To celebrate Cleveland's greatest pitcher in team history, the Indians are giving away Ricky Vaughn glasses at the Jake tomorrow, April 25th in a game against the Rangers. Anyone who knows me knows that I was Wild Thing for Halloween last year (haircut, professional custom jersey, the whole 9 yards), and I wish I would have had these glasses at that time, rather then having to use white out for lightning bolts and to superglue a cheap skull on the front. Hopefully Charlie Sheen will be at the game to throw out the first pitch, although with his hit television show and his hilarious new Major League-themed DirectTV commercial, who knows if he has the time? I for one am glad Sheen is able to not only ride the success of this great movie for 18+ years, but to also still work in the process, unlike people such as Dustin Diamond who live in the past and collect Welfare checks.Anyone out there who happens to attend this game, I will gladly buy these off of you. Otherwise I may have to resort to EBay, but who knows how much these would go for. Hopefully the giveaway is a success so that they can follow it up with "Eddie Harris Jar o' Crisco Day" and "Pedro Cerrano Jobu Statue Day."
LAST NIGHT'S RESULTS:
Twins L (11-8)
Brewers W (12-7)
Reds off
touch with baseball when his childhood heroes Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and Jim Gantner retired but the Great Home Run Chase of 1998 reignited his passion. As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Erik became involved with the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity. With this group Erik traveled to Portland, OR and Baltimore, MD to work on construction projects and help the group raise $25,000 to partially sponsor a house in Milwaukee. Also at UWM, Erik met Peter Nagel. The two attended their first Brewers game together during Opening Weekend 2003. Despite their failure to ignite the coals at their first tailgate, the two had a blast and were soon making weekly trips to the ballpark. Erik has gone on to several colleges and changed careers several times, and has moved all the way out to New Hampshire, but has always stayed true to his baseball roots by holding part-time stadium usher jobs. To this day he looks back fondly on his incredible cross-country journey.
