The Joys of the Game

quote:

Brian Wilson from New Hampshire

Is the real deal for sure TR.
He has seemed to settle into that closer role real well.

I want to give a shout out for Vinnie Mazzaro from New Jersey.
Made his rookie debut for the Oakland Athletics.
This young man has a great family and I know they were just busting at the seems with pride for Vin.
I had the pleasure of hosting Vin for almost a full minor league season. You could not ask for a nicer young man.
Oh ya did I tell you he can pitch.

TR,
Wilson is a beast, as a Giants, fan it's been fun to watch him step into the roll as a closer. Today's game was great for the East Bay area with Randy Johnson growing up in Livermore and now playing with the Giants.
Only one thing about Wilson, I wish he could get some more 1,2,3 shut down innings, its like he likes to load the bases and than blow out the last hitter. I am getting to old and gray for that.
Congrats to Randy and Brian.

EH,

That was a great article on Vinnie M., a fun read. And Yes!, this Twins fan thanks him for shutting down the White Sox.

P.S. I forgot, what does "EH" stand for?

Well if you Ask Acadamydad he would say it meant ( Extra HardHeaded ).

But the original meaning was ( The Extra Hitter ).

Not only is EH the extra hitter, but he knows the secret ingredients of this...



Remember EH...even if they try to shove a slim, hard, and overcooked fry under your fingernail you must never reveal the secret!

Great story, TR. What's better than hearing of a HSBBwebber's connection to a future hall-of-fame pitcher? I'd be thrilled to have a tale like that to tell!
