Sounds like libel to me.

Ok, so you're "crazy" just like us? You will fit right in!

Landon Evanson at bugsandcranks.com has an interview with retired Phillies catcher, Darren Daulton.

Here is just one question and answer:

Evanson: It was a team full of characters (referring to the '93 Phillies) that late announcer Harry Kalas referred to as a "wacky, wonderful bunch of throwbacks." We are sure there were plenty, but give us your favorite, perhaps craziest story about the '93 Phillies.

Daulton: Geez, oh man. Not really, there were so many that I can't really pin any one in particular down. It just started the first day of spring training with (John) Krukkie and Jim Eisenreich. When Eisy walked into the clubhouse, Krukkie looked at him and said "Hey, you're that guy with Tourette's Syndrome, right?" and Eisy said, "Yeah," and Krukkie said "Well don't worry, you're going to fit in great here because everybody else is a lot crazier than that, but they can't blame it on anything." Eisy had a laugh and everybody else did too, and it kind of kicked everything off.

Classic!

It was only then that "Eisy" knew that he was at a place that he truly belonged.
