Lenny Haris last year on June 3(my B-Day) was told by a fan he was going to hit his first Home Run of the year. he had a polite exchange with her, and whata know he went deep. he stopped at the stands to shake hands with her and sought her out after the ball game and gave her an autographed ball.

Something not to tell his grandkids: in Ron Wrights major league debut last year on april 13 he struck out, bounced into a double play and hit into a triple play. 5 days later he banished bak to the minors and never resurfaced again.

who would turn this deal down?: jim thome turned a deal from the indians that consisted of this:
1.$65.25 million five years
2. an additional 10 year $2.5 million "personal services" contract
3.four months off a year
4.a street named after you
5.all the profits generated by an instuctional vidieo with your name on it
6.two youth baseball fields built per and named after you
jim thome turned a deal from the indians

Hmm... didn't know the part about the street being named after Thome. Would that influence your decision?

it would for me....that would essentially enshrine you into the cleveland hall of fame and keep you forever remembered....we have mark mcgwire way in stl, i think its pretty sweet.
