SSS, you are LUCKY that you didn't see that article. If you did/or heard about it - boy oh boy would you be pissed off - and rightfully so!!! He said stuff about the subway in NY (THAT'S why there was such hostility when ATL came to play NY), and about homosexuals and tons of other $hit - stuff that wants to make you puke.
I don't know, I agree you have to take things with a grain of salt, but John Rocker, IMO, messed up TOO many times to get any sympathy from me.
I think John Rocker=Sicko. Period. Sorry DZrose!
You all prolly know that John Rocker is now a Cleveland Indian. He has caused so much trouble, that a Cleveland player (forgot who, maybe KSig RC can enlighten me) who, prior to Rocker coming to CLE, had wanted to sign a long-term deal with Cleveland. Once Rocker arrived, though, his teammate told his agent to call the deal with Cleveland off, b/c he couldn't stand Rocker at all.
He also got a lot of "attention" when ATL came to play SF. SF= very tolerant city, where there are not a shortage of homosexuals. I'm pretty sure that a couple of Giant fans threw stuff at him, too. There was definitely a loud stretch of "boos" and profanities thrown at him when he came onto the field.
He has caused so many people to hate him and be upset at him that when ATL came to town, there was always tons of security guards and police.
Thanks guys for the heads-up on the baseball players! Corbin, that's really cool that LXA has so many notable sports alums - for example, Larry Dierker (manager of the Houston astros), and also Larry Brown, the coach of the Sixers (of which I am a fan!!!!)!!
