[JohnKleeb]

[3days]

1. And the Seattle fans showing some true class with a standing ovation

[JohnKleeb]

2. an elite 4 there wouldnt you say

Yeah the Seattle fans have impressed and amused me with how theyve been rooting for him, they actually booed their hometown pitcher for walking him, I wanted him to do it at home but nonetheless I am happy.

3. He also scored!

Hall of Famer!

[JohnKleeb]

4. No doubt about it

Hes also one of the most underrated players in our times in my opinion.

5. Wish he did it agaisnt my team

The way he was tearing it up in that Boston series last weekend, I thought he might do it against us. Would have been neat to see since I have never witnessed a 3,000th hit live. You guys killed us in the series anyways.

On another note, it sure is nice to beat the Yankees 17-1 for the second time this season. Heh Heh

[JohnKleeb]

8. I wanted it to be against you guys since it would have been at home

Yeah I was happy to see that even though I wanted the Yanks to win for pure stragetic reasons, I still laughed like a schoolgirl when I saw it.

6. he just had to do it against the Mariners

[JohnKleeb]

7. Well hes a Mariner killer

And your fans there seemed cool with it, I remember seeing or whatever Ripkens number 3000, the Twins fans gave him a standing O.

[JohnKleeb]

9. Sosa in number two spot experiment appears to be working well

Hes 3-5 today.

[JohnKleeb]

10. Victory, yesssssssss

11. remarkable achievement . . .

puts him in elite company with only four others with 3000 hits and 500 homers (Mays and Aaron are two, I forget the others) . . . should guarantee him a first ballot selection to the Hall of Fame . . . congrats to Raffy and to the Orioles . . .

[JohnKleeb]

12. The other is Eddie Murray

The other amazing thing is that they were teammates with the Orioles in 96.
