Living up to expectorations: The Alex Sanabia spitball clip

(www.baseballnation.com)

posted 2 days ago by Repoz to marlins | 6 comment(s)

Alex Sanabia is on the Marlins. The odds are at least decent that you’ve never heard of Alex Sanabia before. What’s he all about? Let’s see ... leads the league in losses ... kind of a control pitcher in the minors ... 24 years old ... drafted in the 32nd round, just a round after William Mays ... but pretty nondescript, mostly.

...Spitter. He’s the spit guy. The guy with the spit. Yeah, I remember him. Ol’ Spitface with the spit coming out of his face. Good spitter, that guy. Loves to spit. ...

7 people out of 400 personally knew Jeff Loria? Seems pretty high.

The group was South Florida baseball fans, which presumably makes an acquaintance more likely (of course, then the question is how they managed to round up 400 of them). It's a shame they didn't report the count for the combination "personally know" and "unfavorable".

His popularity should be even lower than this. A lot of people must still not understand just what he did and just how wrong it was.

From the sidebar to the article:

The team’s 'super fans’ — those who attended at least one game last year — were asked their opinion of owner Jeffrey Loria.

How many of the voters personally knew Castro?

In the Modern Era (since the start of the American League):
1. Hitler
2. Stalin
3. Pol Pot
4. Jeff Loria

Loria might have to work a bit to hang on to that ranking - still a lot of despicable people around.

Is he less popular in Miami or Montreal?

Judging from some of the Marlins crowd shots, I wouldn't be surprised if every fan knew every other fan.

Castro should actually be far more popular. At least he never destroyed South Florida.

Reminds me of this.

And, he'll probably die soon.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that Loria is on the short list of the worse people in the past century. (Outside of Lawyers, I don't think anyone could defend Loria as a human being.)
