Hackety Hack Hack
Mazz mails in a particularly hacktastic effort today in the Herald.
A year ago at this time, Mark Bellhorn [stats, news] was coming off a season in which he batted .236 (with two home runs) for the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs [stats, schedule].
Now Bellhorn is the starting second baseman on the reigning world champions and will earn a base salary of $2.75 million. Nice country, eh?
Even more incredibly, there appears no threat to challenge Bellhorn for his job.
And most incredibly, a well-known local writer with the privilige of covering the Boston Nine hasn’t the faintest idea that they employed the American League’s best 2nd Baseman in 2004.
Christ.
