For some of the new visitors, you should know that one of Out of Left Field's authors is slave to an alter ego called The Geek, who inspires some strange thoughts, usually late at night and usually about baseball. With all 28 major-league teams -- plus the Devil Rays and Royals -- now down at spring training, here's some of The Geek's handiwork from last season.
NEW YORK CITY BASEBALL SEX SCANDALS (Aug. 14)
If it was any consolation to Mets catcher Paul Lo Duca during a time of turmoil that involved gambling and adultery allegations, he wasn't the first New York ballplayer to be caught with his pants down.
IN A WAY, WE ALL PLAYED FIRST BASE (June 21)
Why, Keith Hernandez, why were you being all faux-hipsterish on a Mets broadcast? Do you still think you have a shot at Elaine Benes? You only get one shot at Elaine Benes, unless your name is David Puddy.
SCHANG-GRA LAIS: THE ALL-TIME UNDERRATED BALLPLAYERS (June 28)
If you don't know who Wally Schang and Hippo Vaughn are, hopefully this helps.
A PARADISE LOST KIND OF FEELING: CARLOS COMES BACK TO T.O. (June 23)
Carlos Delgado was just in the wrong place at the wrong time -- Toronto in the late '90s -- to be a transcedent ballplayer.
OH, THE PROFANITY! OH, DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO TOMMY LASORDA THAT WAY!
Wait, there were two games where Dave Kingman hit three homers and had eight RBI against the Los Angeles Dodgers? No one could ever get the two confused, could they?
That's all for now. Send your thoughts to neatesager@yahoo.ca.
