Gator Still Wants That MVP

You’re so slick now, know every trick now.  You know I want it, I want it so bad.  You know I need it, I can’t believe it.  So come on baby, please relieve it.  -J Geils Band

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Remember Mike Greenwell?  The Gator?  Red Sox left fielder Mike Greenwell?  Runner up to Jose Canseco in the MVP voting back in ’88?  Well, he’s still pissed about it.  Greenie:  “I’ll tell you what he (Canseco) told me one time…I got my third hit in the game, I think it was a double and I ended up scoring.  I came in and I’m sitting down next to him and he says, ‘Dude, I wish I could hit like you.’  And I said, ‘Shoot, I wish I had your power…  Are you kidding me?’  He goes, ‘Well, you come down to Miami and I’ll be able to hook you up, but I’ll never be able to hit like you.’ He probably didn’t realize it, but that meant a lot to me.  It kind of always burned me that I lost [the MVP] to someone that I really suspected and later knew was doing steroids at that time.  It always bothered me.  That meant a lot that he said that to me because I said in my own head, ‘Well, I did it clean and you didn’t.’ That’s kind of how I looked at that.” 

That’s how I look at it too, Gator.  That’s how I look at it at too.
