    John Kruk has a higher lifetime BA, OBP, OPS, and OPS+ than Bo Jackson, in almost twice as many games.

    Have enjoyed the player / career retro videos. What sticks out now is the use of "indelible" in every one. Had to wait until 8:46 and 10:17 in the video to hear it twice. The word "indelible" has now made an indelible mark on my retro video watching experience. Thank you!

    Kruk is the consummate baseball lifer and just a fabulously authentic, fun man. I wish him nothing but the utmost continued success as he continues his broadcasting career in Philly and whatever else he chooses to pursue. I'm not even a Phillies or Padres fan but I just love John Kruk.

    I have a fantasy baseball team I am putting together. It has John Kruk, Kent Hrbek, Cecil Fielder, Jason Giambi, Greg Luzinski, Miguel Cabrera, Steve Balboni, Pablo Sandoval, Bengie Molina, and a pitching staff of CC Sabathia, Fernando Valenzuela and Roger Clemons. I think there is also a spot for David Ortiz and Adam Dunn.

    They are all ballplayers except maybe the pitchers... 1. They don't sweat while playing 2. They get hurt running and 3. They need to take a timeout in between swings.
