Padres announcer loves himself some David Eckstein
Listen as Padres’ announcer Mark Grant describe second baseman David Eckstein after a play in which the San Diego second baseman lost track of a pop up last night against the Giants:
Scrappy? Hell yes. Smart? Absolutely. But the greatest to ever play the game? Lay off the caffeine when you’re announcing games, Mark.
Correction: Mark Grant said Eckstein is “one of the greatest to every play the game.” I incorrectly stated what Grant said and I apologize.
In fairness, he did say that Eckstein was “one of the” greatest players ever to play the game, not THE greatest player.
Side note: When he was with the Angels, Eckstein used to live in my condo complex.
Sorry, yes – he said “one” of the greatest players to play the game.
Doesn’t make it any less ridiculous.
Sure it does. Isn’t it worse to say that he’s “THE greatest player” than it is it say he’s “ONE OF THE greatest players”?
We’re talking about varying degrees of ridiculousness here.
Sure.
But it’s an absurd comment. That was the point of my post, which you’ve absolutely ruined with your technicalities.
I hope Eckstein crapped on your front door of the condo you two were both living in.
Au contraire — I’ve made this post with my technicalities.
There you go, missing pertinent details again. You’ve become the thing you hate the most — an internet reader who doesn’t read.
