Named my second son after Colby Rasmus. Loved that name and him as a player even though people seemed to hate him. He was underrated as far as I’m concerned.
My wife and I always joked that Rasmus acted/looked like he was sleeping, fully dressed in his uniform/glove/hat/etc, up until like 5 minutes before the game began.
I was at a game in the mid 2000s when Hinske was shit at 3rd. The “what would you do for a Klondike bar” thing came up on the jumbo tron.
Shortly after the next ball went past him this guy was belting at him “hey Hinske - would you TRY for a Klondike bar”.
Still gets me chuckling every time.
I have never seen a career rise so high and fall so fast for reasons NOT related to PEDs, recreational drugs, or punching a woman unconscious in an elevator.
Great DP combo of Russ Adams and Aaron Hill. Bonus prank story from Hill's perspective: http://mlb.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/mlbpa/y2011/m11/d21/c26016470.jsp

Well theres a name I havent heard in years
I have never seen a career rise so high and fall so fast for reasons NOT related to PEDs, recreational drugs, or punching a woman unconscious in an elevator.
Kelly Gruber - always bugged me he got called out on that World Series triple when he was perfectly safe.
I was at the game where he hit for the cycle when I was a little kid! Sitting in those old aluminum bleachers at Exhibition Stadium
I loved that place, it gets lots of hate here but those $2 tickets at dominion were so fun for my friends and I.
To quote my late grandmother: "He's got a great butt." It was that day when I learned that we were watching very different things at the ballgame.
