I’m pulling for this kid. One of the bright young stars of the game. Hits the most awesome, jaw-dropp. . . well, let me rephrase that. . . the most awesome, eye-popping home runs in baseball.
I go to about 10 games a year and obviously enjoy watching him play. He's a very large man. One night he hit a ball that never got above head high and hit the wall on one bounce. It seemed to defy physics.
I hope he'll bounce back. It's ironic that the Fish were floating rumors of signing him to a franchise contract last week. I think they'll have him for 2 more years and then he'll go back to CA where he wants to be.
