It's a shame Klug was one of those guys, but even if he never swings again, he can rest assured that people who saw him know that he didn't leave anything on the shelf during his Oakland career. Viva Keg.

Viva Keg.

I've never set foot on the field with a better ball player, and I can only hope that another team is smart enough to make use of his talents at some point or another. He's got the good ol' North Dakota work ethic going for him, and if he ever gets the chance to be an every-day player, I know he'll kick in some numbers, not to mention get the team jacked up, that will improve any team. He's the good kind of cancer, where his hard work will infect the rest of the team. I hope for the best for him, in my small mind nobody deserves it more than him.
