I wish I remembered my acct info. I started that group in 1998. I mean come on it's yahoo group name is "marlins" that's cool! I started it when it was on a site before yahoo took them over, I want to say onelist.com but I'm not sure.

I just can't believe I got that excited about getting Oh Henry

You are such a fruit. I can't believe you survive in New York.

I didn't like it at the time - and I still feel that way. At the time my family was season ticket holders of the Sea Dogs and we could watch Ross Gload play - he was a pretty good player. He hit for the cycle in the exhibition game the Sea Dogs played against the Marlins in Portland. With the Cubs' AAA team he was playing really well - something like 18 home runs in 36 games (he had 18 with the Sea Dogs prior to that for the entire season) and was called up. His first major league hit? A home run. He's turned into a solid 1B/LF/DH for the White Sox (injured for most of this year, though).

I remember when he was on the Cubs and the bleacher bums would throw the "O Henry" bars onto the field after he hit a homer or made a good defensive play.

 

Good times indeed.

I remember that trade. It was actually a surprise that the FO would go out and get someone like him.

 

 

Oh well :whistle

He had like 22 HR that season, so he was productive. But when he came to the Marlins, he didn't do crap. His batting average was very bad--something around Mike Lowell.
