Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em!
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
LOL. And how did he get his nickname Hammer?
Bruce with a one out single. His earlier sac fly was a homer in GAb.
I'm guessing that his favorite player was Hank Aaron?

Nope. Finley thought the teenager resembled young Hank Aaron so he started calling him Hammer. When Stanley later started recording he kept the nickname as MC Hammer.
Janish down. 2 out.
I figured it had something to do with Aaron.

Stanley's older brother Louis was best friends with Rickey Henderson, that's how Finley met Stanley. He liked the kid and made him his personal assistant. For a couple seasons when Charley was out of town Stanley would sit in Finley's box and relay phoned in orders to the manager. Play so and so. Pinch run Washington now. It drove the manager and players crazy.
Bako fans. 3 down
Darn that looney.

Klu, I'd give you half credit for that.
But I'm an easy grader!
