Todd Williams?

[Guest attgig]

espn insider is saying mets are going after todd williams....

I guess the staff has that much faith in our righties

[metirish]

Williams sponsor on baseballreference says this about him.....

] The Todd is the type of guy that hits a .38 Special concert before going catfishing at 2am with a cooler full of Stroh's. The Todd is America. He eats at Hardee's.

its certainly a name that had little popularity, if any, before the late 50's.
as a last name it has a long history, it was the maiden name of Lincoln's loony wife.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Got me.

Mets with Todds in the Middle:

Michael Todd Bordick

I believe the NYPost mentioned it yesterday - something like: sources say Mets have asked Baltimore about ... - which is likely where espn picked it up from.
Isn't it great how "inside" that info is? Certainly worth the price if you ask me.

yeah... that's why i'm sharing it with a few other friends. 10 bucks a year....

[Frayed Knot]

Do they at least admit that they're swiping it from the Post or are they pretending that it's some kind of exclusive info they dug up on their own?
ESPN has ben known to take credit for everything in sports short of their invention.
