2 Sam Horn questions....

sherman · Apr 8, 2005

Who's the Genius that gave Sam Horn a job on the NESN pre game?

Who's the Rocket Scientist that said "yeah bring him back, he did a great job last season"?

Does 1/2 the stuff he says make any grammatical sense? He tries to sneak in big words here and there but listen carefully, 1/2 the time he uses the wrong word....

You talking about Sam Horn the ex-Oriole who by most accounts was a huge bust?

I remember opening day around 1990 , big Sam hit two 3-run homers vs Kansas City, we thought we had something, we was wrong!

OMG that was Sam Horn. I watched the pregame as well and he is terrible. Don't forget all the umms he used in inbetween his sentences.

I hear ya...I used to go watch him when the Red Sox AA was in New Britain, and we thought he was the next great slugger!

sherman · Apr 8, 2005

Horn career

Good lord

Mickey Tettleton, Randy Milligan and Sam Horn on the same team. The all-u-can eat buffets around town must have cringed when those three came barreling through the door.

I was at The Sizzler in Woodlawn and met Milligan, he was a very nice guy..I remember he left the waitress 5 bucks.

Remember Mickey was on the "Fruitloops" ...they said he had to have Fruitloops before every game,lol..it became legend in Balto the year he had that career season.:digit: beats steroids

Milligan could draw a walk anytime he wanted... :suomi:

Sam Horn was also personable. We were out drinking at Gator's near Loyola college one night with Curt Shilling (he married a Towson St. student), Ben McDonald and Steve Finley. Quite the group.

I saw Brady and Finley in Bohagers on more then once occasion.

I like Sam

I have never had a problem with Sam Horn, either watching him play or listening to his opinions about the game. Not everyone with huge potential ends up being great in baseball, and frankly, I find him much easier to listen to than some of the many squirrel brains out there on the tube.
