Cleveland and Ohio treated us well!

Is Bonds humble like Wakefield and does he put the team first?
Listen to them both some time;I know which of the two types I would want my daughter to marry-it isn't too hard to figure out.

Why do you keep comparing Wakefield to the 2 worst guys in baseball? I never said he was as bad as Bonds or even mentioned him. If we use Bonds as the judging stick than everyone in baseball is a saint. It makes no sense why you feel the need to compare the 2. My story never talked about Bonds once!?

[wayne1218]

So what you are saying is that all Wakefield's good deeds were all done for show? If you think that, then you and I have a different view of human motivation.

Nope, i'm saying you meet the real man when the cameras are off, period!

Let me ask you a question Waynwe:
If you were a famous player,and every time you went out to have a quiet dinner for your wife and girlfriend, you were besieged by people hounding your table asking for autographs, wanting to chat, etc., then perhaps after a while you might get a little irritated;remember they are people first and have up and down days just like you and me.
I still think until proven otherwise until proven otherwise that Wakefield overall is more exemplary than the great majority of professional athletes.

savage how many times do i have to say this?

If i was having a bad day i would either not go out and be an asshole to people, or, do what alot of famous people do. Get a private table and go in and out a back door. I certainly wouldn't go to the F-ING M-all and tell everyone one that comes up to me to get lost.

Don't forget too that players as regular people differ in their personalties.
Damon loves all the attention, whereas Wakefield is a quiet reserved man;fans should respect that.

Savage, don't go to "Hollywood" unless you want to be a Star!

Well then he shouldn't go out in the m-all then!! If he is that reserved stay in his room. How many times does Wayne have to say this!!!

[savage1]

Players as people have a right to go to the ma ll even if they don't feel well. Who are you to dictate what a player should do or not do!
Did Wakefield use the actual words, "Get lost?" I kind of doubt it, and I would have to see what the fan said or did prior to that before I would make anything of it.
How would you feel if someone told you you can't/shouldn't go to the ma lltoday because you don't feel well?

[kbsooner21]

I'd like to see your thoughts if he didn't play for your beloved Red Sox!!

Mike Tyson is a nice guy on or off the camera.

Are you f-ing serious? You doubt he used those? Savage go back to bed than. I don't know what else to tell you. These people were in their 50's or 60's and didn't seemed like the lying type. You have your Red Sox glasses on and you are about as unbiased a person i have ever talked to. You were not even there, i was. Keep thinking the way you do because i'm not going or even trying to change that but don't disrespect the facts of what happened savage. If you think he's a great guy than so be it but don't start acting like i'm making the shit up either.

[savage1]

KBsooner-Based on his verified charity work and what he has done for children, I would say that he is still a wonderful, humble and unselfish person who has given back something to the community!

EXACTLY!

And i'm a Sox fan.

Unless you have met him i wouldn't say unselfish. Get a clue or know something besides what you see on T.V. before thinking you know a player so well.

[savage1]

Wayne-if someone said that you were mean to him on one given day, would it be right ot make a sweeping generalization that you were no good even though you had done all kind of work for disadvantaged children and given freely of your time for charity over 8 years or so.
What says more?
If you say the the first thing, then there is no point in continuing this.
