[QUOTE="Buzzbomb, post: 631369, member: 1134"] I defer to Fred J., if any of what I think and write here is untrue-since I’ve never met him and have limited third hand info. He’s a family man, an American loving the game, grew up in Houston playing on the block. Works with the 165 kids at the Nationals Academy, donating time & his money. Speaking of such, Boras is his agent. Just like Harper, Strasberg. Can’t blame him for being a good business man. Where I believe he’s misunderstood is that he doesn’t care much for interviews or reporters all over the clubhouse. Or kids in the clubhouse, that are young and all over the place. He realizes that it’s part of the game, but not what he prefers. Personally, I have mixed feelings on what has bothered him. The Press needs to make a living, a kid like me who had a Grandfather that played AAA before WWII(when he got back home 29 was too old for MLB, by not having been established prior to leaving). So, if he had Ron Luciano take me into a Yankee clubhouse, I went in with huge eyeballs. It was an opportunity I’ll always take with me to the grave. Wearing Freddie Patek’s windbreaker until it was stolen out of my locker, was my favorite coat. I loved being on the field of old Yankee Stadium. Therefore, I’m mixed on what bothers Rendon.
