And note the date on that. Martin, in an attempt to distract the media from this issue, engineered a terrorist attack less than two weeks later.

For anyone confused on the Al Martin discussion (if that’s possible), Martin probably had the biggest discrepancy possible, whether or not it made the media guide. I hope for comedy’s sake that it did.

I heard Al Martin would have won the Heisman if the CIA didn’t send him in to Russia to stop Communism.

Also I can’t hear his (Placido Polanco’s) name without thinking of Enrico Palazzo of The Naked Gun fame!

Me either. When the Tigers got him from the Phillies my first thought was “don’t they already have a tenor?”

don’t want this to sound too obnoxious, but the most interesting stuff people can find to post about is speculation about the inaccuracy of height and weight listings??

“Your task: find the most inaccurate player information. Most egregious examples of height and weight fudging win a year’s subscription to USSM. We will also award prizes for unanticipated categories (like the Julio Franco Memorial Age Gap).”

Re: # 12 (MSB) -

someone with a stash of media guides should see if he was 5′9″ in the 2001 guide, or if he grew just after he signed with the M’s

My stash goes back only to 2003.
In all of them, Ichiro goes 5′9″ and 172 pounds.

felix at 218? excellent!

21 – about the most fun you can have is finding those odd pairs of guys who weight the same but are drastically different in height, or vice versa…

Oakland’s Jerry Blevins is listed at 6′6, 175, making him the same weight as Ichiro but about 8 inches taller. Ummm, ok.
