In my rookie year, 2001, [Cardinals pitcher] Dave Veres sawed me off and broke my bat with a 92-mile-an-hour sinker. Boomer [then teammate Davis Wells] glued toothpicks all over the ball and wrote a bunch of sayings on it and then gave it to me. What was your most embarrassing moment? Losing a fly ball in the Metrodome and running into the wall in leftfield. That was in 2002. What is your favorite off-day activity? Spending time with my kids. If I weren't playing baseball, I'd be ... in the Marines. If I were commissioner for a day, I'd ... get rid of the designated hitter. Last Week Rowand, 27, who has two children with his wife, Marianne, hit a 10th-inning homer to beat the Padres on Sunday as the White Sox improved to 42-20. This Week The White Sox end interleague play against the Dodgers, whom Rowand has not faced in his four seasons. Issue date: June 20, 2005 He must hate Frank.
