Wiki Wednesdays - David Eckstein

Not to try to steal any of Fire Joe Morgan's Eckstein thunder, but read the last sentence of the "College Career" section.

Now I don't hate David Eckstein. He seems like a nice guy, his entrance music is sometimes Crystal Method's "Busy Child," and, according to Wikipedia, his last name means "cornerstone" in German. Seems fine. However, I can't stand how overrated this guy's become thanks to a lot of bone-headed ESPN writers who praise him like he's Radio from that movie Radio or Rudy from that movie Willow. He's a very average-to-slightly below average baseball player! But because he's four feet tall, everyone's got such a soft sport for him, including Jews apparently, who voted him on their special All-American team even though he's a devout Catholic. Joe Morgan pulling this crap I can understand, but come on, Jews!
