Viagra … don’t call it a comeback

Will the award grow in stature over time?

"Who will win the 2005 MLB® Comeback Player of the Year Award Presented by Viagra (sildenafil citrate)?

Viagra (sildenafil citrate) and Major League Baseball (MLB) are teaming up to recognize the greatest comeback players in the sport — those baseball heroes who have reemerged as stars on the baseball field."

========================================

They tried to award it to Griffey in each of the last three years, but each time … it turned out to be a bit "premature".

Scoring down at Coors? What about at Busch?

Less scoring at Coors??? Does Congress know?

"Coors Field has played from the day it opened as though it was filled with helium, with infield popups floating into the gaps for doubles and lazy flyballs drifting over the wall for homers.

Now it seems like some of that Mile High air is leaking out.

Whether it’s due to Colorado’s young lineup, good pitching — by opponents, at least — or the humidor has finally started to kick in after three years, scoring is way down this season."
===========================================
Or the random drug testing has been extended to humidors too …

The grounds crew might get confused

Actual caption:

"Security officials arrest a man who ran onto Safeco Field in Seattle during a game between the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2005. The man scattered a powdery substance from the cup at lower left as he ran on the field and carried a sign that appearantly listed the birth and death dates of a woman. The back of the sign read in part "ashes to ashes."

==============================

If you look carefully, the sign he was carrying shows a birthdate of 8/31/42, meaning this guy apparently decided to mark what would have been the woman’s 63rd birthday by (perhaps) sprinkling her ashes on the field …

O-kay ….
