third baseman for seasons before landing Tim Geezer. Gehrke
can wreck a baseball or a good Snicker salad, and picks balls in
amazing fashion at the hot corner ... He enjoys the challenge of
playing without protection, and can often spark the team with
his truck driver mouth ... When the Irish are in need of a
longball it is often struck by the powerful Weezer ... Geezer
brings a tremendous support staff to the park, including his
wife-to-be Linda, a Hamburg Hawk alum. It might be the first
Irish-Hawk wedding on record ... Jimmy Gehrke hit a career high
10 homers in 1998, and has become a more complete player
each season ... If you think we might be kidding, go eff yourself,
you effer.
