I looked at the rosters for the NW showcase, very few top D1 caliber 2009 names except for Michael Englund, James Robbins, and Brian Wolfe. I wonder if PG held this too late in the summer and players were too tired or had moved onto fall sport tryouts.

Boy, and I thought my kid had a unique name! So does Monster throw a Monster Ball? Does he wear Monster Dog sun glasses? If someone jacks him, is that a Monster Mash?

I saw video of this kid....at a tryout in L.A.....with the Doggers.......and Leo Durocher was there and....he threw so hard he bowled the catcher over...and.....oh, wait....sorry, that was Herman Munster.

Call me crazy, Julie, but I'm guessing that we're not the first, and certainly won't be the last, to go down this road!

I remember that episode with Herman Munster. It was hilarious. Man I loved that show. I also liked Gillagan's Island , BeWitched , I Dream of Genie and The Andy Griffith Show.
I always dreamed of being trapped on the Island with Ginger. Or trapped in the bottle with Genie. The Munsters was just funny. And Aunt B got on my nerves. Opie got on my nerves. Gomer I wanted to kick in the ***. But Barney was worth watching the show for.
I was a wrestler in high school. My first match was against a kid with the last name "Frankenstein". I was psyched out before the match began. When the whistle blew, he punched me in the nose and the blood began to flow. The next thing I knew, I was on the side of the mat getting smelling salts and gauze crammed up my nostrils. He then proceeded to put me in an illegal Full Nelson and pinned me.
Which is why I love baseball.

Krak, the National Enquirer recently ran an unconfirmed story about Mr. Monster. Some tongue-in-cheek facts:

(Whoops, I mean "snails"). Favorite Energy Drink: Dumb question. College major: Animation or Reanimation. Not sure. Fastball Goal: 120. Pitching Coach: Uncle Herman.
