A Belated Tribute to Mike

From your ArtistFormerlyKnownasPrince facial hair stylings, your love of heavy metal, playboy bunny "beard" wives, and pseudo-intellectual political conservativism, to your "I'm Not Gay" press conference and chase of Moto ("hello,Moto") in the Dodgers spring training clubhouse, you were a class act, Mike, and we'll miss you! Sure, you never won me a world series, and we had our differences, but we'll both always have our hatred of Rodger Clemens (but at least I'd kick the living sh*t out of him if he threw a ball or bat at my head.) You are a true Met, Mike.

Thanks for the memories! And best of luck with the Blue Jays in 2006!
