I've tried to be objective. I've tried to be rational. But at this point I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.
"I got here right as Griffey was hitting a two-run double down the line, so I was pretty pumped,'' said Wilson, who watched the end of Seattle's 3-2 victory over Toronto. "I was pretty excited to walk into that, put on the uniform, went in the bathroom and kind of looked at myself and was like, 'All right, I'm a Mariner.' (Pravda)
Asked to characterize his game, Wilson deadpanned: "Power, power, power … 45 homers." (Boling)
I already love Jack Wilson.

That's an awesome quote about the 45 homers.

Deadpanned? He was laughing as he said it.

Stunningly ugly, and yet so so very beautiful.
Welcome to Seattle, Jack. Can’t wait for the inevitable “WTF?” homer tonight.

Me too and I hated him as recently as yesterday!

I like the shot of him with JR further in the set.
headlined “Seattle Mariners’ Ken Griffey Jr., left, checks out new Mariner shortstop Jack Wilson”

who writes the captions?
Some of them sound a little too witty for mainstream media.

Also, I will not judge, but I will note that....
….Jeff has subtly put his thumb on the scales here, biasing us favorably by posting a picture of Wilson with one of our favorite Mariners.

It would have been interesting if the picture was taken with, say, General Franco.

He is still dead I here.

He's head and shoulders over anyone we've had at the position in a while.
What a steady decline it has been since A rod. I mean… Rich Aurelia. Jesus.

Rich hit 37 homers one year!

Good, he's got a sense of humour
He’ll need it
pakipaki - July 30, 2009
Now as opposed to when he was a Pirate?
Slow Country - July 30, 2009
That's a crazy .gif
vivaelpujols - July 30, 2009
He's fun as hell to watch play
glad he’s gone from the NL central though

And he studies batter/pitcher matchups for positioning purposes!
