A star in the east

Really, how much of a surprise is it to see that blog favorite Gary Burnham has made a splash in Taiwan? Looking back at his career, all the way back to Clemson if you want, Gary’s made an impact in every city he’s played in. News (and video) comes by way of a friend of a friend (Patrick Shanks) - I love the home run call:
Turns out, Gary was the MVP of what appeared to be the March 23 game. Patrick nails it: Gary was a class act here, patiently waiting for the interviewer to translate what he’d said, and then responding to each question. It’s vintage Gary, home-runs, enthusiasm, and the ever present “eye-black” - even for the night games. Nice to see he’s digging the Taiwanese culture - and the seafood.
Gotta question the music though. GN’R?!!

For those interested, Joe Thurston made it on to the TSN Honour Roll this morning with a catch in left field for the Red Sox against Texas yesterday.

oh i see you’ve already found the video clips of Gary.
yup, we are loving him over here. And yeah, kind of strange that they play the GN’R song during the interview.
In fact they play old classics before every game, and then again when the game ends. Bon Jovi, Scorpion, GN’R. But I’ve gotten used to it and it’s hard to not like the classics.
