Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[Omar 382]

Was he played by Wesley Snipes?

 

[Cedrique]

Lavar Burton

 

[Cedrique]

This might be a Northeast question

 

[Omar 382]

Yeah, I don't know him. But I bet NE does!

 

[Omar 382]

This might be a Northeast question

exactly

 

[Omar 382]

I looked it up. I never heard of him

 

[Cedrique]

Yeah, this guy was a little more hardcore than the Blindside kid. He was in prison for armed robbery and some scout discovered him there. Just a few years before The Longest Yard came out. Apparently the 70's were the glory days of prison sports. Now its just a bunch of guys lifting free weights and drawing racist tatoos on each other.

 

[Omar 382]

Can I give a player until NE guesses yours?

 

[Cedrique]

I looked it up. I never heard of him

Yeah, probably because his career kind of overlapped with Rickey Henderson and Tim Raines and they stole his thunder with all the base stealing.

Can I give a player until NE guesses yours?

y not

 

[Omar 382]

• His career is very similar to another player, but I'm looking for the player who played more recently
• Also a big stolen base guy
• Of his 6 home runs in 2000, two were grand slams and one was an inside-the-parker
• Pretty awful offensively
• Actually, pretty awful all around
• .339 career slugging percentage

Wow. Juan Pierre?

 

[Omar 382]

No, Pierre was significantly better

 

[Omar 382]

369 career stolen bases

 

[Cedrique]

Luis Castilla?

 

[Cedrique]

or is it something that sounds like luis castilla? I'm thinking of a guy the Mets had that the Phillies almost got to fill in for Utley one year

 

[Omar 382]

Not him but you're on the right path

 

[Omar 382]

Not him either
