JOHN ROCKER - WHERE ARE YE?

"from MID OCTOBER 1999: John Rocker, We Hardly Knew Ye"

This guy kicked up a lot of dust in the late 90's and upset a lot of New Yorkers with his "Strap Hangers" comment, (aimed at subway riders). He also made some semi racist comments about different minorities and landed in controversey in the sports page. More recently his father was reported killed in a freak auto accident.

This guy entertains - no doubt. And he also comes off as somewhat normal in this interview. But nothing could beat the pictures of this guy in the New York Post with his goofy expressions at the camera looking like a right goof.

He almost encouraged hatred and egged people on with his rants. Its entertaining and a bit dangerous. This guy was living life rather loudly. You don't hear much of his antics anymore and baseball will not be the same.... that is until he opens up his big yap again.
