I Thought You Were the Batboy
About 3/4 of the way through the season, when I got the message that Johnny Jones was injured and day-to-day for 4 days, my first thought was ... "Who?" I'd never heard of the guy before. He wasn't in my lineup or on my depth chart. But he was on my active roster - no doubt, hiding out behind the lockers anytime a coach walked by. Somehow, I forgot to demote him after Spring Training (oops) and he'd been slinking around the clubhouse ever since trying not to be noticed. He did somehow manage to get into four games before getting injured. If he hadn't hurt himself, he might have made it through the whole season...

Ha! I see that he tried the same trick of hiding out in the clubhouse when he was with Cincinnati in '25. Also, he's not too happy about his batboy role on the team...
