Keith Hernandez is Keith Hernandez and we're not.

I'd like to hear them talk about hitting - how the approach has changed from "make contact" when Keith played to today's "I don't care how much he strikes out as long as he hits home runs" approach.

Not sure that the networks consider Keith to be disciplined enough for booth work.
30 minutes where he'll be -- what, 1/4 to 1/3 of the talking time? -- is much less risky than having him on for 3-1/2 hours as the main wingman for the p-b-p guy.

And of course the most important item for Keith-world: How does this affect his tax bracket?
Living in Florida gets him out of paying state income tax but only if he lives there at least 1/2 the year which normally leads him to bolt Sag Harbor as soon as the season ends.
Will another (two?) weeks away from home on account of this gig tilt the balance and leave him coming up short on the FLA residency thing?

Keef's mouf creating a little bit of overnight controversy.

Still beats Pete Rose, of course.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Of course, he is from San Francisco.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Is that Big Papi? At first look I thought it was an ex-football guy but
that wouldn't make any sense.

[metirish]

I thought it was quite funny.

[Ceetar]

Keith has a Twitter but it only has 10 spam tweets from 2012.

his Instagram is private though.



he's also got an unplayed account on World of Warships

Man, I guess I'm REALLY not.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Me neither. If I were Keith Hernandez, I wouldn't go anywhere near that asshole's New Year's Eve party.

[bmfc1]

Keith has a pink cell phone case?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe he just did that to antagonize Mike Pence.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Keith, Keith, Keith......you're really testing my limits here.

That would be pure Keith being Keith.
But, like Lefty Specialist, I am disappointed.

I was trying to justify this in my mind. Like it's just a NYE party, and maybe it's close to his house, etc. Then I saw smiling Mnuchin entering the party and gave up.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, Keith is just a wealthy guy with swell tastes who wanted to join a swell club with a great course, and it just happens that ... and I just feel ickier and ickier trying to rationalize this.

I mean I get that this club was started when Trump was merely a preposterous TV thing and not an existential global threat, but that's what he is and he should be shunned at all opportunities. And anything with his brand as well. By any and all even remotely decent people.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, it's just awful. I have great memories of Keith on the baseball field, and he's often entertaining in the broadcast booth, but he's always struck me as a pseudo-intellectual with the potential to be a jerk. Remember how he reacted to that woman in the Padres dugout? And I was never, ever, convinced that he was any kind of an expert on the Civil War.

[Edgy MD]

He touches on his Civil War interest in his Sports Illustrated interview. He's probably not what I'd call an expert, but he's certainly dived deeper than I have.

Then he gets all gender-y.

OE: Then there's this.

SI: What did you think of the city before you lived here? KH: We stayed at the old New York Sheraton, right off the park. It was always a rest town for me. I just went to the hotel bar. I went out in New York City twice when I was a Cardinal. I mean, the hotel bar was fine. They had a lot of airlines, European airlines that were staying there, so there was no need to go wandering around.

Subtext: There were plenty of stewardesses to hit on right downstairs. And that's the whole point of being a ballplayer. So why leave the hotel?

Does that even qualify as subtext? I think that's just, like, text.

[Guest cooby]

That is entirely the reason some gals become stewardesses. And no bull crap defending women please.

Cos I clicked on the link and got a loud lady talking about Pete rose Subtext: There were plenty of stewardesses to hit on right downstairs. And that's the whole point of being a ballplayer.

[Edgy MD]

The interview is in text, but there's probably going to be a video window in the margin reporting on something or another.

[Guest cooby]

Yeah I couldn't get it to stop. I'll have to look at it on laptop

[G-Fafif]

Keith's been Keith forever. I long ago opted to take the Keith with the Keith and ignore the Keith of the Keith that wasn't the Keith I relished.

If events had gone (much) differently two years ago, his new year's plans might have taken him elsewhere.

His politics lean conservative. He likes Carly Fiorina. “She is smart,” he says. “I think she can play with the boys. Margaret Thatcheresque.”

I'm just here to say that Keith Hernandez is making Twitter "a thing to look at" for me.

what a great photo. I mean I know he'd be worse than Adrian Gonzalez, but, like, how much? And we all know he's better than Jay Bruce, cause everyone is.
