That'll definitely draw a crowd. I wonder if he'll do his trademark sliding fist pump down the first base line?

As long as he doesn't pull a Robbie Fowler he'll be ok.

I just want to see video of him breaking up a double play, those poor middle infielders.

Are you going to make us Google Robbie Fowler now? lol

"Fleury, who now runs a concrete sealing business in Calgary, said he was a pretty good player when he was 14 and playing in Manitoba with the Birtle Blue Jays."

Really? Its come to that now? Running a concrete sealing business? At one point, not all that long ago even, he was one of the best players the game, and a fan favorite. He should have SOME money left over, but I guess most of it went up his nose... or shooting through his veins. Poor bastard.

From Wikipedia -

"In 1999, Fowler was fined £60,000 by his club for bringing the game into disrepute after he had mimed twice snorting cocaine off the white line of the penalty area while celebrating his goal against Everton.[7] Defending himself, he said that he was getting back at Everton fans who had insulted him with false accusations of drug abuse. Fowler received a four match suspension from the FA for this incident. At the same FA disciplinary hearing, Fowler received a further two match suspension due to a separate incident in which he had homophobically taunted the Chelsea defender Graeme Le Saux by waving his backside at him as Le Saux's wife and children watched from the stands. The FA imposed a £32,000 fine for the two incidents.[17]"

Apparantly the Calgary Vipers will do anything to get into the news? Trade a player for 10 bats, now sign Theo Fleury to a try out? I didn't even know the Golden League existed until last week.

Nice. This one shows the base hit...running the bases and his outfield catch.

Wow, cut the guy some slack. He had problems and he did something about it. People make mistakes. It was on TV, he and his brother or father(not 100% sure) own the business together, so I am sure he has some money around!

Thought you said MSH was stuck-up and to close your chef_ducky account?
