I once saw a guy hanging around Wrigleyville with a tattoo of that. Had to salute him.

Yeah, and it wasn't even the most artistic depiction of the kerfuffle, so that pretty much tells you all you need to know about that guy. Still, he deserved to be celebrated on that day.

Im too dumb to add photos on here. Anyways, I saw Daniel Descalso at a AAA game here in town a couple of weeks ago. Iowa Cubs came up to play the Saint Paul Saints. I didnt realize Descalso is in the Twins org now.

I enjoyed that article. It's fun reading about what it's like when they encounter each other on the playing field.
