@Kenzo Krew: My favorite thing in sports history is when The Broad Street Bullies wore black armbands to practice the day after their favorite bar burned down.

@McGroovey: Can't righty say, but Bob Mould's name definitely qualifies him to be on the Expos' roster.

Speaking of great-named Expos, when I was a teen, some friends and I bribed a Shea usher and found our way to field level outfield seats, where we razzed Ellis Valentine so mercilessly he gave us the finger hidden within his glove. We waited for him after the game (Mets lost) to semi-apologize, and he was a totally cool guy.

underrated in terrible mets trades. I was so excited when they got him. glad to hear he was a good sport!

@Joe B: Yeah, he said he'd heard worst, and gloated about the Expos win, but in a really good-natured way. A class act.

@elkeno: Haha! Yeah, my snotty teen game had some holes in it.
