John Rocker is my hero. He had the guts to speak the truth even if it was un-PC

Sorry, Rocker is an idiot. And it isn't because of the things he said. And he sucked as a pitcher.

Don't know anything about the man other than he played baseball and spoke the truth (at least on that occasion). Don't care if he played well or who he played for for that matter.

Rocker was great when he could focus, but he had this way of creating distractions. When he first came to Cleveland he was lights-out, and extremely popular with Indians fans (remember that he dissed New York, which is kind of like doing so in Boston).

Unfortunately, he did some dumb things which led to further distractions, and he lost his effectiveness.

A friend of mine on another forum goes by the nickname "Spaz"
