Even though it ranks up there with things I loathe now, I actually was a huge fan of baseball as a kid. Before MJ & Sir Charles, Dale Murphy, Bob Horner & Ozzie Smith were my absolute sports heroes. Or I could’ve been drawn to following the sport just to get packs of baseball cards with the stick of gum inside. Either way, I do remember playing Little League quite well and recall that doing a “Pete Rose slide” was one of the best ways to show how tenacious you were.
Now, the Pete Rose shall be replaced with “the Brian Kownacki” aka the “leap the catcher, risking a neck fracture just to help insure your team’s comeback win.” That’s right, Fordham’s Brian Kownacki has now found his rightful place in history, replacing that degenerate Rose.

*yells*
“Jumpin’ Kownacki!”
nah…
“Bouncing Brian!”
uh-uh…
Too bad he doesn’t have a better nickname. He’d have a t-shirt or a walk-on on Letterman by next week. Oh well…
This will (and should) get nominated for an ESPY. And from then on, ol’ BK’ll be stuck bouncing around in AA ball for the next 7-8 years trying to live this one down before he ends up selling cars or insurance in the Midwest.
“Holy Kownacki!”
nope… still nuthin’.
*shuffles off*
“Jumpin’ Kownacki!” or “Bouncing Brian” works for me lol
Kamikaze Kownacki
wow that was awesome.
lmao @ Bob Horner.
i’m the same way (huge baseball fan when i was lil, couldn’t care less now).
Fordham’s in the Bronx fyi and why I don’t see this with the pros down the block? This would make baseball interesting but eff up alot of dudes careers with the injuries that go along with it.
when i stumbled upon this i figured it was going to be filled with useless advice, but actually it came out to be quite interesting. keep writing!
