I remember getting into it with ASU when I first made this claim or better yet statement... but Jeff Kent will go down as one of my favorite Dodgers ever. I've followed the team since I was old enough to hold a mitt. And I still feel that way.

It's too bad he never got a ring.

Goodbye! I hope I never have to see that horrible porn 'stache again
