you mighta coulda meant the pot leaf t shirt guy. I found that kid to be one of the most sympathetic characters in the movie though, just awkward and not reaching the Matty Mc levels of douchery. The worst part about that character was his deeply unfortunate hair. Lincecum as well.

Had he been able to play a few more years to pad his hall numbers, he would have been a lock. Of the corner infielders I saw play that are in the hall, I would put Allen at least equal if not ahead of Stargell, Cepeda, Perez and Brooks Robinson. Robinson was unique, making it primarily because of defense, so he’s probably not comparable. You’re right about peak years performance. He was dominant at his position in his era. I hate like hell to say it but that’s why I think Santo probably deserves it too. Although, Allen is far more deserving than Santo, imo.

i guess schtick is a derogatory term, but i didn’t mean it as such. I’d rather laugh at this guys balls to perform it in front of an audience that hates it so that i might laugh. his comedy was excellent on a conceptual level, i just wouldn’t want to be at a zmuda show. Do you get what I mean? I’d rather watch him test other peoples boundaries than have my own tested?
