No idea, I ask them same things you are. Like I said, just a slow sport's news day is my guess. Plus the appeal of "born again Christian" falls off the horse story.


No idea.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

Is he outspoken about his religion? I've never really noticed.

Oh yes, apparently so. The media keeps playing footage of him speaking to big church somewhere against a baseball field back drop where he apparently confesses his sins and ask for forgiveness.


News to me, I just vaguely remember the picks off him and those chicks at the bar a couple of years back. After that I never paid attention to what happened.

Isn't this the guy who threw a ball into the stands which caused a firefighter to reach out and plummet to his death in front of his son last year?

Yes, but he can not be blamed for the utter stupidity of that fan!

And isn't this also the guy who claims that, due to his blue eyes, he plays worse in day games than in night games?

Ummmm, I have no idea on that one. But now I am mildly disturbed by this conversation since you seem very interested in his "blue" eyes. I would have never known he has blue eyes until now. Creepy.

I saw a stat on ESPN last year they had his stats during day games and his stats during night games. Then they asked MLB scouts if its true that blue eyed people play worse during the day, and they said yes.

Having blue eyes, it's a bitch to see on a sunny day. But if you're making millions like him, you can afford some pretty good sunglasses.

Because he used to be a cocaine and crack junkie and they are told to not do any sort of drugs after becoming clean.


That, and it is something to report about.
