"Probably the biggest surprise from our 25-minute interview was Guillen’s admission that he doesn’t just answer fan e-mails, but that he has actually used some of your ideas in ballgames.
Said Ozzie, "I put Carlos Quentin third [in the lineup] one time because we were desperate about something. One fan wrote it in, and I put him in [third]. I put A.J. Pierzynski batting second. Some idiot from Joilet. I said, ‘Maybe this guy knows more than me.’ And we did. And we win with him!""

I'd call it quaint.
"I heard 55,000 people screaming so I felt like the ball got through," Punto said. "I wanted to dig a hole, crawl inside it and hide. It’s embarrassing. That can’t happen."
