Heads22 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091201/ap_on_...ch_award_teahen Mark Teahen wins 2009 Hutch Award 1 hr 18 mins ago SEATTLE – Mark Teahen of the Chicago White Sox has won the 2009 Hutch Award for his efforts on and off the field. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle made the announcement Monday. The award goes to a player who best exemplifies the honor, courage and dedication of former major league pitcher and manager Fred Hutchinson, who died from cancer in 1964 at age 45. Teahen was traded this month from the Kansas City Royals to Chicago. The infielder-outfielder will receive his award Jan. 27 in Seattle. While in Kansas City, Teahen was a spokesman and fundraiser for a program that gave children with physical or mental challenges the chance to play baseball.

SoxAce Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) He is a very good guy from all accounts. He will fit in very well in the clubhouse with the guys. Congrats to him. BTW I still love that high five video. Edited December 1, 2009 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I think we're going to like Teahen. He's (from all i hear) a really down to earth guy, very charitable, who likes to set up roots in the community. He's kind of a non-spazzy Nick Swisher.

JoeBatterz Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I never even heard of this award until I saw it earlier in the Seattle newspaper. I guess even Mickey Mantle won it back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't give a rats a** how good he is in the community. I want him to be good on the baseball field. WINNING ANOTHER WORLD SERIES would be excellent for the community! As long as he isn't like curt schilling or david wells - a jagbag of epic proportions - I don't care.

flavum Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Here's a 40 minute interview with Teahen. I haven't listened to it yet, but if you have the time, go for it. http://www.stationcaster.com/player.php?s=...373&f=38675 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 OK, I listened to it. They don't start talking White Sox until minute 13. First off, he's a very laid back guy. Dry sense of humor (like Robin Ventura). Wants number 24. I don't think he's got his mind on the White Sox quite yet...and that's ok. The Royals are all he's known, so I'm sure once he shows up to Glendale or maybe Soxfest that it will start to set in. Had some things to say about AJ...typical you hate him as an opponent, but love him as a teammate. Overall, it's a good listen, and he seems like a quality guy and a good interview. Now, if he can hit .275, hit 20 homers, and knock in 80 while playing an above average 3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
