It has to be Lou Merloni. Not only does he now play for the Padres, but he played college baseball for the Providence College Friars. And, in a little known Lou Merloni fact, he's from Framingham.
There is only one man left to save Vince McMahon and the WWF/E. Where have you gone Greg Gagne, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
If I am not mistaken, he just won a game for the Padres recently by laying down a nice bunt. (Can any Padres fans help me out here? Guru?). Also, it was reported here(in MA) that he called back to his former teammates (and the front office) about how happy he was to be in the National League.
And while I am at it, stop picking on Framingham, I spent alot of time there as a youngster(my Aunt lived there), it's a nice place. :)
Of course Framingham is a nice place. Lou Merloni is from it. I remember every one of those 9 homeruns he has hit. He was Nomar's best friend. Oh and he was also from Framingham.
Here's how I voted: P - Randy Jones, Ed Whitson, Kevin Brown c - Benito Santiago 1B- Fred McGriff 2B - Robbie Alomar 3B - Ken Caminiti SS - Garry Templeton OF - Tony Gwynn, Dave Winfield, Steve Finley Closer - Trevor Hoffman Manager - Bruce Bochy, although who can forget Jerry Coleman's dingle season on the bench.

Originally posted by Big BadOk, I'm not up on my Boston jokes......what's so funny about Lou Merloni?
He was a player who basically just wasn't that good. Then he whined because he thought Boston was making a mockery of his career by bouncing him between the minors and the Bosox. Ben Affleck also took some potshots at him.
Sweet, thanks for reminding me about the free preview. My roommates and I won't have the millions needed to buy the MLB Extra Innings Pass (after we got the NBA package this past season)
