South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) http://msnbc.msn.com/id/13089389/ Three months into a $4 million, one-year contract, Everett has been the Mariners' do-right designated hitter. His teammates and manager hail him as a steadying presence on a last-place team. "Carl's fit in real well here,'' Hargrove said. "He's pushed his teammates in the right way.'' Within days, Everett had joined Eddie Guardado as the cackling crackups on an otherwise bland team. Since then, Everett has taken all of his teammates to dinner. Before home batting practices, he has made sure to playfully tease the same three early arriving waitresses who work the prime seats behind home plate. Not exactly a brooding malcontent. "I learned a long time ago you need to judge people for yourself,'' Hargrove said. "Carl's been nothing but a positive influence on this team.''

knightni Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 He was a model citizen in Chicago, imo. The only place he had major issues in was Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 This is great stuff to read. The only time lately where I was mad at him was when I was at the Twins/Mariners game bragging to Twins fans about how good of a team player he was, then he was caught napping on that triple play.

So being a steadying presence on a last place team, and fitting in real well on a last place team is a compliment? Your the best bad player in the league.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 So I guess he bribes all of his teammates by buying them dinner. Nah jk, good to hear about Jurassic. He is a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
