SSH2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines A.J. Pierzynski got an assist Sunday from Johnny Damon. The White Sox catcher was serving as manager for the team of Dale Torborg, Chris Sabin and Sonjay Dutt in a six-man match at TNA Wrestling's "Turning Point" pay-per-view event in Orlando. When it looked desperate for his guys, Pierzynski was handed a home plate by Damon, who was sitting in the front row along with the Sox's Chris Widger and Brian Anderson. Pierzynski whacked Simon Diamond over the head with the plate en route to the win. "I was a lot more nervous doing this than I was in the World Series -- way, way, way more nervous," Pierzynski said. "These guys are great athletes. They're amazing at what they do, so it was nerve-racking." Damon had no problem siding with Pierzynski, though the White Sox eliminated Boston from the playoffs. "He looked awesome in the ring," Damon said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Sounds ridiculously hilarious. Does Damon carry a home plate around with him everywhere he goes? Anybody got a clip?

Anybody got a clip? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm also hoping that someone posts a video. Orangekrush88 seems to be the big wrestling fan of the site. He posted the video of Pierzynski's debut in TNA here: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...pic=44002&st=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 On a side note, looks like Anderson seems to be fitting in. Welcome to the show Brian. I'm pretty sure you didn't envision going to a pro wrestling thing with two catchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinningUgly85 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) I used to be a wrestling fan. I am a big fan of Hulk Hogan. I was at the bar when on the news a few days ago they had shown footage of A.J. knocking a guy down onto the mat then he signed home plate on the guys back does anybody know where they can find any pictures?
