And I now know why our Red Sox loving BTF management team banned Kevin---he must have paid for at least three months worth of A.J. Burnett all by himself.
My three favorites:
Barry Zito Demands Trade To World Without War
283 Children Killed In Minor League Baseball Team's 'Kill Your Children' Promotion
Blue Jays GM Confirms There Never Really Was A 'Roy Halladay'
EDIT: I realize immediately that I left out possibly my all-time favorite: Kevin Youkilis Keeps Everyone On Bus Awake With Another One Of His Nasty Sex Stories
U.S. Deports Lou Dobbs.
Yankees Ensure 2003 Pennant By Signing Every Player In Baseball
Good one.
What's interesting is that A-Rod and Randy Johnson were shown in the fictitious Yankee photo and by 2005 both players would be on the Yankee roster.
