People in general dont like to be bothered while theyre eating…so thats no surprise. When I see thosej guys in a non-autograph setting I never ask for their autograph, I think its rude. Some guys are cool and will still do it but when theyre out and about and you run into them at the mall or at a club or something I usually wont ask for an autograph, Ill just say whats up and say good game or something to that effect. They tend to appreciate it more than when someone ambushes them while theyre trying to eat….

anyways, thats just my experience. Ron Hextall is mad cool though (all time favorite Flyer for me. That guy was Phialdelphia through and through). Biggest dickhead athlete Ive ever met was Eric Lindros. Rich Tocchet was really cool, I ran into him a few times. Once was at a car dealership back when he had a huge mullet.

Saw Cole yesterday while waiting in line to buy a burrito. He refused to sign an autograph. I’m not saying he’s the second coming of Ty Cobb, but class act? He did sign a bunch of autographs at the game on Saturday and I understand the general rule of thumb about talking to someone like that while they’re eating (even though he was just standing there at the time), but I wouldn’t say he’s exceptionally classy. (Side note: I have met Jimmy Rollins, Brad Lidge, Larry Anderson, Hugh Douglas, Ron Hextall, Gary Maddox, Matt Geiger, etc… over the years. Now those guys are cool).

Mayberry might be a nice get right now…He hit another bomb down here today against Canada. I think he wants to sit at the adults table.

Great Interview, Tim.

Have you ever thought about interviewing one of the younger prospects (Mayberry, Carrasco, Happ, etc.)? I’d love to get to know them better.

i love the fact that what stands out the most to him is his worst starts. instead of relishing in his success, which most guys his age that have had his level of accomplishment most certainly would, he focuses on his mistakes and on how to eliminate them. all the great ones have that

That Braves game was the one where he tried to throw the ball to second base and it ended up in center field… I have that moment ingrained in my mind.

Very insightful interview. I thought all left handed pitchers were supposed to be spaced out. Hammel’s baseball head is firmly screwed on. It will have to be in ’09 since he will probably have a bulls eye drawn on his back by the rest of the major league teams. He may even eventually approach the level of a Whitey Ford given his style of stuff. As a comment for the Hammels Foundation question and answer, I advise Cole to go find a new wife and start making more of his own kids and problems.

Manny (Ramirez, that is) got 2 years, $45 million to stay with LAD.

He’s arguably the best hitter in baseball… but that is going to end badly. He didn’t get what he wanted, nor what he deserved. There are less deserving players out there making more money and he’s eventually going to realize that and revert into the Manny we saw at the tail end of his BOS years. I love watching him hit and would be ecstatic if he was playing LF in Philadelphia, but with a pretty good indication that he’s not getting what he wants (he lost a ton of money by listening to Bor-AS$), it’s a huge risk.

Oh, my bad Manny. Didn’t see that, that’s a lot more realistic then.

NEPA, remember the question asks for REGULAR SEASON games only… so all postseason games are not an option.
