KENNY LOFTON RUMORS & GOSSIP
The Forced Retirement Squad
It shouldn’t have been difficult for Kenny Lofton to find work after the 2007 season. He hit .296/.367/.414, played decent defense and tallied right around 3 WAR. He stole 23 of 30 bases, posted his first walk rate at 10 percent or higher since 2002, and managed to play in 136 games despite being 40 years old. His batting line was almost identical a year earlier with the Dodgers...

Kenny Lofton Is A Great Sport
Funtimeinternet’s Scott Stephenson took it upon himself to hit up a pro-am golf tournament and ask some celebrities questions of varying silliness. The answers that he gets, of course, are the stars here. Some athletes play along, others, not so much. Here’s a couple of the good ones transcribed for you if you don’t want [...]

Carmona Trade; Press Tour Wrap-Up; Lofton to Tribe HOF and More
I've awaken this Friday morning to read the ridiculousness that is the rumors about trading Fausto Carmona to make salary room to sign second baseman Orlando Hudson.Yeah if that statement doesn't make much sense to you, it's because it doesn't make much sense to me either.This would be a mistake of epic proportions and I don't think I'm exaggerating here.Now...

Kenny Lofton's Legacy
When I think of Kenny Lofton, it all starts with his walk from the on-deck circle to home plate. It wasn't quite a walk, but more of a strut. Lofton walked up to his bats, seemingly knowing just a bit more than the guy throwing the pitches. Kenny would then torture the pitcher, slapping away every pitch thrown his way that he had no interest in, until that one pitch came his...

My favorite Sosa memories
I was fifteen during the summer of 98, and was barely a baseball fan at the time, let alone a Cubs fan. My family is full of Cubs fans but as I grew up in the DC area and didn’t have cable for most of my childhood, my baseball fandom was pretty much confined to watching the playoffs, so I didn’t see much of the Cubs. Sosa changed all of that for me - the summer of 98...

Steve Kerr. Not only a GM, but a rapper too!
The guys over at 100% Injury Rate tossed this over to me this morning…And there is nothing funnier to see than a current GM rapping in a 1980s. Period. Steve Kerr, Kenny Lofton, Tom Tolbert, Jud Buechler and Sean Elliott all grace the video (or should I say embarrass themselves). Gotta love it.

The Kenny Lofton/Josh Beckett 2005 Incident
I managed to dig up the clip from the 2005 season when Josh Beckett ran into the same incident with Kenny Lofton. This time Lofton was with the Phillies. Beckett's quote after that 2005 game?
"Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy," he said. "It gets back to wasted energy. I need to just focus on the things I can control. After something happens, you can'...

Lofton Backs Sheffield on Torre Remarks
"All I can say is, Sheffield knows what he's talking about. That's all I'm going to say," Lofton told the AP.
In an interview, Sheffield had accused the Yankees manager Joe Torre of treating his white players with more respect than his black players...among other controversial remarks.
