Shelley = My New Hero

As a Yankee fan who went to college in Massachusetts the non stop Yankee Sucks chants grew a little tiresome. I have no issue with Yankee Sucks chants when the Red Sox are playing the Yankees, in fact I think they should be encouraged. However, 9 times out of 10 the Yankee Sucks chants come in some random moment that makes no sense, like home games versus the Devil Rays or completely random like the Patriots Superbowl parades. What the hell do the Yankees have to do with the Patriots winning the Superbowl, people in Boston are just a bit obsessive over the Yankees. It was annoying, so anytime a Red Sox fan gets tooled on I find it amusing, especially when it's a ten year old.

And this is where Shelley Duncan comes in. When asked for an autograph from a little Red Sox Nation misfit he signed it Red Sox Suck, Shelley Duncan. Of course the mother of the kid is going to whine like a little bitch about how Shelley doesn't represent the Yankees well and that he shouldn't be using the word suck. You just brought your kid to a Yankee Red Sox game I'm pretty sure he was surrounded by F*ck the Yankees chants, People 100% inebriated, and some fights between Yankee and Red Sox fans. I think he can handle viewing the word sucks.

Shelley of course has no problem with what he did and that's why he's the man.

“I thought I was back in middle school or high school, where you try to make a joke or say something funny, and you end up saying something that gets you in trouble, I try to be interactive with people, be funny, have a good time and have a laugh. It’s not always Yankees fans that have us sign stuff. I try to rile ’em up and be fun. I don’t expect anybody to make a big deal about it. Nobody ever has before.”

That's what you get kid for asking for the enemies signature. Now go to the other damn dugout and get JD Drew's ink, that's gonna be worth a lot of money someday.

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...
