Usually, my posts are timely in fashion, so you'd probably think that a post titled "The Importance of Voting" would appear around Election Day.
However, since I'll be on a beach somewhere in St. Lucia this Election Day (giggidy), I'm going to post this one prematurely.
For those of you who don't know, the gangster looking dude on the left is Tom Schweitzer, one of my college roommates.
Tom; and Jimbo's reaction to Thug Tom.
At a recent Yankee game, Tom decided he would fill in a All-Star Game Voting Ballot, because like any good flag thumpin' American, he understands the importance of voting.
Except, like anyone who's ever been in a voting booth, Tom didn't necessarily pick the best candidate for the job. Actually, in the following two examples, Tom probably picked the worst two candidates on his ballot:
Tom has a special place in his heart for Adam Kennedy; he drafted him once in a Quinnipiac League Fantasy baseball draft. With his fifth pick; thirty fifth overall. Just to put that into perspective, Tom drafted the world's crappiest second baseman ahead of the following (but not limited to) players:
1. Ichiro
2. Manny Ramirez
3. Torri Hunter
4. CC Sabathia
5. Gary Sheffield
6. Roy Halladay
7. Roy Oswalt
8. Chipper Jones
9. Mariano Rivera
10. Ken Griffey Jr
So this photo represents Tom's battle with a "Hanging Chad". He swears he didn't vote for John Buck, Toronto's catcher (previously released by the Kansas City Powerhouse Royals) and that it was an obvious mistake. So obvious was the mistake, that no other hole-punch on the AL catcher list had a smudge of a pencil mark on it.
