Alamo! Maybe he was auditioning to be a backup guitarist in Green Day.
And now he's thinking about Bolinas... what a match!

BTW, I found an article on CBS.com about the RB signing that had this little roffle in the last paragraph:
"The Nationals also announced that director of player development Andy Dunn resigned. Assistant general manager Bob Boone and other members of the baseball operations staff will take over Dunn's duties for the time being."

You mean like the entire heart of the Cardinals line-up during the 2004 World Series OH SNAP!
To be fair, he was hitting the snot out of the ball in the AL prior to the trade. Guess the switch to the NL effed up his mojo.

When I briefly wrote for a Toronto baseball publication called *Innings* in the mid-'80s, Bobby Valentine was the only manager (or player) I ever interviewed. Got about three minutes with him on the field at old Exhibition Stadium. I don't remember the wording, but one question went something like this: "Seeing as you were someone who spent a lot of your playing career never quite breaking into the everyday lineup, do you think you have special empathy as a manager for those kinds of players?" (I don't remember the relevance...Texas may have had a few journeymen at the time.) It's pretty funny to think about it now--I think I actually thought he'd respond well to such a question. ("That's a really good point...") What I got was a hateful glare and about a three-word answer.

He did get 400+ PAs twice, both before and after the gruesome leg injury.

I do think that the 2000 Mets using 10 different leadoff hitters is a nifty factoid.

My current guess for Bobby V's return to ESPN: June 2013.

I'll try to dig it up tonight--I think it was a very terse "No, not true," or something like that.
