GAME 7 "HEROICS"

As a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, it's been a tough past week.  I haven't really talked about it.  I have, however been trying to find something that can make the hurting stop.

After posting the last home run fail by 朱鴻森 I was told about more greatness from the same source. 

This time back track to the year 2009, game 7 of the CPBL Championships.

Here is the run down

With his team down by three in the top of the eighth and looking at a 1 and 2 count, Mr.朱 took a little too much time practicing his cut outside the box and the home plate umpire said "play ball" (or some equivalent in  Mandarin).  Let's just say 朱鴻森 wasn't quite ready for the pitch.




I have also been told that Mr. 朱 was later kicked off the team. 
The reason for the banishment explained by my fiance (she's local)


"Because the bad people tell him to lose the game. It's illegal in Taiwan.  You don't know?"

Apparently there was a bad game fixing scandal that rocked the 4 team league and almost caused the it to fold.  It really looks like he could have found a better way to throw a game, but that's just me.

Thanks again to Andy Shen for his great memory

Josh Inglis is a bald 30 year old man who hit his first home run at the age of 28.  He is currently in his prime.
