June 16, 201114 yr That is most excellent. That is, the image of Hawk's boys swimming towards the Carlos Gomez egg. Edited June 16, 201114 yr by Bighurt52235
June 16, 201114 yr Basically, any player--young or old-- named in this sentence: "Well, I know one thing-- this young man (undeserved and irrational superlative goes here)."
June 16, 201114 yr I vaguely remember after a meaningless Luis Terrero home run in 07. Hawk said something along the lines of I talked to a scout for [insert team here] and let me tell you there are 29 other ball clubs that would love to have a Luis Terrero on their ball club. This guy has all the tools and is finally putting it together.
June 16, 201114 yr About 2 years prior to alex rios all star appearance, Hawk had a giant man crush on alex, calling him one of the few five tool players. I agreed with hawk until 2 years ago, especially with his batting stance being so unbelievably terrible looking.
June 16, 201114 yr During the game Anthony Reyes pitched against us several years ago, Hawk was going on about his old-school mechanics and how great of a pitcher he was going to be one day. I remember for quite awhile afterward people were obsessing over him and trying to find ways of including him in trade scenarios with St. Louis. Additional names: Corey Patterson (esp. when he was with the Cubs) Nate Cornejo Kila Ka'aihue (He played a limited time in 2008, and every year since then, but I recall Hawk going overboard with praise on this kid.)
June 17, 201114 yr QUOTE (coco1997 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 03:19 PM) Shin So--I mean, "Sin" Choo. He's a hell of a player.
June 17, 201114 yr I didn't read through the thread, but Pablo Ozuna, Greg Norton, and Carlos Gomez were the first ones I thought of.
