Jeff Kent Bids Adieu To All You Assholes

After 17 tumultuous years putting my Hall of Fame number, Dodgers second baseman Jeff Kent announced his retirement today. Kent may be best remembered for his awesome stat sheet—five-time All-Star, the 2000 NL MVP, 351 home runs that were best ever by a second bagger, 74 more than Ryne Sandberg—but what about his attitude? Sure his numbers are comparatively better for his position than Jim Rice’s are, but Kent’s treated the media with the same F-U attitude in San Francisco, Houston and Los Angeles that Rice did in Boston, and which most people said held the outfielder out of the Hall until the last shot. For us, we think he should be best remembered for breaking his wrist while ATVing, and blaming it on an accident that was suffered while washing his truck. That, in itself and in our estimation, is Hall worthy right there.
