Went to a Chisox Spring game in Sarasota during Frank's peak

Got tickets right by first base to watch him. He was a massive man out there, easily the biggest major leaguer I've seen. Was very amiable with the fans, but the man who stole the show was none other than Dick Vitale, who for some reason was out on the field. Came over and talked to the fans forever. A little off subject, but believe it or not, one of the best fan interactions I've seen was none other than Ricky Henderson. I was in San Diego for work and went to see the Padres and Giants play. Bonds hit two of his historic HRs that game. Before the game, Rickey came over to the third base side and just chatted up all the fans close to the field. He also added to his SB record that day.

Eze does have a release clause, apparently.

Lol, probably.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/07/25 06:24 PM ET
I don't think he's a great fit there, though, TBH.

For whatever reason I have always considered the Wolves to be in that group

Looks like Spurs may be doing some shopping during the transfer window.
VTHokie2000 • 08/07/25 11:12 AM ET
I expect they'll buy one.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/07/25 11:13 AM ET
I would think so too. However, ManU has shown a willingness to loan high
