Mike Jones

[martymoose]

The Shockers best center fielder of all time...

Probably the most fun we’ve had with a Center Fielder. Those who saw the game, know why...he couldn't catch a ball to save his life last night. After being pulled out of the game, his replacement brought us this baseball in the 9th.

After all the crap he got out there, that's pretty cool of him to be a good sport about it and do that.

Most noise in the whole ballpark came from the outfield.

Props.

That is HILARIOUS

I agree with Moose, Jones was fantastic entertainment last night. It was probably the most fun I have ever had at a game the Shockers lost. He was a good sport.

For those that don't know, Mike Jones is a starting wide receiver on the Sun Devil football team and he is pretty darn good. He is a heck of an athlete and is very fast. He is 6'3" and ran a 4.41 forty coming out of high school.

In all fairness to him, I don't think he could see the ball. I've been there a few times... if you can't see it off the bat, you're in deep dodoo.

This will go down as a classic in Shocker lore. Mike Jones is now my favorite non-WSU college baseball player!!! He gets it!

The sky at the time was brutal and the right fielder had lost sight of those balls also. Hell I lost both those balls when they reached the skyline myself and I was way up in a skybox. It is cool that he was such a sport though. Thats what makes going to the park so fun is the little things like that. To bad we couldn't capitalize on those two balls.

At first I thought this was about our former 3rd baseman...who was not a bad ball player on some really good teams.

This is really cool.

As far as the ball is concerned though I saw both and was sitting in the GA section on the 1st base line. Im not trying to brag but I did.

We could make it about ol' number 4, I like talking about gritty,fiery competitors that can play any position, and have alot of sack.

Glad to hear you made it, I was afraid with the weather you wouldn't be able to attend.

I was trying to tell my fellow hill brethren about the former Shocker Mike Jones. If I recall correctly, he played a game where he played a different position every inning. I believe he even pitched a scoreless 9th. What year was that? Against whom? (can't remember the details as I was a punk kid back then)
