His bat was built in Grand Rapids Michigan and was marketed as "The Boomstick"

God bless Jim Price.

I'm going to go ahead and put that squarely on the shoulders of an owner whose good deeds did not go unpunished. He wanted a winning team and probably forced DD's hands on a few deals. If DD can be blamed for anything, it would have to be his ability to piece together a bullpen. Maybe he's learned his lesson with the BoSox (not following them to know how their bullpen is) but the bullpen always seemed to be an afterthought during his tenure with the Tigers.

Remember the famous "miscommunication" with Ausmus? Price was very noticeably insubordinate to Ausmus (see the infamous ball handoff incident).

To me baseball is a radio sport. I love when a good pbp man paints a picture and the images flow through my mind. That's what Dickerson does. I don't think the casual fan feels the same way.

No but it is a common theme throughout that article that Rod was retained because of his skin color. I just connected the dots. YMMV.

Lynn all but admits what I have contended all along: Rod Allen was hired as a buffer to MLB's manager-minority-candidate policy because of the Phil Garner hiring. They did not interview any minorities prior to hiring Garner and Selig was on the warpath. Then later, Rod's employment, despite the poor quality and the tension in the booth, continued because they needed their token.

He's not amused. At all.

Nice.

I was curious about this man's story so I looked him up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Christian_(baseball) Leukemia at 28. That is terrible. Left behind a wife and two kids.

Norm MacDonald Has A Show. If you like Norm, you'll love this show. It's a wonderful mess.
