-- JT doesn't wear socks unless he has to (i.e. uniform). - Jack Snow Sr said on 12/1/02 vs. PHI Eagles -- As '93 rookie, J.T. got the league's attention by smacking two hits in 10 of his first 15 games, including 6 homers -- Haha: A Good Laugh and recreation of good luck (on the back of the 1996Tops #263): After a breakthrough season in which he hit 24 home runs with 102 RBI in 1995, J.T. struggled in the early going last year. So in May, when the Angels visited Oakland Coliseum (undergoing renovation at the time) he concocted a plan to change is luck. During batting practice Snow approached construction workers who were installing seats beyond the right field fence, and asked them to bury his bat in the concrete. In exchange for two autographed balls, they complied. That night J.T. hit his first home run of the season .... to right field! |
