Mo knows a lot about baseball history... I know he reads books about old pitchers a lot. Why don't you go ask Markakis who Paul O'Neil was.

I couldn't care less about the history of anything ... let alone the history of sports... to be honest. I live for the moment. Not for the past... that's probably how many players think...

:lol:

yeah I remember Chuck James knows like nothing about the sport at all...

here's an article

Quote:
 
Now as James prepares to build upon the impressive rookie season he provided the Braves in 2006, he still doesn't know much about his fellow Major Leaguers. But as the statistics show, he certainly has the ability to baffle these unfamiliar figures with his talented left arm.

"He has no clue who he is facing," Braves second baseman Kelly Johnson said. "He doesn't know a name. He doesn't know anything. He just throws it. ... To him, everybody is just a batter."

It's James' aloofness that some believe has allowed him to taste so much early success. After issuing a walk to begin his Major League career on Sept. 25, 2005, teammates had to explain to him that he was smart to have carefully pitched to Colorado's Todd Helton.

His response was, "Why, is he a good hitter or something?"

When James saw Mike Gonzalez throwing batting practice during the early days of camp a few weeks ago, he asked Johnson, "Who is that?" As Johnson recalls, "I had to go through the whole thing."

Not even recognizing Gonzalez by name, Johnson had to explain that the club's new left-handed reliever had been acquired a month earlier in a much-publicized trade that sent Adam LaRoche to Pittsburgh.

Now with the realization that LaRoche was no longer a teammate, James' only remaining question for Johnson was, "Is he good?"

"Chuckie James just be Chuckie James," said Braves catcher Brayan Pena, who served as James' catcher at Triple-A Richmond during portions of both the 2005 and '06 seasons.
