QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Dec 5, 2005 -> 01:09 AM) i'm guessing 35. Yes, his childhood hero was Frank Thomas and he usually wore #35. When he didn't, he wore #20.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 5, 2005 -> 12:57 AM) What number would he ultimately like to have? 55? It's his 3rd choice, but 1 and 2 are taken.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 09:58 PM) Maybe he likes Lance Briggs too. Players get an assigned number when they first come up. No choice in the matter. Forty-one was not his choice.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 08:20 PM) where would he play? Can somebody help me? I've been looking for the soft-cover Sports Illustrated Commemorative Edition (not he regular WS edition or the Hardcover special Edition) on the World Series. Someone posted a copy of the cover here, but I haven't been able to find in anywhere locally. I live in Colorado, so maybe it isn't available here. I tried contacting SI, but they didn't seem to know what I was talking about. The photo has AJ and Jenks hugging in the middle. Brian Anderson and Brandon McCarthy are coming in on the far right. Has anyone seen this issue? Can anyone get a copy of it for me? I would, of course, pay you for it (I could even throw in a McCarthy rookie card).

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) I bet the whole thing just has to be surreal though. It sure is. Terrific and terrible at the same time. Especially with a pitcher.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) So are you guys following him around or observing from afar? Mostly afar. Will try to get to Fenway though.

Yes, he got his beer shower. It's dumb, but it's tradition.

Mac Daddy is great, but some may get it confused and think I am trying to be cool--which Brandon and his sister will deny. Seems I taught them how to be tall but didn't teach them respect!

PMAC!? :puke Mr. BMAC? Brandon arriving? How did our daughter get to ISU? One word: volleyballscholarship! Gotta go listen to the game...

You better pray Steff doesn't read that.

BMAC was a nickname he got in College. There are lots worse. His sister (freshman, Illinois State) was in her room and someone walked in with today's Trib. She asked to see the sports and there was this article with a nice picture too. So she say, "Oh hey. here's my brother!". Now she's going to go show it to the baseball players.

I would like Shawn Tracey to tell us what he did with Brandon McCarthy for his 21st Birthday!

Southey; Not THE McCarthy. Unless you happen to remember single A Clubs from the early 70s. Bet you weren't born.

I nominate Sean Tracey. He pitched "lights out" the second half at Great Falls. Bet he does it again this year too.
