Funny timing that our old Pal Pete Abe dropped this today. These little invented exclusive “clubs” are amazing. Here is the same list if you add in either one of 3,000 hits or a .300+ career average... Paul Molitor |

Funny timing that our old Pal Pete Abe dropped this today.  Pete Abe and Johnny Damon. Both people I have had unpleasant online encounters with. Damon denied my video shout out request (and I didn't even make fun of his noodle arm.) Pete Abe threatened to sue me back in 2008 when he found out about this smiley:

What? Are you serious? Yup no joke. I don't have the email still but he was like "I heard you made some kind of cartoon of me. Just know that's its my likeness and I could potentially get lawyers involved" or something like that. Whacky stuff, man. |

That’s as bad as Francesa talking about possibly suing people who said they heard him fart on the radio. Good grief. |

Paul Molitor That’s also the same list you get if you leave the criteria the same but limit it to ball players who are decent humans. |

The one I never understood was, when I was 22 years old, I bought a house. After living in the house for about a year, we were not happy with it, and put the house on the market. We had mortgaged the house through a local bank. As soon as they found out we were selling it, they went to the courthouse and filed a judgement for the amount of the loan. This was done with us having good credit, never having missed a payment, never threatening to not pay for the house, listing the home for more than we had paid for it, and listing it with a well known real estate agent, and payments clean and up to date. All we wanted was to sell it and get another house... It pissed me off pretty bad... |

That was one classless mother that really tempted me. But I knew the suit-wearing puss would be calling the cops and suing me. Then to make it worse, his son married my bosses daughter and I wound up having to give him celebrity treatment in the store I worked in... Grrr. “Hi Duke. How can I kiss your ass today”?... God, do people still name their children Duke? I hope not... |

Kaybli! I had forgotten all about it, but back when I was on Prodigy they once brought a National baseball expert on for a guest appearance in which we (as members) were encouraged to ask him questions.
I don’t recall his name, but he was a big deal then. I think he still pops up here and there on air even though he’s probably over eighty now.
I had read a couple of his articles that were dated pretty close together.
*Note: Just recalled, it was Peter Gammons. Anyway, forgetting what the exact content was, but in one article he had praised A player for some element of his defensive play. In the other article he criticized the same element of the same player’s game.
So, I nicely quote the dates of the article and the comments in my sweetest style and then say, “So which one is it? It can’t be both ways”.
He then answers me that I need to be more “respectful” if I expect him to reply to me. Then I replied that he could “respectfully” closely inspect some rather remote portion of his body or another with his head. That I was an adult, not some whiny little snot that he had control of.
That remained up on the site for about a day and a half before they deleted it...Back then, the internet moved slowly on that old 286K computer. Hell, Prodigy was probably working off a similar mainframe...
I’m saying it was around 1985-6-7 ish...Does that qualify as an unpleasant online experience? I’m just wondering, because I kind of enjoyed it...
