NevinOnAPrayer: and it is with teary eyes that I, Phil Nevin, announce to you, my fellow number 1 draft picks, my retirement from Major League Baseball. |
|
NevinOnAPrayer: I hope that I will be remembered for those three-to-fivish good years I had in San Diego, and not for turning down a trade of myself for a three-week old aborted fetus onto which a homeless man had recently urinated, only to then be traded for Chan Ho Park. |
|
NevinOnAPrayer: And then for Jerry Hairston Jr., and then for "cash considerations" and nobody. |
|
PigPenMcDonald: DON'T SWEAT IT PHIL, IT'S HARD OUT THERE FOR A NUMBER 1 DRAFT PICK |
|
AlmonJoy: people have higher expectations for us thanks to circumstances beyond our control |
|
LilAbner: You can never live up to that kind of pressure. And then the Don Russ people come over to rate you! I was so shook up I hit under .200 in 4 of the 6 seasons I played. |
|
AlmonJoy: yeah, pujols hit more home runs in like a month and a half last year than i had in 14 seasons |
|
ChambersOfHorror: in 1985 I had 4 at-bats and struck out in 2 of them my OPS was -100 |
|
PigPenMcDonald: I AM REMEMBERED FOR BEING TALL |
|
NevinOnAPrayer: Thanks for your concern, everybody. Hopefully I won't be traded to three more teams before this hits the wire! |
|
LilAbner: With those few good seasons, I'm sure 5 or 6 ESPN writers will be outraged if you don't make the Hall! |
|
ChambersOfHorror: Phil, in a field of mediocrity, you are truly the greatest of the #1 draft picks, and you will be missed my brother |
|
NevinOnAPrayer: d'awww ;( |

| LawnMauer: I'm going to buy a batting cage made out of Walter Johnson's bones! | |
homosexual_rod: EAT A DOLLPHIN TAGO |
|
| Elijah_Price: put the needs of the game above my own! | |
| Elijah_Price: break my arm! | |
| homosexual_rod: BILL A TIME MACHINE TO BRINGK BACK HIP-HOGGER PANTS | |
| LawnMauer: Use his time machine to make it so that Phil Nevin never existed! For no reason! Because I can! | |
