WITH DON SOLLARS 3/7/02

Don Sollars.  How can you go wrong with a name like that?  If you would like to know more about that guy that gets mentioned in the Notes from under the blue hat column, read this!  He only played one game.  So he ranks right up there with Scott Krimm's brother in law!  Enjoy.


1.  So you're that one guy.  Honestly I don't even remember you.  Are you that big huge guy or the smaller one that didn't talk much?  Fill us in and let us know who the real Don is.

The real Don, that's a hard question to answer.  Well I am 6'9" about 315pds.  I am a manager at the Southfield Boston Market. I am a friend of Jasons, that's how I got to play. I also play  softball on Mondays, and i've been pumping iron regularly so this year I am looking to double my homerun mark.

2.  When were you first introduced to the team and what did you think?

I was first introduced to the team this summer by Jason, there was a few times I was told to bring my stuff because they needed guys, but I didnt' get to play so i was kind of pissed, but I got over it. I thought it was cool, but it sure did rain a lot.

3.  What past baseball experience do you have?

I played little league growing up and softball, but my sport is football, i played in high school and almost in college till I blew out my knee.

4.  On a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being a Barry Bonds and 10 being a Mark McGwire, rate the following ball players:

Jason Buntine=
15, he's a great ball player, and get s 5 extra credit points for being dead sexy.
Carl Buchin=
10, i don't know him but from what Jay says he seems like a cool guy
Mike Tyson=
1, anyone who eats children is  a sick bastard
Cecil Fielder=
10, but his son Prince is a 20.7
Cal Ripkin Sr.=
1 I hate all the ripkens, except billy who has that cuss word on his bat

5.  You don't have a Peetage profile or even a mention on the history page.  Although, you are mentioned every month in the Notes from under the blue hat article.  How do you feel about that?

I am a little upset but i only played one game so i understand....whoever put me on the notes is a A+ guy.

6.  Your stats are as follows.  You played 1 game, had 2 at bats, and have 1 hit.  A .500 batting average is pretty impressive.  So why is it that you have no Peetage awards?

Any old dick head can hit .500, expecially in only 2 at bats give me a full season and I'd be the MVP

7.  Finish these sentences:

The best thing about our website is

If I had one wish I would wish for

8.  Tell us a good story about any of the guys you know on the team.

Jason told me a story about how Casey doesn't like gum so one day Jays ex was chewing it so Casey drove home in the rain in the winter like a mad man with the windows rolled down. I never knew one man could like gum so much.

9.  Does Don like T & A?
