It’s safe to assume he cannot. I just looked at [baseballreference.com](http://baseballreference.com) and he’s not listed.

He played a couple of seasons in double-A, but had to retire because of wrist injuries. He’s now [coaching little league.](http://www.catholicsupply.com/christmas/sports.html)

Naw, I think “Prosletyzing Faithbaiters” was the coolest band name in this thread.

Had one recently in GD, actually. Not bot-spamming, but looking for a creationist fight. And atheist drivebys are quite common on religious boards.

If the OP returned to defend his/her views, it certainly doesn’t count as an instance of “drive-by atheists crossposting secular humanist witness-spam”. I said “drive-by” and “spam” for a reason, I was referring to those people that pollute the board with a witnessing post and never intend to return to answer responses.

“Looking for a fight” accurately describes many (most?) valid debates in GD, nothing wrong with that.

I have to go with HSFJ-have you seen those uniforms? Plus, the PFs could never argue a call with the Umpire-they’re conditioned to being poked repeatedly in the chest while hearing, “Get offa my fuckin’ porch.”
