I miss me and my old man referring to Iguchi as "Tadahootie"...

I know some on here didn't like Hawk...but he was my boy.

You're my boy Hawk Blue!

True story:

Back in January-ish 2005, Tony LaRussa hosted a fundraiser for his animal welfare charity ARF. He had his sports friends there to meet people, Oakland As people but also Raiders and others. Included were his old pals Eddie Einhorn and Jerry Reinsdorf. I had a nice chat with Einhorn about my Sox fandom (joking I might have been the only one in San Francisco) and my dad. I had a short exchange with JR like this:

Me: "Hey thanks for coming, I'm a huge Sox fan!"
JR: "That's great, thanks for supporting Tony"
Me: "You gotta sign that Japanese second baseman, he's supposed to be good"
JR: "We are working on it, but his agent is an asshole!"
Me: (with a laugh) "You gotta deal with those sometimes...make it happen!"

The rest is history. You're welcome.
