Oh Sexson, you should have held out for a job selling popcorn in the upper deck.

So . . . it's a well known fact that I went to many a Mariners game just to cheer on the man with the worst batting average in the major leagues year in and year out, who was also horribly overpaid (think of him as the Greg Ostertag of baseball, but without the nasty Fred Flintstone calf tat). Who? Why that 6'6" blue-eyed first base man, Richie Sexson. Shhhh . . . don't tell him he's bad, he's a little sensitive about it. Also don't hit him with the ball if you're pitching, he may overreact and rush the mound. Well, the news is that the M's just cut him and the Yankees picked him up for pocket change, leaving the Mariners with a hefty multi-million dollar invoice for goods never delivered. But, the ladies (including this one) love him. Don't know what I'm going to do with my Richie Sexson bobblehead . . . make a Yankees uni for him? That's a bit too much I think. Here's an okay picture I found of him. In the other pics, he's not that attractive, guess I've only been seeing him from the upper deck.
