Psssh, you wish you could hit a Grand Slam Single.
Heh.
I was watching a report on
Real Sports with Bryan Gumble (probably spelled his name wrong) the other night and they were doing a story on a guy addicted to gambling. He had put $25k on the over on that game, betting $25k that the total runs scored in that game would be OVER the number eight.
The score was 3-3 when Ventura hit that bomb. So he thought he had won and went nuts. When he went to the sports book the next day, they wouldn't cash it--and the official score read 4-3. Since Ventura never rounded the bases, this guy lost FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
I'm a Braves fan, and I HAAATE Robin Ventura. This guy LOST 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS because the idiot couldn't run 360 feet.
