This is one of the coolest things I have ever read. Talking about a dream coming true. Man this would be awesome!

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.

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'.
