I was on the Expos board quite a bit as I was big following Felipe Alou.
I believe in his way of baseball and still do. He was a great manager
and never recieved the credit he should have.
I live in Columbus, which now has the AAA team of the Expos/Nationals,
the Columbus Clippers. That is a really good thing, I say... as it means
we no longer have to root for any Yankee farmhands which I hardly
ever did.. save for Jeter, Cabrera, J T Snow, and Nick Johnson who is
of course a National, and is my favorite all time Clipper.
About 4 years ago, Nick J. played in the futures game in Seattle on Monday,
then played in Denver in the AAA All Star team on Wednesday, and
then on Thursday night came back to Columbus, where he played in a
DH.. hitting 2 HR's, 2 doubles, going 6 for 8 and had 10 RBI.
He was/is truly a pure hitter. I hope he comes back full steam in 07, and
sets the national league on fire.
