May 8, 200620 yr Better Call Geico Triple-A Albuquerque catcher Paul Hoover hit a grand slam in Friday's 7-5 win against Oklahoma, but the biggest winner in the game was Isotopes fan Admin Trujillo. Nine months ago, Trujillo won a white Nissan XTerra when Albuquerque third baseman Jason Wood hit a grand slam in the third inning of a game, triggering a free-car drawing sponsored by a local casino. The drawing happened again last night after Hoover's blast, and against all odds, Trujillo was again the winner--this time taking home a red Ford Escape. Trujillo's name was chosen out of about 60 entries. "I'm still in shock," Trujillo told the Alburquerue Tribune. "I'm shaking." The 45-year-old is not an Isotopes season ticket holder, but said he goes to 23 games a year and proclaims himself to be the team's biggest fan--and likely the one with the highest car insurance bill every month. Of course, the back-to-back SUV victories were the talk of the clubhouse. "I just can?t believe a guy is that lucky," Wood told the paper. "I don't know how that even works." http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prosp...ews/261234.html
