FilteringCraig Someone will have to tell Mark Grace the bad news that Kevin Youkilis ripped off his "Slump-Buster" gimmick. I am pretty sure that Gracey brought this thing into the mainstream first on the Jim Rome radio show. -
dmothe30 Oh, Gracey definitely did. NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd even noted that in the column I linked to in this entry.

... Come on now, that press release ain't fooling ANYONE. I'm curious to see how the hip and happening MLB officials and front office types are going to react to this - because that crowd is totally known for being laid back about this sort of thing.

... by way of Red Sox Monster , we learn this morning that Kevin Youkilis has signed on to endorse a new energy drink called Slumpbuster. In the interest of not offending our female fan(s), I'll not delve too deeply into the etymology of that particular label. A simple Google search of 'Mark Grace' +slumpbuster should suffice.
