Happy Birthday, Lawrence Jones


I normally wouldn't care about what happens in a Marlins-Braves game (unless I'm checking HanRam's stats), but this may have been the funniest article I have ever read on ESPN (not counting anything on Page 2).

Some highlights:

"I always feel like I need to do something cool on my birthday," the third baseman said. "Hit a homer or have three hits. I would have taken either one, to be honest. Today, I got 'em both. It was awesome." -- What a tool.

"While Jones got everything from a Dale Earnhardt video box set to an autographed guitar from country stars Rascal Flatts..." -- Wow. They didn't mention the Confederate flag pickup truck given to him by Randy Johnson.


And apparently, Brian McCann hit a triple, with a slide described by Larry himself as "poetry in motion." McCann also commented, saying "I'm as slow as it looks."

Oh, and just because I found this...
