    I'll never forget my little brother and I waited for three hours after a Braves game for Andruw Jones. He wanted his autograph. Andrew Jones just came out and said no autograph no autograph. John Rocker saw this happen and was disgusted. He spent the next 45 minutes show on my brother had a throw different pitches and talking about baseball. He saved the day.

    As a man. Rocker spoke like a man. The look of arrogance on his face when he shut that inning down. Beauty

    Was not even a Braves fan but have to admit I loved the guy. He wore his emotions on his sleeve and spoke his mind .... and he could pitch like hell. Not everyone liked his opinions but he had the balls to go head to head with New York City and stared them down and held his own. Baseball needs more John Rockers in their ranks today.

    Rocker was a stallion. If he pitched today he’d be topping out at about 117mph.

    Love that little smile rocker gives to the fans of new york after he perfectly described their state beforehand. I would have done the same thing. All rocker said is what most Americans think but are afraid to say

      @@rosstrent1877 Because language is more than a sound people make, libtard. It's a cultural unifier. I don't want the United States to become Yugoslavia. If the whole "diversity is strength" mantra were true, the USSR would still exist, India and Pakistan would still be one country, and Czechs and Slovaks would be singing kumbaya. Going down the road of balkanization is a disaster--learn from history and stop being so ignorant.
