Actually, since I was eight at the time, there’s a good chance it was probably a couple of chocolate covered donuts…I was such a bad eater as a kid!

“Do you also remember what I had for breakfast on the morning of September 6, 1971?”

Egg whites, toasted multi-grain bread (no butter), a glass of orange juice, and a cup of tea.

Every breath you take, every move you make…:)

~~I remember you detested him because he had tatoos.~~

Basura – first of all, the way you TRY to keep track of my every word and move concerns me. Do you also remember what I had for breakfast on the morning of September 6, 1971? Com’on, that must be important, too, no? After all, it was something that I once did/decided/said a long time ago.

Secondly, you don’t have your facts straight. I’m guessing that you’re referring to an old thread at the NDF…old as in FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO…

this one:

Show me where I said that I “detested him” in there?

In fact, what I wrote back then, in that thread, about Josh was:

“He still has youth on his side. He could still have a Bill Robinson type career.”

and

[On his former drug use] “And if he plays like Vlad Guerrero someday, no one will care……….”

and

“I hope he gets another chance. I think he deserves it. Tons of talent too. He could be an all-world player.”

Does that sound like “detest”?

Rich, really, can you go stalk someone else for a while? I don’t need all the attention from you. And, it’s even more annoying when you can’t get your facts straight too.

Cynical much?

I’d say “stupid much?”

Does the guy look like Bonds or Canseco or McGuire or Sosa?

How do you juice a bat?

And the evidence of juiced balls went away with the decline in home run rates.

In my day, we didn’t have maple bats that felt good in your hands. We swung steel bars that tore the skin off your hands. And we LIKED it!

Earlier in the day I said I don’t get into the HR Derby but coming home and watching Hamilton put on that kind of display was a lot of fun. Granted, it would be hard to do that in game conditions but it was still neat to see balls hit in places that I’ve never seen before.

The kid wasted a lot of his youth polluting his body and trying to kill himself. As a result, it’s unlikely that he’ll have the longevity required to climb the ladder of great players. But, for one night, it must’ve been amazing for him to get his name chanted by the fans at Yankee Stadium. I hope that memory sustains him for life and reminds him that staying clean can lead to more great memories. Had he died, he’d never have had the chance to live for last night’s fun.

That ball will be worth a lot of money one day.

Just a tremendous display of hitting…the boy needs to be a Yankee.

I remember you detested him because he had tatoos.

i bet you the george in hank liked seeing hamilton do his job tonight…its a shame the yanks don’t have enough to trade for this guy (what could it take? 2 jobas?)
