Garth's Field Of Dreams
From Peter Gammons' baseball column in today's Boston Globe. Padre pipedream Vaughn's replacement in San Diego, Garth Brooks, isn't just going to spring training, he has told the Padres that he wants to play the entire season in the minor leagues, at age 37. The scouting report on Brooks reads ''25-30 arm (out of 80), 20 hitter,'' which is what a good Brookline High School left fielder would get. There's at least one very good baseball mind in that organization who recommended Shania Twain over Brooks

While many of us have expressed shock, pathos, and other mixed emotions about Garth's folly, if I had his money and clout I would love to spend a year driving a stock car. Why is he doing this? Because he can. Fireball Slim

Fireball Slim Yah, except Stock Car racing is booming, while the Pods are in deep doo doo financiallly and with the fans (my brothers in SD both said fuck em after the first fire sale). Garth can do it because its good pr for the club owners. Plus hes not likely to kill anyone out there. Stuart recalling when Steve Garvey got traded to the Pods, put on that old uniform and said, "I look like a chili dog" Oh twang: np: Howlin Wolf Chess masters: Don't get no better than this.
