Baseball All Star Game MVP could of been...-Rod Fisher

Another MLB All Star game is in the books. Another American League win. Dissapointing night for Albert Puhols. Pre game was inspiring. Joe and Tim in the broadcast booth were, just like always. All Star game MVP Carl Crawford made one really nice catch and that is all it took to be MVP. There you have it. (Ok, he had a hit too.) By the way, Crawford could have been a Heisman Trophy candidate or winner if he chose college football over professional baseball. Crawford was an all everything option quarterback at his high shcool in Florida and re-wrote most of Tommy Kramer's records. You remember touchdown Tommy. Led Nebraska to back to back national championships in the mid 90's. Well, then Husker coach Frank Solich had Crawford committed to come to Nebraska earlier this decade to be the next in line after Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch to quarterback the Huskers. It's too bad he didn't. Crawford chose professional baseball and Nebraska had to go with (Drum Roll Please) Jamal Lord at quarterback. Who knows, had Crawford come to Nebraska, Solich might still have a job. Bill Callahan would still not know where Lincoln is on the map. And let's say Solich was not coaching anymore, either retired or resigned or got fired, whatever, Bo Pelini would probably have stepped right in as head coach and Kevin Cosgrove could have faded into the Big 10 sunset and would not have become a household word in Nebraska football kitchens. And not a good word either. I guess after last night at the All Star Game, Crawford knew what he was doing.

  1. Gotta laugh at this one. Did Crawford break Tommy Kramer's records, or was it Tommie Frazier? :oP
