Re: 2016 Spring Training Thread
Also Rivera's got bad as well, they all do in my book. Like I saw in the article on barstool sports about it, Feitelberg hit the nail on the head. This stuff is way to overdone with the gifts and stuff. Like just have the commentators/analysts point out this is player x's last game in stadium y. And I also hate A-Rod a little more for the way he did it. Like at wait until after this season is over before saying you are going to retire after 2017.Comment

Re: 2016 Spring Training Thread
I'm just glad the A-Rod nightmare has an end date. Time to past the page on that. Yet the dude is 27 HR's behind Ruth and 68 behind Aaron. This can't end soon enough.OSHA Inspector for the NBA.Comment

Re: 2016 Spring Training Thread
Yeah, the farewell tours are getting pretty stupid. It's going to be mildly interesting in some respects for Ortiz and A-Rod though as they aren't universally loved as the other guys were. I could see some crowds sitting on their hands or outright booing.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: 2016 Spring Training Thread
Maybe the player wants a farewell tour by announcing early, but it's really on the teams for doing something for the player. The player can't throw their own farewell tour.Comment

Re: 2016 Spring Training Thread
All of these season long farewell tours are stupid IMO. Especially when the arch-rival team showers them with gifts... I don't get that. Back in the day, the would have showered them with profanity and broken glass, not an Escalade. Even if it was one of the guys from one of my favorite teams I'd say the same thing.Comment

Re: 2016 Spring Training Thread
I don't mind it. If the player is great enough and they decide they want the hoopla, eh. It could be a little more toned down but eh, that's what brings in the business.Comment

Re: 2016 Spring Training Thread
Weird, you'd think dudes were stopping the game and giving them gifts in the middle of the 6th inning or something. I can't imagine why people would dislike guys getting gifts before the game, but to each his own I guess. I'll tell you what, the Yankees can give Ortiz whatever they want but he's not getting any standing O in Yankee Stadium, a part of me would die inside.Originally posted by G PericoIf I ain't got it, then I gotta take it

The Mets gave Chipper something so all things are possible.
