You know I agree 100% with what you said there. They were used to seeing Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn and let him know it. Hayes they never got that side, they always saw a fast, cocky kid with an attitude. Then he showed up with the long ball and I'm sure the crowds loved that.
Tanaka was everything you'd want from a player on your team. Team first attitude and a great motivator that wouldn't hesitate to say you lost your balls.
It's always great to talk Major League Baseball, but I didn't mean to hijack your serious thread. I haven't been a major baseball fan long enough to have a great memory yet, the best I could come up with was ARod's 499th HR then his attempt at 500 at the K. Everyone was booing him all game until after 499 and then on his last at bat the entire stadium was on their feet cheering louder than I have ever heard. It was pretty cool, then he didn't hit a HR and the entire place booed him.
