Damn, I had never heard of that story. Dude finally gets to the Majors, very first pitch he ever saw, hit in the head, basically a career ender, at least MLB career ender.

Tough luck.

Tonight is Chipper Jones Night. Really wish I could be there. First ballot HOF and the player I grew up watching. Braves will not ever feel the same for me, watching them without him standing at third base.

Case can be made for the greatest switch-hitter ever as well.

they used him out of the bullpen once when it was really terrible, but i think they had such a bad start to the 2H that they didn't follow through with the plan. I think with off days in between they would skip some of the other starters to keep him on normal rest, but i wonder if that hurt the rotation (hard to know)

Damn, thats terrible nick.

Dave, I am probably one of the bigger baseball fans in the NDL and even I didnt really pay attention until like 2 weeks ago because thats one of those things that never happens in a lifetime but was awesome to see him pull it out.

If the Sox are out of it, I rarely pay much more attention to the sport as I used to.

you must not watch ESPN very much? Not that that's a bad thing at all

Speaking of Miami baseball, is Jeffrey Loria a complete moron?

Never really. Only for games when it actually works on my DirecTV.
