 Sabo Awards - Juan Samuel, Steve Sax, and Tom Henke
Sabo Awards - Juan Samuel, Steve Sax, and Tom Henke
Samuel was a free swinging nut. Sax put fear in the hears of.... his teammates. Henke was a man who just had to prove his greatness. The “Sabo Awards” are simply for those players who invoke fond memories. They are likely not to be the best players of their era, or even a given year, but should still bring a smile to your face.

Jays Have Entire Night to Think of New Ways to Break Our Hearts
Mediocre headcase (who happens to be leading the AL in strikeouts) that is always hurt (yet is 7th in the AL in innings pitched this season and has started 5 times in 19 days) AJ Burnett was delivered another cosmic screwjob. He looked great, striking out the side in the bottom of 5 looked strong after six innings.

He participated in All-Star Home Run Derby, became the first rookie with an all-star game RBI since 1962, appeared on HBO’s Costas Now, received a congratulatory bottle of champagne from a famous actress of the same last name (Eva Longoria), and hit his first career grand ...

Tropicana Field figures to be rocking half-full and lifeless for this division "rivalry". Important-with-a-small-I might still be an overstatement, but the Rays youthful roster and rich history of embarrassment combined with their current 7 game losing streak ...
