Yours Truly on the Radio

Yesterday I was a guest on a little internet talk radio show called Yankee Fan Club Radio. A couple of weeks ago the host saw one of my many posts calling Steve Phillips and idiot and asked me to come on and after a few weeks of me being busy I went on the show last night.

You can find the podcast here and I come on at around the 44 minute mark where I attempt to speak English. Surprisingly I don't sound completely gay, just mildly.

My favorite part is that they keep pronouncing your name as Simon and you refuse to correct them. Good job though.

Actually it's quite the opposite. I intended it to be pronounced like that initially. Simon was one of my nicknames in high school for my baseball team, so in actuality I've been refusing to correct you guys. Ha.

Who lets people call them by the wrong name for four years?
Simon said…
No I meant in regards to the site. Not during college. People called me Simon and Simone in High School, I just decided to go with Simon for the website. Mostly so I could have some sort of deny ability.

All famous people go by fake names. They usually dont pick names gayer than their real names though.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...
