Here's a quote from that angry looking John Rocker when asked about playing for the Yankees or Mets, lots of it might get censored here:
I'd retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?
Exactly....and apparently he also said some questionable stuff too...lol...
We were doing work at turner field and walking through the underbelly of it, apparently near the locker rooms or whatever, and this door blew open and rocker burst out looking none to happy. Dude was huge and thick. His neck was as thick as my waist and the veins popping out of it were large also. Big guy. Big scary looking guy.
Another time when we were there, and we parked in the players lot, I parked and when I was getting out a car pulled up and parked beside me. Out popped bobby cox. He nodded, I nodded. He then adopted me and we exchange cards on birthdays and holidays......no we don't.
But we did park beside each other and nod at each other. I gave him my best nonchalant "sup" nod.
