i got to meet him today. well, actually we tore up his yard and downspouted an add on garage.

He drives an H1, and owns 2 H2's and one Bentley sports car. along with a 28' motor home and some other "small" car. we never saw that one. i also think he owns an Escalade.

nice house, 5 kids, 2 dogs. good view.

big guy too.

i did a search too just to make sure.
I got his autograph when he was playing. Nice guy.

very nice. has money, but also watches his own ass. fenced in his whole house just to keep his kids safe (sorta on a cliff) and to keep dogs in etc. he also cares about his kids which a lot of rich black athletes dont seem to.

I'm surprised he still lives in this area considering he didn't play with the Indians for very long.

Man, those were the days, back when the league seemed a little more enjoyable. Ellis Burks on the Giants, Kenny Lofton on the Indians, The Big Unit on the Mariners. Those were the days.
