Gotta be Willie Stargell Kirk. Because “We Are Family” seems an appropriate song for the new addition to the Kirk family.

That’s dedication.

Baby due anytime, but can’t miss that spring training “soft opening”.

I think he was just upset that this was in fact was the case. My first reaction was who in their right mind would thumbs down it, but then I realized, they were probably upset that I got to it first. At least that is how I looked at it. And thank you for coming to the defense against that lone thumbs down.

I just tried to block that whole statement/visual out of my mind. Jus think if Kasey Kahne was there.

The phrase “and then I looked” really should count as understatement of the year. He wasn’t just checking out an over heated car or something…

Yeah, gotta go with the catcher’s mitt for the thematically correct cartoon visual.

At least the Pirates started off the year with a huge win, a rookie, and a fan for life.

I also pictured the catcher’s mitt since that’s exactly what we’d say as we went in for a delivery: “Who’s catching”. Everyone would automatically look at the shortest person in the group. Anyhow, well done Mr. Gooby and I agree with lapsnscaps in the first post: “James T. Kirk”, all the way.

I’m partial to Andy Van Slyke Kirk, myself.

From the looks of that headline, I bet Craig wishes HBT had an edit function.

Sorry. I’m Catholic, so your ancestors are the root of all of our problems, as well as our salvation. Nothing personal, of course.

What kind of gloves did they bring back? I would assume outfielder’s due to the size, but a catcher’s mitt does have the extra padding.

Craig,

There is really only one acceptable name…

James Tiberius Kirk
