Returned 2004 World Series Ball: 'Doug Mientkiewicz Physically And Mentally Abused Me'
Thanks to TD for the link.
Maybe this ball should be put back in play--against the middle of the Twins batting order. That should put an end to any complaints about physical abuse. . . . .

Posted by: ForMorneau at April 28, 2006 11:21 PMAh, but Dougie learned some magic tricks from former teamate Cuddy. Do you really think that's the ball? Muhahahahaha!

Posted by: LaurieNY at April 29, 2006 09:42 AMThe writer was clearly following the "i before e" rule that I learned early in life. Namely, if you aren't sure which comes first, just kind of alternate back and forth every other time or so that you use the word.

Posted by: Kurtis at April 29, 2006 10:48 AMI'm with Kurtis - that ball is just trying to make some quick cash before it heads in to the hall. Opportunistic jerk. Leave Doug alone - he's a good clean wholesome boy with a family.
Besides, you have to expect to be roughed up a little bit when you're playing in the bigs. If that ball didn't want that sort of treatment, it should have stayed in the minors. Be careful what you wish for ballie - sometimes you get it.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
