Need TC'ers Help

This Saturday I'll be headed to Seattle to see them take on the Yankees on Sunday. At SafeCo they have a place to have your jersey personalized, it takes about an inning and a half to get it done. Last time I was there I had my M's jersey personalized so this time I'm taking my Braves road greys.
This is where you guys come in, I need help in figuring out what to put on the back of said jersey.
And comments are welcome to write in your vote if you don't like the choices given. This will help point me in the right direction.

Blauser? Why would you ever put his name on a jersey? Unless you were planning on burning it afterwards.
by cbwilk on Sep 3, 2008 8:55 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Just for the record..
…Blauser was one of my favorite players growing up.

Can’t understand how that could happen, but everybody has something.

No love for Avery...
I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

Come on surely I wasn’t the only one who’s favorite player growing up, and still today was Steve Avery

Heh, can’t say he was my favorite (although he’s high on the list), but it’s actually one of the few autographs I have…on a Mad Italian napkin, no less.

Hmm
Did the Braves ever have a guy for like 1-3 days? Like one of those, trade for player A, play him a few games, but really it’s to trade him for player B?
For example . . . Braves trade Ryan Langerhans to Oakland, Langerhans plays like a game for Oakland, and then gets traded to Washington.
Screw it – LANGERHANS #1

Did we ever find out who we got in return from Oakland? Or was it just cash?

Hell if I know
I just find enjoyment out of obscure sports jerseys with silly stories behind them. Atlanta Hawks Rasheed Wallace for a day, Brady Anderson Cleveland Indians, Scottie Pippen Houston Rockets, Fernando Valenzuela Angels/O’s/Phillies/Padres, etc, etc.

When I can come up with more obscure I will.

Just for the record, I still have 2 Klesko jersey’s, a home and an away. I still wear them when I get the chance.

My two favorite players of all time...
… Justice, the cocky badass with the sweet swing that called out the fans in ‘95 only to back it up with the deciding bomb in game 6. He had it all: power, average, decent speed, plus fielder, rocket arm and Halle Berry…. and Matty D is the most inspirational Bravo I’ve ever watched. Often looked over because he doesn’t look like a ballplayer, but the kid can mash, he doesn’t whine about playing time, hustles out every ground ball, and he is a great human being… So RainDelay, slap a big 23 on your back and know that you can’t go wrong. And Blauser—Really??

Dave Justice was the guy that really made me like the Braves when I first started watching and paying attention during the ’91 WS. Then I fell in love with Prime Time the following year.
Diaz, on the other hand, seems like a truly great person, but I wouldn’t go as far to say he can mash. He just had a couple of lucky seasons where Bobby played him in the right situations and the ball fell where the defenders weren’t.

I GUARANTEE no one else will have that one. Also, the Braves could put you out there and nobody would ever know the difference, except for the fact that you’d be better than the original.

Often
I like to go to wikipedia and read up on baseball players from time to time. And quite often, many of them are multi-sport stars in high school. But what gets me, are guys who are for lack of a better terms, active fat pitchers – Heath Bell, Bob Wickman, CC Sabathia; all three of those guys were high school basketball stars, for example.
Now I’m pretty sure they were a shadow of what they are now back in high school, but my mind can’t help but imagine portly fellas like the aforementioned three in their current state, a decade or more ago, in a high school gym, playing basketball with zit-faced teenagers. I find it amusing, and must assume their girth probably made them highly effective power-forwards or centers. Regardless, they must’ve been total bitches to have to post-up against.

Heath’s still loves basketball. He doesn’t play real hardcore cause he doesn’t want to blow out an ACL like Aaron Boone, but it’s definitely one of his non baseball hobbies.

Fat NBA players always amuse me
Tractor Trayler is one of my favorites, since he was traded for Nowitzki. Guy’s like 6’9" and 300 lbs

Charles Barkley
Made fun of himself more than anyone else, but if anything he was shorter than he was plain fat. Anyone who was 6’4 but could out-rebound guys 6-8 inches taller more than backed up his mouth. I remember when Traylor decimated the backboard in college – considering how little he’s done with his career, I’d have to say he’s kinda like Harold Miner, and more of less a side-show draftee.
Other fat guys: Mark Bryant, Luc Longley, Buddha Edwards, “Pig” Miller, post-strike Shawn Kemp, and current Shaq.

He’s not a “portly pitcher”, but they’ve been bragging on the pre-and post-game shows that Josh Anderson was quite the basketball star, and won a dunk contest with a 360. OKT asked if he had video footage of it and he said he didn’t, but he could show us a 360 “anytime”. I love that kid.

Does anyone else remember...
the “other Randy Johnson”. He played for the Braves from 1982-84. I remember going to a game and some of us made a banner that said “Randy’s Rooters” and made a lot of noise every time he had an AB. I think he was pretty amazed, because he kept staring up at us.
Anyway, I don’t know what his number was. He now works for the front office of the A’s:

Since he came first wouldn’t the 6’10" pitcher be “the other Randy Johnson”? Obviously he’s more famous, but he had a mullet so how awesome could he be?

If I were going to do that..
…I’d wait till he actually had a real # not one reserved for guys who are just up in September.

Well Gang..
It looks like it’s going to be “Heap”…
Which should be the only one in existence. I’d love to be able to get a picture of it, once it’s done to McCann. heh
