Or the career. Dude's 37 years old and hitting .174. But when he was great, he was great.
Sure fire HOF'er until Alex Cintron got done with him.
I think it started with Hee Sop Choi (don't remember the cintron incident though)
No, Alex Cintron collided with Rolen in
a 2002 NLDS game.
Then in 2005 he tore that same shoulder in the collision with Choi. Terrible, terrible luck for one of the greats of his generation.

The MV3 in 2004 was terrifying. I remember that game against the Cubs, the one where Rolen hit the home run and Zambrano threw at Edmonds--Rolen comes to bat and he digs in against Z and gives him that stare and I thought "He's going to hit a home run." And he did.

Perez rips Indians fans for booing and poor attendance
Indians closer Chris Perez has choice words for Tribe fans in clubhouse after the game.
Perez rips fans for not showing up and for booing him during his last outing two days ago against Mariners.
Perez says one of the reasons free agents don't want to sign with Cleveland is because of lack of fan support.
Perez cited Beltran choosing to sign with Cards as an example of players not wanting to come to Cleveland. Said it definitely is a factor

He then went on twitter and said he'd give away 3 tickets each home game by way of trivia contests. Dude is pretty slick.
