but craig wilson ISN'T an allstar. griffey is.

i go mainly by numbers, but if it's a choice between 2 players and one is a known all star, the other isnt, i'll go with the allstar. plus griffey was my god in the 90's. do you realize what he would've done? such a shame he got hurt all the time.

i voted:

AL

1b- mike sweeney (thomas is a dh...)
2b- alfonso soriano
3b- hank blalock (hey, he's having a good year and he won the all star game last year)
ss- miguel tejada (i would vote for young, but tejada is more all-star material)
c- ivan rodriguez (is there anyone else?)
of- vladimir guerrero (he's not my favorite player for nothing)
of- manny ramirez
of- ichiro suzuki (i was debating between him and matsui, but i dig ichiro's style so much more)

NL

1b- albert pujols (only ted williams and joe dimaggio have done what he's done in his first three years)
2b- mark loretta (fuck the astros)
3b- scott rolen
ss- barry larkin (nl ss' suck this year. normally it would be, hands down, bernie mac [edgar renteria - my favorite SS in mlb], but he's not having a great year. larkin is doing pretty damn good and this is his final year)
c- mike piazza (gotta rep the team, and glavine can't be the only one)
of- barry bonds (...)
of- miguel cabrera (see albert pujols, cause we'll be saying the same thing about him in 4 years)
of- ken griffey jr (he's finally healthy again... watch out nl central)

Happy ending to ugly ballpark story

02:32 PM CDT on Monday, June 14, 2004


By KEVIN LONNQUIST / The Dallas Morning News



ARLINGTON – Four-year-old Nick O'Brien proved why baseball will always be a kid's game.

The Plano resident, who was watching his first major league game with his parents, Edie and Jeff, became the sympathetic figure of fans when he was pushed aside in the scramble for a foul ball at Ameriquest Field in Arlington on Sunday.

But the ugliness had a happy ending. Nick went home with two big league bats and four baseballs. Two of the items came personally from St. Louis outfielder Reggie Sanders.

"I felt in my heart I should do something," Sanders said. "You gotta remember, it's all about the kids. As a player, we're able to reach out more."

In the bottom of the third inning of St. Louis' 13-2 victory, an unidentified fan crushed Nick on a foul ball hit by Gary Matthews Jr. in a section near the St. Louis dugout.

Witnesses said the stockily built fan, who appeared to be in his 30s, jumped over his row into O'Brien's. He then pinned Nick against the seats with his legs and grabbed the ball.

Mom, dad and other fans weren't happy. Edie scolded the fan. Nick didn't appear to be hurt but was shaken up.

"I couldn't believe someone would do something like that to a 4-year-old boy," Edie said. "He wasn't friendly."

It didn't take long for fans to respond. Mike Hall of Fort Worth, about 10 rows behind the incident, stood up and shouted, "Give him the ball!" The chant mushroomed to nearby sections. Even Rangers announcer Tom Grieve voiced his disapproval on TV. But the fan refused and was booed.

Eventually, the distraction reached the Texas and St. Louis dugouts. Sanders, who saw what happened on TV, went to the section and called Nick and Edie down to the rail to give them a bat and ball. The Rangers also gave Nick a bat from outfielder Kevin Mench. By the next inning, Nick had three more baseballs.

Asked on television what he thought about the whole thing, Nick said, "Cool."

The offending fan and his female companion left the game after the fourth inning.

"He's had a rough time," Edie said of Nick. "I think he thinks this is what is supposed to happen at every game."

what the eff is up with people?
