May 12, 200619 yr Aaron made a great running catch with the bases loaded, but ran face-first into the wall and busted his nose. Called "Crash" for a reason, eh? Heal up soon, A-Row!
May 12, 200619 yr Can a baseball player get by with a Rip Hamilton style mask and still stay in the game?
May 12, 200619 yr I just saw the replay of it on ESPN. Gutsy play by Aaron, and it was plays like that that made Rowand such a fan favorite. All out hustle, and showing no fear of the wall. Win or die trying!! P.S. Nice catch A-Row....heal fast, & get well soon.
May 12, 200619 yr Just gives it his all, all the time, that's why he'll always be one of my favorites. Get well soon Arow. Edited May 12, 200619 yr by Rowand44
May 12, 200619 yr Rowand isn't afraid of no Damn wall :banghead I heard Frank Thomas left the game today with an undisclosed injury
May 12, 200619 yr QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ May 11, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) did he break his nose? Was there blood? Sorry had to ask. This was the most info I could find... http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/scorecard/ml...rticleID=166357
May 12, 200619 yr get well Arow...hopefully plays like that will keep those philly fans from being so ridiculous in the future.
May 12, 200619 yr QUOTE(Jim Spencer @ May 11, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) Rowand isn't afraid of no Damn wall :banghead I heard Frank Thomas left the game today with an undisclosed injury Yeah, he was limping off. But he's in his prime!
May 12, 200619 yr Author QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ May 11, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) did he break his nose? Was there blood? Sorry had to ask. Yeah, blood on the outside of the nose and Aaron was spitting blood a little bit. Probably just dripped into his mouth. They reported it as definitely a broken nose.
May 12, 200619 yr I love Aaron Rowand. Jim Thome used to talk about how he ranks guys into his "All Animal Team" and if I had one, I'd put Rowand at center.
May 12, 200619 yr Great outfielders don't see the wall, they taste it. As good as Thome has been doing at the plate, and Anderson in the field, I still regret losing Rowand
May 12, 200619 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 11, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) Really??? Yes. That doesn't mean I still wouldn't do the trade (because I would) though.
May 12, 200619 yr Went off to a standing ovation, this guy is just tough as nails there is no way around it.
May 12, 200619 yr QUOTE(Felix @ May 11, 2006 -> 08:12 PM) Great outfielders don't see the wall, they taste it. grinderball rule #25. rowand is a big reason the phils are playing so well as of late. hope to see you back on the field soon.

May 12, 200619 yr Oh man thats not good. Get well soon ARow. As far as the trade Thome is just mashing and Anderson is coming around with just as good defense, but that doesn't mean you can't miss Aaron. The trade is definitley paying off, but Aaron was a great guy. Good luck on your recovery and your return Aaron.

Rowand is a cult hero around these parts, even as a Phillie, but it was worth it. Rowand is just balls out It's hard not to miss him...but it's not like I'm not happy
May 12, 200619 yr Only Aaron Rowand could get 3 threads on Soxtalk for a defensive play by a non-Sox player.
May 12, 200619 yr Rowands impact on this site is amazing. The first score I look for every night is the Phillies score and its only because of Rowand.
