Daily Dose: April 24 - Another Santo Classic...

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

So I was listening to the radio last night and hear that the Cubs were still playing - so I switched over to see what was happening (Despite being a Sox fan, I'd rather listen to a ballgame than regular radio) and, as we all know, there's a good chance Ron Santo will give us something to laugh at (i.e.santoohno.mp3"> .)

Anyway, Ronnie confused these two guys in the on-deck box...which is really funny if you think about it...
You have Daryle Ward, listed at 6-2 and a generous 242 pounds...but I'd say he's closer to 260, 265...

Then you have Felix Pie, listed at 6-2 and a monstrous 172...

Finally, there was that great Pat & Ronnie moment when they were talking about a foul ball that Fukudome couldn't quite track down that landed a few rows off the rail in Colorado. Pat mentioned that a fan nearly caught the ball in a hat...

then a few moments later, Santo says "I can't tell if that's a boy or a girl, with the hat. Was that a boy or a girl?..."

- pregnant pause -

"I don't know Ron."

Great stuff....
