it's a nice story and he handled himself well, but I don't see how this is anything close to deserving for Sprotsman of the Year

LOL. Also, Jack's post was awesome.

tdarko, I have to say this is a bizarre assemblage of SOY candidates. I know it's just an excuse to sell magazines anyway, but wow. (EDIT: the year that Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling won for the D'Bags it was legit.)

Also, what are the odds that he grooves that pitch to become part of history? I mean, it's almost certainly going to be the thing he's best known for, unless he somehow throws a perfect game in the Series or something. There is also some residual fame and no doubt some income in his future as a result too. He even said "I'm really excited...I'm part of history now."
