I just wish we had a dignified nickname for him. The Big Dumper is so silly--and during the All-Star-Game radio broadcast, alert listeners learned that the nickname was originally bestowed by Jared Kelenic, which is reason enough to expunge it. Okay, I realize that it is never going to go away, but can we come up with another one for mature adults to use? Babe Ruth had more than one nickname. ("Babe" was his first one. )
YES! EXACTLY! And, so much more. This is what baseball should be, showing the BEST of us, the DREAMS we have, teamwork, love and doing your best for your city, your team, your family, for the love of the game. Damn good read. I needed these tears before the second half starts...

Well there's just Dumper, Dumpy, etc.
But lol, I get you. I will see, the Honey Bucket sponsorship may be a bridge too far for me. He needs a cake-related deal.
Exactly. Honey Bucket? What's next? Charmin? Roto Rooter? Preparation H? Maybe he displaces Marshawn on the Beacon Plumbing spots.
I’m campaigning for “The Great Bumbino”
