Here's a site many of you will enjoy. At JockBio.com -- their slogan is "Get a Life!" -- the latest baseball feature is on Vernon Wells.

This detailed biography was written by Andy Collins, a former sportswriter who now works for a Syracuse ad agency and is a SkyChiefs season-ticket holder. It's especially good as a chronicle of Wells' long journey through the minors. About the only thing missing is Vernon's current role as Blue Jays player rep, which underscores his status as a respected team leader.

There are numerous other sports bios on the site, which also offers its books and memorabilia for sale. Among a couple of dozen on baseball players is a Carlos Delgado feature. In addition to the bios, check out the 'Facts', 'What They Say' and 'My Say' buttons for more information and quotes. Oh, and please don't blame me if you spend a couple of hours there. Our mission here at Da Box is to reduce productivity, one workplace at a time.

Interesting, Coach, about the adjustments that Mike Barnett made to Vernon's stance at the plate.

The only error I noticed was the wrong Goodwin. It was the horrid Curtis Goodwin, not Tom they dicked around with in CF (along with McRae and Brumfield) in 99.

Thanks for the props, Coach. And thanks to you and "benum" for the valuable insight. I passed your comments along to the good people who run the JockBio site, and they've already posted the changes (about Curtis Goodwin in the main BIO text, and about Vernon-as-Player-Rep in the FACTS list.)
They also asked me to let you know that a JockBio about Roy Halladay may be coming some time in 2004, so keep checking back.

Awesome bio Andy! Vernon Wells is my favorite player, ever since I watched him at Syracuse (I'm from Skaneateles.) Glad to see someone finally writing about him.He's going to have an even better season this year. This site is cool and so is the bio site. I never saw either one before.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to post it more than once.
