Heroes

By Tangotiger, 02:40 PM

Poz’s hero as a 10 year old (and for life):

This week, as mentioned, the Poscast is with Duane Kuiper. Among the many great bits her shared was this: Duane is almost certainly the only player of recent vintage, probably ever, to seriously consider failing a physical so that he could stay in Cleveland. He is, undoubtedly, the only person to get married in Hawaii and honeymoon in Cleveland. He is also the greatest guy in the world; there’s no better feeling than having your hero live up to all your expectations and go beyond.
