He Dropped the Ball #2

[Fred]

This episode was recorded at the end of last week. The turnover time will be much quicker once we are live on iTunes.com.

1. Doug Dascenzo was a former Cub and colossal failure as a baseball player and autograph signer. Lifetime Stats:

2. Pat Keiner was his #1 fan as a youth roaming the South Side of Chicago. They finally met at the Cub convention a few years ago. Keiner was frozen in this fashion for an hour after Doug's rebuff. Just imagine a pack of cards in one hand and a pen in the other:

3. Was Griffey a first ballot hall of famer and better than Frank and Bonds?

4. Galaragga and Joyce Non-Perfect game Talk.

5. Would you rather have Ozzie or Lou manage your team for one season?

I have to admit, I really enjoy listening to you when you don't bash my favorite Bull. Great story. Tell your friend that I'm going to burn my Doug D. 1992 Topps card tonight in his honor.

Is Griffey a first-ballot HOF? Does that question need to be asked?

Was he better than Frank? Yes. Defense separates him there.

Was he better than Bonds? Yes. Pre-steroids. Griffey was better defensively than Bonds, though both are gold glovers. Griffey had better power than Bonds. Bonds didn't start putting up monster HR numbers until he started juicing.

For 1 year I'd take Ozzie over Lou. It's tough, but I'll go with the guy who won a WS.

I'm gonna listen when I get to work tomorrow.

I can't wait to hear some Doug Dascenzo talk. Didn't he play all 9 positions in one game?

You know, I kinda remember that too, but I can't find it documented anywhere. If he did, then I can now add "The Worst first baseman, Second Baseman, Shortstop, etc. in MLB history" to his epilogue.

I forgot Lou won a WS with Cincy, so my apologies Lou.

I guess I remember the bad choke jobs by his teams more, 2008 Cubs (97 wins), 2001 Mariners (116 wins).

I think I'd still take Ozzie over Lou.
