Anyone remember the toolbox from San Francisco was a Giants fan until they traded away somebody and he sent a letter to all the teams saying "what will you give me to be your fan?"

For some odd reason, I remembered that today and couldn't find a thing about him on the internet.

I emailed him back in the day telling him a real fan wouldn't drop his team and he sent me a profanity laced response.

Anyone remember him?

Yea, he ended up choosing the Phillies after they wooed him. The Phillies proceeded to suck badly.

I didn't read the entire article, but I imagine this is what you are talking about.

Yep, that's him. What a douche! I guess I'm the only one that even gave him a second thought.
