    Re: know any ballplayers?

    I know a guy who just recently got drafted by the Devil Rays. He's a starting pitching, and he just got a $700,000 signing bonus or something. I'm pretty sure he is in Triple A right now.

        I listened to a game on the radio when your uncle throw a no hitter against the giants, I think it was in '83?

        I wouldn't say that I know him, but I partied with Denny Neagle one night and ended up crashing on his couch (at least the place he was staying at in spring training). He was a helluva cool guy, let me try on his World Series ring and everything.
        Oh, and damn his wife is SUPER HOT

            My dad was friends with several of the Latin Cardinals in the 80's. Joaquin Andujar was going to be my godfather, but that didn't work out, so my middle name is Joaquin. I have never met him, but I did talk on the phone with him last October.

                that's funny, Mike Krukow (now one of the Giants announcers) mentions on the radio at least twice a year how much he hated Andujar, but never tells why. I wonder what happened?

                    Hey flawless...you will never beleive this but I play baseball at the same high school Konerko did. I dont know how close your are or whatever to him but his #9 is retired on our field and he was a catcher at the time in high school. We won state this year too and are currently #18 in the nation in the USATODAY national high school baseball poll. But tonight we are invited to the game to go on the field at Bank One Ballpark to be "commemorated" for winning state. It just so happens we are playing the Sox and Konerko is in town so that will be a cool reception. It also helps that our starting short stop is first base coach (of the dbacks) robin younts nephew, and our starting first baseman is glenn sherlocks son who is the dbacks' bench coach. But it will be fun tonight.

                        Josh Hamilton, #1 overall draft pick by the Rays a few years ago..

                        He went to school in NC and played against my high school, and occasionally comes and gets a little practice in with us (since he's been given the rest of the minor league year off due to 'family problems)

                        The guy is beasty..

                                I went to school w/Carlos Pena, we used to battle on the original Playstation, TP 97.
                                I went to high school for a couple years with Earl Snyder, got a cup of coffee in Cleveland and now is in the Sox organIzation.
                                I kept stats for the our HS team, and he hit the farthest ball I've ever seen in the state title game.
