Since MLB takes down anything you put on YouTube these days, Can't Stop The Bleeding points out a reenactment of John Maine's first major league home run yesterday. And I thought I had too much time on my hands...




They certainly try their best to recreate Maine's home run trot, that was great to see last night. Thanks to Metsblog for pointing it out.

Ever wonder how those Red Sox stay so trim and snazzy? Me neither, but there's an interesting article in the Boston Globe regarding the Red Sox barber LMontro.

"...he styled some of the best players in Major League Baseball, including Ortiz, Jose Reyes, and Albert Pujols. Suddenly, he had an all-star clientele that kept him on speed-dial. During the 2006 season, LMontro flew back and forth across the country cutting members of the Yankees, Mets, Marlins, Orioles, Tigers, and Red Sox. "I couldn't settle with one team," he says. LMontro might have had the same schedule this season, but something happened during spring training. In March, LMontro was in Fort Myers, Fla., about to give Ortiz a trim, when he got a call from Tejada. The Orioles shortstop was in Fort Lauderdale, and asked if LMontro would come and give him a quick cut. "I told Papi, 'I'll be back,"' says LMontro. "I was about halfway there when Papi called me and said, "Make a U-turn.' I've been exclusive with the Red Sox ever since."
