    Now how about those similar quotes to Hank's from other MLB owners regarding a rival team? .....and I'll even accept those as far back from the age of Bill Veeck....lol....just to make it easier.

    YOU were the one who gave an admonishing speech in response to my post about how I liked Hank's comments on "REDSOX NATION".
    But you were too busy and preoccupied with attacking Hank instead of putting it into it's proper perspective.

    I made the TV reference because of what Ron referred to blg as. You'll see what I mean when you see what show is on at that time.

    HERE WE GO AGAIN, DO YOU NOT PAY ATTENTION OR DID YOU NOT READ, DO NOT HI-JACK THIS THREAD IT IS RESERVED FOR Aaron Rodgers Humanitarian efforts. That I thought was perfectly clear...?

    You obviously were not even sucking on a pacifier when Veeck or Finley were lighting up MLB Owners NOTE: PLURAL or more than half the damned league, and like I said O'Malley and Horace Stoneham certainly had some strong words for each other against both Teams. Obviously these Owners DID NOT go out for Dinner or drinks anytime if at all. Do you really think O'Malley was a Nun when Marichal broke his bat over Roseboro's head. We've already had this discussion, and sadly NOTHING HAS CHANGED......!

    You know you are unique and one of a kind in several ways. You hi-jack threads to re-apply your ignorant questions upon people who have lived more than what you've ever read......NOTHING HAS CHANGED, AND YOU STILL INSULT OTHERS BY HI-JACKING, SAD SON SAD....!

    2ndly, you insists on being right, NOTHING has changed....!

    3rd- Your always asking others to do your Own Homework. If you don't know the answers to the Q's you ask, because you don't know the answers, then GOOGLE YOUR OWN HOMEWORK. IT'S IMPOLITE TO ASK OTHERS TO DO IT FOR YOU. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS TREND REVERSE ITSELF, SINCE YOU CAME ABOARD. SO PLEASE CHILL OUT.....and take the sucker out of your mouth when you talk, gibberish is NOT spoken here, and there is NO Dictionary for Gibberish.....NOTHING HAS CHANGED....!

    And because I thought (in response to your post) that the difference between Gardner stealing 20something bases instead of 30,40 something bases is not as important as him improving on his .327 (2014) OBP and .256 BA?

    Is this one of your issues? Sorry, I stand by it.

    once again, this Post is about Aaron Rodger's Humanitarian Heart, so don't Hi-Jack it......

    When you do as much, (HI-JACKING THREADS)......its like letting you in the door, so you can piss on our legs or furniture.....

    but then NOTHING HAS CHANGED....!!!

    Are you afraid of change or have a phobia over change, as well as you've got to be on the NO FLY lists, as all it seems you do anymore is HI-Jack, insult others intelligence, and bring up old threads onto new threads., Can you not see this Post is NOT About MLB OWNERS????????? Take a look at the Post name or create a new one for a forum you can argue with others, but then few if any would bother to read it....!!!

    People need to hear more about these kind of acts. Not all athletes are money hungry bastards. Rogers is living proof of that.

    Thanx again Rick, I guess some kids just never grow up, or simply don't comprehend common language. To sophisticated for the Hi-Jacker. I have ZERO respect for repeating broken records......!!!

    Amen Brother.....!

    Indeed in a age and era of Greed rules 1st, Rodgers is living proof he lives the other way around. With all those articles, I cannot say I've quit read so many articles or even heard as much of any one athlete doing so much for Kids, and anyone in need....! Amazing Guy.........

    I have not been to a Sports Memorabilia Show in a very long time, yet I'd go out of my way to get Rodgers John Hancock...!

    So you admit you can't, or are unwilling to provide (do YOUR homework) a similar remark,quote,comment from some other MLB owner comparable to Hank's.

    Hey Matt, I respect you're opinion but this is a two way street.

    ...I don't recall rick saying that...no one in their right mind would not want Gardner to get on base more often...than was never rick's contention, nor mine.
    ...rick simply pointed to the fact that when Gardner does get on base he turns into Rainman as far as being a base stealer. The frequency in which Gardner gets on base was never in question...the issue was that no matter how often he's on base, with his speed he could/should be a much better base stealer/runner.

    Your quickly making this a ONE WAY Street, with your disrespectful hi-jacking of posts which have nothing to do with your Q's.....

    and YES, You have always had a bad habit of asking others to do your own homework for you. Re-read the post. Then Google as much. I don't owe you any quotes, and believe it or not, I could write a Novel on how Veeck, Finley, Schatt, and numerous others lit up the other Owners, not just their bitter rivals alone, but the entirety of MLB.

    What do you think the Owners thought, when the shot down Finley's request to use a glow in the dark chartreuse baseball, and how do you think Finley responded, after more than a dozen run ins with the other Owners????

    I AGREE, Gardner is definitely too timid and just doesn't seem willing to go often enough. I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier in the thread but I did mention it later on.

    I like Gardy, fine young man, good hard nosed homegrown player. Excellent defender.
    Gosh darn it...I just wish he would use his speed as a LH hitter and get more bunt hits, be a consistently better hitter and his K totals the past two years are not good.

    Thanks for the input. I'm done! Okay? lol
