You keep seeing names getting marked off and marked off the lineup card and eventually it gets down to the last guy on the totem pole. I was near the bottom. We were running out of bodies on the bench. It came down to the last man standing.
"Geoffrey Edward Blum" is an United States/American former professional baseball infielder in Major League Baseball and current part time announcer for the Houston Astros. During his major-league career, he played for the Montreal Expos, Houston Astros, Tampa Bay Rays/Tampa Bay Devil Rays, San Diego Padres, Chicago White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks.

More Geoff Blum on Wikipedia.You heard things, and everyone has reputations and they might have rubbed some people the wrong way. Everyone has their own quirks, but you want to play with a guy who's competitive and will do what it takes to win games. He's definitely one of those guys.
Bags and Biggio. Anybody who stays with one team that long and puts that kind of investment into a city deserves to represent that city and that team in the World Series.

A.J. fits that whole line about judging a book by its cover. You look on the outside and see some of the things he's doing on the field that maybe you don't think are appropriate. But once you get to know him, he's a fierce competitor and, at times, maybe not your best qualities come out when you're trying to win.
Those are golden opportunities. A strikeout right there would have been better than what I did.
