It doesn't matter if it takes some crying to the press box for giving him an error or having a temper tantrum in the dugout. Twice this [read more...]

Crede's Secret

Flintstones Gummy Vitamins; could they be the secret to the 124 career home runs and 416 career RBIs for Chicago White Sox third baseman Joe Crede? Crede said he's a "Centrum man", yet three bottles of these gummy vitamins remain in his locker. No matter what the secret is, it must be working.
