Kenny's Thinnies

UngratefulDead · 05-02-2005, 11:26 AM

As the counterpoint to the Sheep's thread, here will we try to assemble the best, skinnest baseball players of all time. They will be lead by player manager Kenny Lofton.

A couple submissions

Luis Gonzalez:

Shawn Green:

You should have gone with player-manager Minnie Minoso for Minnie's Thinnies. Or Minnie's Skinnies.

Grrr.. when going through names I even stopped on Minnie but somehow couldn't think of Minoso. And the thread title was supposed to be Skinnies. Oh well, still works.

It's barely a contest, at least among the pitchers:

Couple outfielders:

If my guess is right, that's Kent Tekulve (sp). Him and Dan Quisenberry were the 2 submariners that I remember from my days growing up.

Green & Gold Heart · 05-02-2005, 12:57 PM

Based on height/weight, I bet it's this guy:

You got it. "Teek" was one of my favorite pitchers because of his throwing motion. When he threw the ball it looked like someone was bending a pipe cleaner. He also looked like such a complete dork, which definitely made it easier for me to pretend I was him on the mound.

Kent Tekulve gets a nomination to be on the Ugliest roster.

Green & Gold Heart · 05-02-2005, 01:41 PM

Ichiro!
