Throwback baseball call of the week...


The thowback baseball call of the week is Mike Gallego. Gallego made his major league debut on April 11, 1985 for the Oakland Athletics where he was the starting second baseman throughout their three year run of AL Championships. He did win a world series in 1989 with the A's when there was that huge earthquake. He also played for the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals where he ended his playing career. He was more known for his stellar defensive play (sticky) than swinging the stick. What most people don't know is that he played and graduated from UCLA. That's right folks he was a Bruin. You know he's got atleast 5 g's on on UCLA in the tournament. In December of 2004 Gallego was named the 3rd base coach for the Colorado Rockies where he now resides with his wife and three children.

WASTED!

Jerramy Stevens is a joke. How many mistakes is this guy going to make before he learns that he isn't above the law. He got arrested in Arizona for DUI charges. He told police he had only four 0r five margaritas. Try four or five Long Island Ice Tea's. You judge with the jail photo.

Just a Classic Name For Degens

With the help of my roommate Dick, who were discussing classic names in the 1980's and 1990's for baseball. He won the game when the best I could come up with was Terry Steinbach on the Twins not with his better days of the Athletics and he threw the name Candy Maldonado at me. I screamed with a call like that.
Maldonado from Puerto Rico was best know for hitting homers with a low batting average. Just think of a Puerto Rican Dave Kingman. The Candy Man played 15 seasons for the Dodgers, Giants, Indians, Brewers, Blue Jays (twice), Cubs, and finished with the Rangers. He made it to the postseason eight times and even won a World Series with the Jays in 1992. San Francisco fans aren't to happy with him (no it isn't because he didn't lick lolly pops) but rather because he dropped a can of corn in the 1987 National League Championship Series versus the Cardinals. The ex-Kansas City Royals Manager Tony Pena 2nd inning pop should have been a easy catch for Maldonado but instead he dropped it and it turned into a triple. Pena later scored on a sacrifice fly, which turned out to be the only run of the game. He is now a broadcaster for ESPN Deport es baseball games.
