That name brings me back...Man, Kevin Fuckin' Maas. That name brings me back to my baseball card collecting days. He was supposed to be the next Mickey Mantle so when his rookie card came out they were selling for alot. keep in mind, alot, when you're 12 is like $10. <BR/><BR/>But anyways I remember finding a Kevin Maas Upper Deck Rookie - in Faggity USA Olympics uni - and thinking that was just about as good as it gets in life...and it pretty much held true. <BR/><BR/>But poor Kevin Maas pulled a Scott Ruffcorn and pooped his pants in the bigs. <BR/><BR/>I hope you draft you draft both Wood & Prior in the late rounds thinking you're getting a steal.

I...I remember the 1993 Indianapolis 500 very well. I went to a different catholic church than I usually did so that I could go to an earlier mass than usual. This allowed me to get home about 3 hours before the actual race began. Just the perfect amount of time to cool my nerves and read the fuck out of the Indy Star race preview. Then Danny Sullivan went on to finish dead last. 33rd. Even worse than my own Little 500 results years later.<BR/><BR/>Also... 1993 was the last year that Kevin Maas played for the Yankees as a member of the Major Leagues. You may remember that he hit .205 that year. I remember each one of those hits well.<BR/><BR/>Also II... I was 11. And I was really fucking cool. That year I was on the Klondike Red team. I played outfield and rode on the bench while Trout was an all-star. Imagine that.... talk about a reversal of athletic fortunes.<BR/><BR/>Trout may have had more tallies on the "Its getting hotta, bitch" board... but I'd take him to school now. <BR/><BR/>Which is funny... because he is still in school... and I'm working in the real world buying airline tickets. Fucking hoes. You know.

That season my dad and I went to a game and had awesome seats through his work. Which didn't matter since the game was in rain delay and it was a week night so everyone left. <BR/><BR/>But we waited it out even though we were down like 5-0 going into the delay. But once the game restarted the late inning heroics of one Craig Greybeck (previously mentioned) and his two HRs won the game. He was Craig Counsil before there was a Craig Counsil! He averaged about 5-6 HRs a year but brought the lumber for that rain delay game. I have no other memory of the game except Craig Greybeck's big balls. <BR/><BR/>Also, possible idea I'm tossing around for my blog entry (oh, I didn't forget) is a running diary of our fantasy draft. It will basically consist of me ripping all your picks and me patting myself on the back for mine. It will be the balls.<BR/><BR/>FinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077597.post-15850869462089917872007-03-16T15:42:00.000-04:002007-03-16T15:42:00.000-04:00Oh, come on, Gage, wax nostalgic about Chris Sabo....Oh, come on, Gage, wax nostalgic about Chris Sabo.

In '93 they had all these collector cups w/ all the stars on the team on em. I had Black Jack, Alex Fernandez, Frank, Carlton Fisk, and Robin Ventura. <BR/><BR/>Oh how I loved that team. I went to soxfest '94 and was way to lazy to wait 4 hrs to get guys like Craig Greyback's autograph but my parents got me a few guys autographs that they ran into at the bar. <BR/><BR/>Why am I telling you this pointless story you ask? Because Im bored at work and the memories of the '93 team are fond. But anyways I got Roberto Hernandez's (Hes still pitching?), Darrin Lewis, Darrin Jackson (I should rub it off the ball), and Mr. Ozzie fucking Guillen. <BR/><BR/>At the time it was a pretty sad excuse for a signed baseball but the Ozzie autograph has appreciated nicely. <BR/><BR/>FinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077597.post-89995438290383932252007-03-16T12:41:00.000-04:002007-03-16T12:41:00.000-04:00I do not like that picture of Alfonseca's stubby, ...I do not like that picture of Alfonseca's stubby, gnarled sixth finger.

Did people ever really say that? Probably not...).
