From BatReader, Boston resident, and blogger Jeremy Wahlman:
At yesterday's Red Sox game here in Boston (the first at home since the big Dougie trade), he was announced as "Dave Mientkiewicz," before the PA announcer corrected himself, saying "That's Doug--Doug Mientkiewicz." Apparently quite a few Sox players got a good laugh out of this. And for his part, Dougie/Davey waved his cap to the fans.Posted by Batgirl at August 10, 2004 01:46 PM
Or maybe the PA announcer was trying to make Doug feel at home by channeling Bob Casey's trademark mis-namings (Jesse Offerman, Rich Aguilera, etc...)
Ok, probably not.
