Welcome Back Kapler
By Karlsie
Last night, Gabe "the babe" Kapler, one of Heeb Magazine's top 100 Jews, returned to Boston.
I had just missed him in Lowell - as I had tickets to last Saturday's game, the day he debuted in Pawtucket on the accelerated spring training tour. I didn't have a chance to catch the PawSox this week, so I had to wait.
Oh and it was worth the wait. Tonight he was hot (and I'm not just talking about filling out those tight white pants) going 2 for 4 and scoring two runs as well as doing a great job outstanding in Nixon's field.
So let me say: Welcome back from your Japanese vacation, we missed you. To be honest, your Japanese in that ad… well, it left a bit to be desired. (Of course, if you brought me back one of those cute Yomiuri Giants bunny mascot shirts, I promise I won't make fun your accent. I am not proud, I can be bribed.)
Once you get everything out of storage and you're settled back in, maybe you and Johnny O can work a deal on the numbers the way Wells and Renteria did. (Speaking of which - did anyone ever find out how much Wells paid for #16?) Even if you stick with 44, I can cope - I'm just happy you're home.
