Random Athlete Of The Day- Shannon Stewart

Shannon Stewart was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on February 25th 1974…but you probably already knew that. Stewart was drafted out of high school in the first round (19th pick) by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1992 draft. Three years later Shannon made his debut for the Jays. For his first three seasons he didn’t get very many at bats, but in 1998 he started to become a solid...

Comparing Carl Crawford to Shannon Stewart

While looking for a player this morning, the name Shannon Stewart, came into focus. Shannon Stewart? Remember him? Stewart was a good young player for the Toronto Blue Jays who, after playing five full seasons with that team, was traded to the Twins in 2003. His contribution to the Twins that season helped Minnesota to the playoffs. Stewart then had injury trouble to his feet and...

Hideki Irabu arrested after assaulting a bartender

Ex-MLB pitcher Hideki Irabu was arrested in Osaka, Japan for assaulting a bartender after drinking 20 mugs of beer. "Irabu, 39, became angered after his credit card was rejected. He allegedly pushed the bartender against the wall, pulled his hair and smashed at least nine liquor bottles." Was it really necessary to break 9 bottles? I love Hideki. He was big and...

Stewart Signs With Blue Jays

According to Jeff Blair of the Globe and Mail, Shannon Stewart has signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays. It seems that Stewart's agent switch helped facilitate the contract, as the Jays made an offer earlier in the winter. My guess is that this is around a million bucks, and you real...

Nice Job Shannon

Not be to completely anti Red Sox or anything, but congrats to Shannon Stewart for breaking up Curt Schilling's No-No on the last possible occasion. So does that make me happy, why yes it does, because not only does that douche not get a no hitter, but the person that owns him in my keeper league will not get bonus bucks for having a pitcher throw a no no.

Shannon Stewart: Another Failed Move

Yesterday afternoon, the Blue Jays released oft-injured, always underperforming outfielder Shannon Stewart, marking the end of his second tenure in Toronto. Stewart, as you'll recall was given the right-handed half of the left field platoon at the start of the year alongside Matt Stairs, only to fail to deliver offensively and sprain his ankle by stepping [...]

Seth from SethSpeaks.net, John from TwinsGeek, Nick from Nick's Twins Blog, and Michael from RandBall, were again the participants who helped choose the players on the All...

Silver anniversary of the Corrales-Stewart karate fight

Twenty-five years ago today, baseball witnessed one of its stranger and most unlikely on-field fights. It was an odd one because (1) it pitted a manager against a player, and (2) it involved martial arts. Either one would make it a memorable fight, but combined—okay, this is worth looking into. It came in a game between the A’s and Indians on July 1, 1986. The visiting...
