Did I impress you with my tweet embedding skillz!

Obviously the better player won out, but Hairston went on to have a nice career and was quite valuable to several teams.

I knew there had to be an easy way, and for somebody that used to build PCs from total scratch, supported mainframes, knew unix inside and out, and likes to think I know what I am doing at a keyboard, at times, I feel like a newbie.

I'll always remember meeting Jerry, Sidney Ponson, and Larry Bigbie at Orioles Fanfest many years ago... really makes me appreciate what we have right now.

Good luck to him.

You could use cURL and the twitter API to tweet for you.

Back prior to the 2004 season, I was expecting Hairston to win the second base competition and was hoping the Cardinals could acquire Roberts after he lost out. Then Jerry broke his finger in his first spring training game and before he came off the DL, Brian had the job sewn up.

I kept hoping the Cardinals would pick Jerry up, but they didn't seem to have any interest. Just as well, considering how fragile Jerry's been throughout his career.

I still remember how they were comparing Jerry's glove to Robbie Alomar Jr.
