Members Of Congress Speak Like High School Sophomores
Baseball is a game steeped in history. It's a game obsessed with the record books and the men who rewrote them. Just don't tell any of that to Julian Tavarez. Dude has no idea who the hell Ernie Banks is.Not long after the Red Sox's game against the Tigers was postponed because of rain Wednesday, Tavarez was predicting October baseball for the Red Sox and extolling the virtues of doubleheaders -- even if he's never heard of Mr. "Let's play two", aka Mr. Cub.Yes, he was a good guy, Julian. He was also one of the greatest players to ever set foot on a baseball field. Jeez man, ever heard of Wikipedia?
"I don't know who Ernie Banks is, but I hope he was a good guy," Tavarez said. "I'm like him, I hope."
And it's not like Tavarez is a youngster or anything; the guy's been in the big leagues for 15 years, and he even pitched for the Cubs in 1993. Not to get all preachy, but shouldn't baseball players at least have a rudimentary understanding of the game's history? Call me crazy.
