'll get you something.' That's the way I look at it."
He forgot to add "if you are rich and/or mildly popular" somewhere in there...

Somewhere else he was quoted as saying that he hoped they didn't drug test him, because he would test positive for Maalox.

Quote
When asked what position he would end up playing, at first he quipped and said, "Designated Hebrew,"

Gold, Jerry...Gold.

I'm impressed he made contact. I doubt many of us could do that against a major league pitcher. Although it could have been blind luck.

Especially at 59 years old. Not too bad for an old fart.

Stepping in front of the plate doesn't count.  Although.. it WOULD get you on base.   :vn:

Um, yeah...I'm going to have to go ahead and call bullshit on that one. 

Unless by 'getting ass', you mean 'playing World of Warcraft'.
