1. Gonfalon Bubble Posted: March 27, 2008 at 12:02 PM (#2721489)Does it involve balls bouncing off the top of his head?
Then why the hell did you include it in the quote!
How about saving a baby from a burning house (and then a cat, followed by a player piano)
(Homer at the bat is just so awesome. Canseco's not my favorite part of the episode though. Close between Boggs and Mattingly)
It's a little odd that Jordan doesn't identify the lawyer "Rob" by his full name- Deadspin commenters and Google news confirm that his name is Robert Saunooke.
You know, one of the things in life I'm most proud of is that I've never had a girlfriend head to the bathroom to finsh herself off after we made the sweet, sweet love.
I'd like to know how you can be so sure of that.
I think that it's an aesthetic device by the author used to create the idea that Canseco's world is just this wild, crazy place. He doesn't retain the legal services of Robert Saunooke; he's this crazy #### who hires Rob.
Handcuffs.
Didn't Dode Paskert do this?
yes--why isn't it indicated in the lead-in that this was written by Pat Jordan
his "expose" on Steve Garvey was brilliant, as was an OLD piece he wrote on Sudden Sam for SI way back in 1970
Not sure. George Davis saved a lady from an apartment fire on his way to a game, once. There's an account in the NHBA.
I believe it's a reference to The Simpsons where Burns tries to hire MLB stars to beat the Shelbyville team. Canseco ends up not making the game because he's busy saving a woman, her child, and her belongings from a fire.
Well played. *golf clap*
There goes the presidency.
Meh. This country doesn't deserve me anyway. I'm more of a Third World dictator sort. You know, the kind of guy that gets things done.
Shortly before leaving the major league scene, Paskert was hailed as a hero for his actions in rescuing three families from an early morning fire. According to newspaper reports, Paskert and a friend were walking home at 1:30 a.m. on February 23, 1921, when they spotted the blaze, which broke out in a Cleveland clothing store before spreading to nearby apartments. While his friend pulled the alarm, Paskert made three separate trips up the burning stairwell, carrying out five children and directing their parents to safety, saving the lives of 15 people. "In rescuing the families," the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reported, "Paskert's hands and arms were burned badly and his face blistered by the flames."
...and later, under an assumed name of Spanish origin, signed to catch for the Giants and later implicated in the BALCO scandal. He was the second oldest position player in the major leagues behind Julio Franco. When queried about his injuries he related that appreciated the first aid he received but wished that his Good Samaritan had taken off his golf spikes before stamping out the blaze on his face.
Best Regards
John
