What The Heck Todd??

[utvolpj]

"ON HAVING PLAYED AMATEUR BASEBALL IN CUBA IN 1993 The Cuban fans sing, they clap, they live and die for baseball. It's like European soccer. The only thing you could compare it with here would be Alabama football. " :dunno:


Direct quote from Todd Helton. Link

Naw, he meant the fans clapped and sang and reminded him of the bammer fans because most didn't have teeth or speak English :blink:

Short Stay? Wasn't he in K-Town for about 21 years? I think he was a native of Knoxville.

:shakehead: meant while he was at UT

 

[gunner]

Yea,

Helton lived in Knoxville most of his life, he was born and raised there. He graduated from Knox Central High School. I think he still has a home in Knoxville.

Gunner

[General Jack]

There, that proves it. I always thought he was more focused on baseball while he was here...

:lolup: Helton? that one usualy slips my mind when thinking of great UT players..wonder why?

 

[GAVol]

Say what you want about Helton&#39;s football skills, but he helped stop the bleeding in &#39;94 while Peyton Manning was being broken in.
.
All in all, I think he made the right career choice

 

[General Jack]

Yes, he made the right career choice, but come on, citing Alabama as the best representation of obsessed fans... Maybe he didn&#39;t mean it as a compliment?

 

[GAVol]

Keep in mind, he&#39;s talking about playing in front of poor people who have nothing to live for because they live in a backwards, underdeveloped country.

Sounds like the perfect time to use an Alabama analogy to me.

That&#39;s what I thought too.

 

[checkerboard_charly]

maybe he was mis-quoted. or means something subliminally.

surely he isnt a bama fan though.
