At Florida State, the Animals of Section B would chant out his last name.

“Gimme an M! Gimme an I”…

And after they got their Z, “What’s that spell?”

“Doug! Doug!”

“Mostly, though, this post is just an excuse for me to get a little more use out of my ability to type “Mientkiewicz” without looking. It took years of practice, trust me.”

I’ll never forget the song. “M-I-E-N-T-K-I-E-W-I-C-Z. That’s how you spell Mientkiewicz. Mientkiewicz!”

Dan Patrick: Your favorite Olympic moment from Sydney?
Doug Mientkiewicz: Tom Lasorda peed on himself.
DP: Details, please.
DM: He was giving us this pep talk at our first meeting. When he stood up, he had this wet ring in the crotch of his uniform. No lie! I mean he’s trying to motivate us, telling us to shock the world.
DP: Guess he was coaching by example.
DM: Sure seemed to work.

So awesome. I miss Douggie. I learned how to spell Mientkiewicz through the “Get to know ‘em” radio ads.
