As we welcome JD Drew back in town tonight for the first time since April 2006, I figured I’d pass along a funny, memory-jogging read from August of 1999; the recap of the infamous game in which JD Drew got pelted with a D-cell battery from the outfield stands. My favorite part:
Drew, who missed the first game of the series with a bruised right hand, heard what longtime observers called the most brutal treatment of a visiting player at the Vet since Dodgers pitcher Burt Hooton was rattled by an obnoxious crowd during the 1977 NL championship series. Hooton had to leave Game 3 of that series in the second inning when he became wild and was unable to throw a strike the more the crowd razzed him.
Ahhh, I remember it like it was yesterday. The Drew part, that is. I wasn’t alive for the Hooton hollerin’.
Anyway, go read it, there’s some good quotes in there and you are even reminded of the “Wayne Gomes as closer”-era of the late 90’s Phils.

I’m pretty sure we should upgrade to 9 volts this year…

PS: You guys have trackback urls?

I agree with throwing 9 volts. I hope Bruntlett somehow runs him down and sends him to the emergency room. He is a no class bum!

I hate J.D.(Jacks-off Dudes?) Drew. I hate Boston.
Due to the fact that ‘boo’ could be misconstrued as ‘Drew (I know, too[again!] many ‘ooo’ sounds), an old wrestling favorite is in order.
ASS-HOLE. ASS-HOLE. ASS-HOLE. ASS-HOLE. ASS-HOLE. ASS-HOLE.

If you couple the “boooooo” with a middle finger, there’s really no room for confusion.
