Heres an excerpt

• When Blue Oyster Cult recorded "Don't Fear the Reaper," the producer said he wanted "more Sam Fuld."

 

• Superman wears Sam Fuld pajamas to bed.

 

• Sam Fuld once ordered a Whopper at a McDonald's drive-thru. When he got home, his order was correct.

 

• Seventy-five percent of the world is covered by water; the other 25 percent is covered by Sam Fuld.

 

• The Tampa Bay Rays have renamed their home stadium Tropicana Fuld.

 

• Sam Fuld has only been thrown out at home once. By Sam Fuld.

Wow I've never heard most of those.

 

Can't hate Fuld. Cubs never gave him a good enough shot (and I can't really disagree with them), so good for him. Plus he went to UNH and is from the town in NH I used to live in, so go Sam Fuld!

I won't hate Fuld. But it is interesting that usually a team gets power at the sacrifice of speed.

 

The Cubs sacrificed speed and still wound up with no power.

I enjoyed the Tropicana Fuld one

He is 0 for his last 18 so his 15 minutes might be winding down.

A second player the Cubs traded for Garza, Brandon Guyer, just got called up by the Rays.

and hit a HR in his first at bat......

[NCCubFan]

First player in Rays' history to do so.

First player in Rays' history to do so.

 

Nope, Esteban Yan did. And I actually knew that off the top of my head...

Right you are; I misunderstood what his accomplishment was. He's the first Rays' player to homer in his first at bat in his major league debut. Yan did homer in his first at bat, but it wasn't his major league debut.

Looks like the Sam Fuld haunting was a short lived experience. Now has a .625 OPS and 12 SB, but 5 CS. Of course, now Garza's hurt, but, whatever.
