Josh Hamilton got his thread, I figured we could have one for another local NC product.

Went to Smithfield-Selma HS, then on to Catawba College. Dodgers minor leaguer of the year last year. Before being called up from AAA, he was batting .400, 5 HRs, 17 RBIs in 10 games. In two games so far as the starting LF for the Dodgers, he is batting .333 with 2 RBIs.

Picked him up on my fantasy team. Got to support my former QB!

Jerry Sands is my boy

I will relentlessly defend him against all detractors

He is pretty well supported in the LA area. If you go look at dodgerfilms on YouTube, you can see it. I wish i could have 30k chanting my name. I heard about that, Hudson said it was a curve that got away from him and signed a baseball for him. Substitute teaching to the big leagues. Not bad.

holler at me when Yankee Stadium is chanting his name after he starts blasting consecutive 500+ foot homers
