I think I just became a METS fan as well as Diamondbacks fan.

I don't like the cutesy title of this article. My initial impression, from the "takes swing" reference, was that this was another attempt by a liberal journalist to showcase a soldier critical of the War on Terror.

No, but his editor should have caught it.

Hey, give Lance Cpl. John E. Lawson Jr. a break. He's just trying to get noticed by the lame brain media so that when his enlistment is up he can at least get an interview for a "Reporter's Job."

Just watched the Mets final out in a 2-1 loss to the Expos. But seeing your post softens the loss.

Alright Packer Fans, help me out here. Didn't the Packers have a player who left the NFL to enlist? I don't remember his name, but I recall he led the team onto the field for the first game after 911. He sprinted out carrying a huge US flag.

Anyone?

You've got it a little backwards, Travis Williams was a wide receiver who graduated from the Naval Academy and played a little for the Packers after his military commitment was up.

The Cardinals Pat Tillman left the NFL to enlist in the Army.

The Cardinals did went Airborne Ranger and is/was assigned with the 175th Rangers. Think he's about due to either ETS or Re-Up.
