    I've always wondered how a guy who grew up in Bellflower and Huntington Beach, went to college at Cal and played for the Blue Jays, Mets, Giants and Indians could become such a hick.

    He bought the ranch before he played for the Astros.

    I'll never forget Casty telling him, "I was here when you got here, and I'll be here when you leave." Classic.

    Maybe he thinks going on Survivor will help teach HOF voters to write his name down. :D

    Speaking as someone who lived in the Phillipines for more than three years, please don't. The Filipinos would never forgive us, and it would poison Luzon (same island where I was).

    Still surprised they didn't find an island on the Visayas, where there are probably more remote possibilities, but this way Jeff Probst and the others who want to stay connected with society are only about a day's drive from Manila.

    I wonder if Kent could try to pretend he wasn't a former major-leaguer. What would be the chances that someone there would recognize him? I don't think Whelchel could get away with that.

    A few years ago when Gary Hogeboom was on, I didn't believe it for a second that the one woman (who wound up winning) recognized him.

    Glad to see they are bringing back the fall in the fire guy, the infected foot guy and the almost comatose guy for another shot.

    As I recall somebody asked Hogeboom if he had been a football player and he said that while he went to Central Michigan he didn't play ball there.

    What? With no place to ride his motorcycle wash his truck?

    If Kent has any designs on winning, he should tell them that he's a high school baseball coach and just bet that no one recognizes him.
