Gregg Zaun is the epitome of grit and hustle. If that scowl had a caption, it would read: "I just ate a plate of glass for dinner ... and I'm washing it down with a bottle of tabasco sauce".
My favorite Gregg Zaun moments: knocking himself unconscious trying to break up a double play on May 8th, 2005 (wow, I looked something up), hitting a three run bomb that night my entire business class cheered him on drunkenly, and that time he threw out a runner trying to steal second.
I once met Laura MacDonald, John MacDonald's wife, during a food drive: one of the first things I asked her was, "where's Gregg Zaun's wife?"
Zaun's got one of those great names that's pretty much a nickname built in: "Zauner"
Blue Jays Nicknames I've tried to get to catch on but have had no luck:
Ray "Tony" Olmedo
Aaron "Salisbury" Hill
Fatt Stairs
Jordan De "Youngblood"
Jamie Campbell's like a sly politician: but instead of promising health care and drug plans, he gains the support of the elderly by reminding them when it's their birthday.
