What was Denny Hocking thinking?
Page 2 staff
What was Twins infielder Denny Hocking thinking when he injured his finger during the team's celebration following their victory in Oakland? (Hocking,
who caught the final out of the game, will not be able to play in the ALCS because of his broken finger.)A. "It's tragic that I injured the middle finger on my throwing hand. How am I going to gesture to Bud Selig now?"
B. "Why couldn't we have just gone out for ice cream like we did in Little League?"
Eleven years without a playoff series win made for a rowdy rough-housin' celebration in Minnesota.
C. "How will my teammates survive without my .323 slugging percentage?"
D. "This doesn't affect my bonus if we win it all, right?"
E. "Great. One more arguement for Selig that Minnesota can't handle having a team."
F. "Yes, it's true. I'm the long lost Gramatica brother."
