The Best Ever?

Florida Marlins rookie Jeremy Hermida should retire at 21. Right now he would have perfect career numbers and a case to make that he is the best player ever in the majors.

You see, tonight he hit a grand slam in his very first at-bat in the bigs. According to the Baseball Almanac, only one other player has done that, Bill Dugglesby in 1898. But Dugglesby couldn't let well enough alone and went on to mediocritize what started out as a perfect career.

What more do you have to prove Hermida? Why take the risk? There's nowhere to go from here but down.

Wait, why are you pulling on the batting gloves again?! Hold up buddy, I won't let you do this to yourself.

Hey come back here! There's nothing for you in that batter's box.

No! Don't swing that bat! Arrgghhh!

You've got to wonder why Houston didn't give John Paciorek another shot.

welcome back bossman,
and now that the final days of baseball in 2005 are quickly drawing near, you should be writing more and more about it. Will the A's make it to the playoffs? are the white sox really doing well this year, or is it a conspiracy theory like we never landed on the moon?
