Memories of Bazooka

[Guest Edgy DC]

My adoptee. He got there faster than anybody expected, then almost cried when they sent him down.

Siddown Pujols. You too, Jeter.

[Valadius]

I met him at Willie Randolph's charity auction and had no clue who he was.

Baby faced Joe , had balls him.

[Guest themetfairy]

We called him our faux son, since he was born more than 9 months after D-Dad and I were married.

Goodbye Joe.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well-conceived. A bigger success than we had a right to expect.

Was in this SI cover picture but was lying on the floor and was edited out. (Geez, this was less than 2 years ago and as many as 4 of the 6 in the picture are gone.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

Sorry to see him go. He was one of the few in the pen who was more or less reliable.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I would have liked to retain Smith for the upcoming year, but sometimes you just have to let them go. He performed better than we should have expected at the time he was drafted.

I wish him the best of luck in Cleveland.
