Elvis's Everywhere

Frayed Knot Oct 29 2010 07:16 AM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Oct 29 2010 01:55 PM

The FOX team made a big deal about Texas SS Elvis Andrus being the first 'Elvis' to appear in the major leagues. Andrus himself had apparently asked them to check that out for him. Well, you NY Mets are trying their best to keep him company: Elvis Sanchez, a power-hitting third baseman from the Dominican Republic, has signed with the Mets. Sanchez, 16, is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound righthanded hitter from La Romana who stands out for his power and arm strength. The countdown to when some FAN caller suggests trading Wright because we have his replacement will start soon. And now, for your listening enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_hkIN38qnY

Elvis is in everybody out there. Everybody's got Elvis in them! Everybody except one person that is... Yeah, one person! The evil opposite of Elvis. The Anti-Elvis Anti-Elvis got no Elvis in 'em, lemme tell ya. Thomas Michael Glavine has no Elvis in him.

What about Presley? Or, for that matter, Costello?

Then there was former NYM #1 Kirk Presley from Tupelo Mississippi. Supposedly was a 3rd cousin to 'The King'

I searched in vain for a photo of Elvis Presley in a baseball uniform.

a power-hitting third baseman ......, has signed with the Mets. Sanchez, 16, is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound righthanded hitter A third baseman sixteen years old and that size already? I'm not sure if he's the replacement for David Wright, but they may have the replacement for Butch Huskey. Later

The most Metly Elvis to date is Elvis Cruz, an outfielder who spent three seasons in the Mets system and made it as far as Savannah in 2007.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd have gone with Cash instead of Orbison in left-- the paths Roy takes to the ball make me... a little uncomfortable.

The game account is all yellowed, but it seems to be saying Johnny failed a drug test and was serving a brief suspension. Eddie Cochrane was still recovering from his broken leg. Phillips just slotted Vincent into his two-hole even though he hit like shit.

Probably blinded by his speed-- boy could Race with the Devil.
